• Úna Bhán

    Legend of Úna Bhán

    MacDermott was the Chieftain of Moylurg, a Celtic Kingdom in North Roscommon. He had a beautiful daughter, Úna Bhán, - so named because of her long blonde hair. His neighbour was Tomás Láidir Costello, a good and sincere man, handsome and strong.
    Úna Bhán and Tomás Láidir fell in love and wished to marry but MacDermot would not allow the marriage because he believed Tomás Láidir was not good enough for his daughter. Tomás Láidir was banished from the area and MacDermot had Úna Bhán confined on Castle Island, Lough Key, then called "The Rock", which was located in the centre of MacDermot territory.
    Úna Bhán went into a deep melancholy and was dying of grief. Tomás Láidir, hearing of the situation went to see her and when he left, vowed that if MacDermot did not send a message for him to return before he reached the river, he would never go back. The messenger was sent, but did not reach Tomás Láidir until after he had crossed the river. Being a man of honour Tomás Láidir was unable to break his vow and did not return.
    Úna Bhán died of a broken heart and was buried on Trinity Island, an island on Lough key. In his grief Tomás Láidir used to swim to the island every night to keep vigil at her grave. Eventually he got pneumonia and realising that he was dying requested that MacDermot allow him to be buried beside Úna Bhán. His request was granted and thus the two lovers were belatedly united.
    Two trees grew up over their graves, entwining together to form a Lovers Knot, standing guard over the site.

  • The Loch Ness Centre in the Highlands has asked NASA and universities to help in a new hunt for the Loch Ness Monster.

    The Loch Ness Centre, located in the Highlands of Scotland, has reached out to NASA, as well as other scientists and universities, to lend their expertise in a new search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster. This request comes on the 90th anniversary of the first organized surface watch of Loch Ness, known as the Sir Edward Mountain's expedition, which took place from May 30 to June 2


    .


    Since the first expedition in 1934, there have been over 1,156 reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster on the official Loch Ness Monster sightings register. Last year, a large search of Loch Ness concluded with a hydrophone capturing loud underwater noises and several potential sightings

    [[5]].


    The Loch Ness Centre has partnered with Loch Ness Exploration (LNE), an independent and voluntary research team, along with hundreds of in-person and virtual volunteers, to conduct these searches. The aim of this collaboration is to utilize state-of-the-art technology and scientific expertise to uncover the mysteries of Loch Ness and potentially shed light on the existence of the legendary creature

    .


    The Loch Ness Centre is hoping that by involving NASA and other experts, they can gather new equipment and expertise to enhance their search efforts. This year's search is expected to be one of the largest hunts for the Loch Ness Monster in over 50 years, attracting researchers, monster hunters, and enthusiasts from around the world
    .


    It's important to note that despite numerous reported sightings and searches, the existence of the Loch Ness Monster remains unproven. The search efforts, however, continue to captivate the imagination of people worldwide and contribute to the ongoing folklore surrounding the legendary creature
    .


    Overall, the Loch Ness Centre's request for assistance from NASA and universities demonstrates their commitment to exploring the mysteries of Loch Ness and engaging experts from various fields in their search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster

  • The Statue of Liberty IS Lucifer...
    While I have no clue who this guy is.....
    He is right on point folks!
    The "Statue of Liberty" is Lucifer!
    That is just a FACT
    And I'll tell you what else folks..... EVERY TIME you turn a #Paramount movie on, you'll see #Lucifer again.... "The light bearer" is shown at the beginning of
    EVERY PARAMOUNT MOVIE!
    But that's all folks
    The other movie companies do the SAME THING!
    (Paying homage to Lucifer/fallen angels)
    The mountain that the stars fly around and then assemble above......
    that is Mount Hermon, where the fallen angels landed when cast out of Heaven!
    Now you find this fact in the bible!
    You must look to the book of Enoch for this information!
    My point is simple folks, EVERYTHING that #Hollywood and Television produce is designed to honor the fallen angels. AND designed to make YOU feel sympathetic towards them! It's Luciferian! (Like ALL "government" is, and the "Legal System"
    You are NOT in Kansas anymore!
    You ARE in the world with Lucifer and his minions!
    This guy appears to be a gnostic, one of those people who view Lucifer as some kind of "hero of humanity."
    In other words.A MORON!
    Yahuwah is not a "Tyrant" and Lucifer is NOT on your side!
    So act right
    The Book of the Watchers describes the fallen angels (1 Enoch 6-8). In the biblical story of the Nephilim, the sons of God saw the daughters of men were beautiful so they married them and had children (Gen 6:1-4). These children were called the Nephilim, the “mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.” In Genesis, the story shows how far the Nephilim, giants in genesiswickedness of humans had become: humans interacted sexually with spiritual beings. No details are given on how this might be possible, but the next verse in Genesis says “the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” This brief story is tantalizing: who are these “sons of God” and what were the Nephilim? 1 Enoch offers an expansion of this biblical story in chapters 6-11. Are the Nephilim fallen angels?
    In 1 Enoch, the sons of God are the “sons of heaven,” angelic beings led by Shemihazah. The name Shemihazah (שׁמיחזה, šemîḥăzāh) means “My name has seen” and is sometimes vocalized as Semyaz of Semyaza (Nickelsburg, 179). “Name” refers to God, so the name refers to constantly watching God. This is ironic since God will see this rebellion and render judgment on the Shemihazah. Some readers want to find some reference to Satan as the leader of fallen angels in the Book of Enoch. As the story progresses, however, Azazel emerges as the ringleader (but later Enoch will intercede on behalf of Azazel). This is an example of how foolish (and impossible) it is to project modern Christian angelology on 1 Enoch. Azazel is not the modern version of Satan at all!
    The two hundred angels take an oath to descend to Mt Hermon, find women to marry and have children with them. 1 Enoch 6:7-8 lists the names of the leaders of these angels. Most have names with some reference to God (Remashel, “evening of God” or Kokabel, “star of God” ). The most interesting of these names is Dan’el, a name associated with the Ugaritic literature and often offered as an explanation of the legendary character of Daniel.
    In chapters 7 and 8 the angels make good on their oath and take women as wives. They teach humans “magical medicines, incantations, the cutting of roots and about plants.” The origin of folk-medicine is therefore ascribed to these angelic beings. The children of the angels are giants standing three hundred cubits (an improbable 450 feet tall!) These giants eat so much food the humans cannot feed them anymore. The giants proceed to eat humans as well as all other kinds of animals.
    The text notes especially that they drank the blood of animals, “sinning against them.” In the biblical flood story, the Noahic covenant includes a command about consuming blood. 1 Enoch 7-8 is a reflection upon this command which was probably given because the antediluvian world did in fact consume blood.
    In addition to teaching humans in interpret a wide range of signs, they teach humans medicinal magic. The angel Azazel teaches humans metal-working, including making of ornaments and weapon making. Azazel also teaches them to make eye-shadow and other physical ornamentation. This may be a polemic against pagan practice of using make up in their religious ceremonies. Other angels teach the humans how to track the stars (astrology and divination) and the signs of the moon. These angels are responsible for teaching humans all sorts of sinful practices. Humanity cries out as a result of this oppression, a cry which “goes up to heaven.”
