so true!
really?!?!? He was a son of Milesius . . the first of the Celts to settle in Ireland. there are epic tales of the battles between them and the Tuatha de Dannan for the rights to live there. He was the bard of the clan, and wrote a fabulous song about it all. it's called Song of Amergin. go figure, eh? still, its a great read. goes into a lot of Irish Celtic mythology, and each section is named for a month in the Celtic calendar (all names for sacred trees as well). It has a place of honor in my BOS. ^_^
