Late Neolithic, Early Bronze Age Grange stone circle was aligned to the sunrise on #Lughnasadh, #Lammas, the day from the "#Celtic" calendar which marks the end of summer and beginning of autumn. Today. Of course this is a bit too early for #Celts, right? oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2014/09/grange…
This stone circle was built as a temple to Crom Dubh, the ancient Irish Sun and Grain god. This was his holy mountain oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2017/11/sun-mo…
Crom Dubh was a Bull God, bull being his holy animal and his alter ego. Bull sacrifices to Crom were recorded in 19th c. oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2019/08/bull-o…
Interestingly Crom Dubh's day, #Lughnasadh marks the beginning of the mating season of the Aurochs, wild Eurasian cattle, the totem animal of the first farmers...This Vinca culture bucranium. They were positioned over house entrances...
Crom Dubh was probably brought into Ireland from the Balkans. It is the Balkans that we find his twin, Hromi Daba...And their granddaddy From Div, Thunder Giant/God...And the key to understanding the true nature of Crom Dubh...Sky father turned into Devil. oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2019/08/bull-o…
The link between bulls and the date that marks the end of summer beginning of autumn led to discovery of mythologised animal solar year markers, which then turned out to be everywhere... oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/p/animal-solar……
