This is the Prologue to a story/book I'm working on about Irish mythology. This opening 'chapter' is about a young Druid who must pass some initiation trials before becoming a fully-fledged druid. As such he meets Cernunnos and The Dagda. And yes, while Cernunnos isn't mentioned all too often in the Irish myths, only once as far as I can deduce, a nature god who was a figure of devotion among European continential Celts is worthy of a mention.

Statues and Czech Wangs

Your head is rushing, no, swimming...swimming with ideas, boom, boom, boom, tangents connecting with tangents leading to insights and foresights. It's like a river has burst its banks and has formed a new waterfall and it’s all cascading and crashing down, down, down on your mind and it feels utterly amazing.

Short Story; Bliss

The Poland Podcast, Corona Lockdown Part X, Kazik vs Kaczynski, Polish Gaydar and our ideals bands This week we talk about the punctuality of the Polish, Kazik vs Kaczynski, Polish Gaydar and our ideal bands. Exactly what it says on the tin really, Poles are always on time and that time has to be in 24 hours thank you. The singer of Kult doesn't like Jaroslaw Kaczynski, which isn't unique but he's had a song banned. Polish gaydar, something that is rumoured to exist but doesn't. And, they type of band we'd all be in if we weren't old and past it.
