Hey, guys. Yesterday I looked through these books to satisfy myself on three points in the current book. DICTIONARY OF CELTIC MYTH AND LEGEND by Miranda J. Green; PENDRAGON by Steve Blake and Scott LLoyd; WICCA, a guide for the solitary practitioner, by Scott Cunningham; A WITCHES’ BIBLE by Janet and Stewart Farrar; THE ANCIENT CELTIC FESTIVALS by Clare Walker Leslie and Frank E. Gerace; and THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HISTORIC AND ENDANGERED LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY BREEDS; plus a wonderful sight on the web about Irish Wolf Hounds, www.irishwolfhounds.org/history. This is one of the best organized web sights I’ve ever seen. The amount of research that has gone into and the logic of it’s arrangement is a wonderful surprise after some of the muddy sights I’ve seen. (I don’t do chat rooms, or roam for recreation, but I do some research on the web, if I can then confirm that information from at least two other sources, though if it’s really cool and something more minor in plot, I’ll settle for one confirmation. But the two confirmations must not refer to eachother as their source. You’d be amazed at how many people on the web do that.)
I found out why the Irish Celts ate more pork than beef. The wild ancestor of the domestic cow, the Aurochs, did not make it that far north in that area of the world. But pigs did. So logical, once you’ve done your research. Did I really need to know why pork is more popular in ancient Celt society than beef for the most part, no. But I did need to decide between one kind of visit by a supernatural food animal and another. I thought about sheep, cows, or pigs, but which one? Guess which one I’m using?
I won’t detail the other question I was trying to answer because that will give too much away. Okay, the two questions I was trying to answer, but anyway . . . Gotta go make pages.
