Lughnasadh part 4 - Crom Cruach & Crom Dubh In Ireland

Lughnasadh part 4 - Crom Cruach & Crom Dubh In Ireland the lesser known mythology of harvests gathered During this second part, of this two part Croms epic, we will look at how various ancient farming and human land settling origins merged to become interpretations of the Croms culture in Ireland. As I introduced in part one, none of this evolution from 'hunter gathering' to settled farming may have been possible without the developing human abilities of sky observations, recordings, configurations, the creation of geometry, mathematics, and the building of stone 'star circles' to align with points of the solar year. When various farming cultures, that seem to originate in the Balkans, arrived in Ireland various folklore and mythologies seemed to also merge to suit what is now the island of Ireland. They have become the stories of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh that are told today. I personally find it is a challenge to separate the two Croms as similar tales are now told about both of them. Though nobody really knows the origins and details of either, I approach Crom Cruach as being symbolic of being a bringer of harvests, and Crom Dubh as being a metaphor mythology of what happens to the harvested crops after gathering. Also, a simpler view could be, Crom Cruach being symbolic of the ending of summer, and Crom Dubh being symbolic of a veil bringing on Autumn, the Fall. Together I feel both Croms together serve wonderful imagery of the break up of summer, and our flow into Autumn through the Lunasa month of the Gregorian dated August. I will continue from where I left off last Sunday. I will focus strongly on the Magh Slecht stories from Co. Cavan, and stories from the Grange Circles of Lough Gur. I will flow from the transition of summer and the harvesting ... into autumn, fall and the storage and preserving for winter and the following spring survival. All of this through telling more tales of the folklores of the cultures of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh. This is perhaps the most niche of all folklore that I present on Nature Folklore as the folklore of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh still seems to be little known. Many stories that are shared and spread, by storytellers, about these Crom entities are quite ghastly in blood thirsty barbaric deeds. Sadly, the beautiful references to abundance and harvest during our Lunasa month seems to get buried. Though Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh is a Lughnasadh story, some people are saying to me "Isn't Lughnasadh all over now?" Indeed, No. This Croms story is not a one or two day event. In Ireland, since Medieval times, Lunasa is all of our modern August. Through ancient times this reverence and celebration of first harvest and all harvesting from the summer growing seemed to last longer, and still is. The harvest from time is mainly between Lughnasadh Cross Quarter time and Autumn Equinox, and so is the Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh story. What you may enjoy most is how this mythology, and how these related cultures grew, may serve you more thought, inspiration, and understanding about potential ancient use of stone circles. Also, for this Sunday, do you have any poems, stories, and experiences about and related to anything Lughnasadh, or about what you do and experience during August? What celebrations happened during your childhood that seem to have faded away today? What are you grateful for at this time? What modern local gatherings have you become connected with that include fragments of some of the lost old ways? I would love to invite you to share your stories and poems as a guest, either live, pre-recorded, or use photographs. Please message me with what you have to share. Thank you.
