Aengus' Dream: Love & Myth in Newgrange, Ireland's Ancient Tomb (Wooing of Étain, Aislinge Óenguso)
The ancient Irish site of Newgrange is a neolithic tomb and a mythic womb. featuring at the heart of stories which have been told for thousands of years. These two stories of Newgrange, also called Brú na Bóinne, and its inhabitants, the Tuatha Dé Danann or old gods the Dagda, Boanne, Aengus, and Cáer, demonstrate the ancient Irish view of nature as cyclical, and offer us a glimpse at something more, in the times when we are closest to the mysterious Celtic Otherworld.
Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”
