Miscellaneous Myths: The Book Of Invasions

The quintessential Irish mythological text, and… it's about getting steamrolled by invaders. Now that's what I call brand consistency!

    Don't forget the MAJOR glow up Christendom had after with the plague. Thanks to the dark ages, Christianity was able to spread quickly and efficiently. It was one of the biggest unifying forces of the time. That is why the church was so powerful. Unfortunately, power brings power hungry men, which is why a group of people preaching that we shouldn't hate each other and just chill until the world ends started to light people on fire.

    Well the difference is that the Aztecs were violently subjugated and converted in a short span of time; whereas Scandinavia had it slowly spread through trade, eventually being instated as the state religion for political reasons among other things. It is entirely possible that a lot of works were destroyed after this point, but seeing how much of a slow burn it was, it would be odd for NONE of it to survive. So while I can't say for certain, I do think it was as simple as the Norse religion being an oral tradition.

    @@theposhdinosaur7276 Mostly we know the kinds of things that were written down using runes so it is not at all odd that these myths wouldn't be written down. Runes were mostly used to document trade on wooden sticks or to glorify some person in rune stones. They were never really used to write down entire stories like this as they were probably just preserved orally. This can also be seen in how runes are designed, they're made for being carved into rocks or wood. And like imagine trying to carve out even a single one of the Norse myths in stone, let alone all of them, it's just not practically feasible. Like the Jelling stones are probably some of the most text heavy rune stones and even they only contain a brief description of what happened. It's very likely that the entire concept of books and writing on paper was introduced along with Christianity so that's why only Christian monks thought to write down these stories.

    Fun fact, the reason Nuada had a silver arm was because of Dian Cécht the god of medicine. He crafted the silver arm, but his son and daughter, Miach the god of surgery and Airmid the goddess of healing and herbs worked together to craft a whole new arm just like the one he lost but better. Dian Cécht was so pissed that they were better than him that he killed Miach in a fit of jealousy. Airmid went to his grave later and her tears watered the ground so that 365 varieties of healing herbs sprung from his grave. One for each of his sinews and joints. She collected them on her cloak and they then whispered each of their properties to Airmid. Her father came upon her with the herbs and he got all pissy again and scattered them to the wind. To this day Airmid is the only one with the knowledge of all of these herbs and how to use them all the achieve immortality.

    @ it's not happened with Christians alone, it happened when a culture adopted a new religion for example Java in indonesia, while Java clearly had their own creation myth, it completely lost when hinduism came, and the origin of Java change with a new myth which Hindus gods move mahameru to Java island in order to stabilize it and now they still call the mountain semeru which quite ridiculous as mahameru still exist in India, and when Java became islamized the myth changing again, now all the javanese Hindu gods are just decendants of Adam, another ridiculous story as later the myth will tell the creation of javanese peoples by the gods Some myths even change when a new culture swept and incorporated to a specific culture like Japan for instance, while Japan still retain shintoism, their myths clearly had altered with Chinese influence, so yeah it happened all the time

    Definitely feel you about the Christianisation erasure of native myths! Slavic mythology is also very weird to conclude or even prove some deities existed. I'm from Serbia and our Christianity is basically Slavic (and older) paganism with makeup, but it's still hard to conclude where one begins and the other ends. Really frustrating!

    Yeah! It's interesting that many folk tales where St. Sava is the central figure are most likely older, pre-christian tales, just polished up a bit, but with Sava dealing out divine punishment. Ireland often reminds me of us, with the molding of paganism and christian tradition. And hey, we got books and a shiny alphabet and learned scholars who helped us not go extinct! Isn't that neat

    well, that's quite a good way to extend a religion if you ak me. Christianity didn't extend violently until the 15th century as befora it was all done by predication. Incorporating marks from the religion of that place was a good method to make people don't feel guilty for embracing a new religion in which they are interested. Example: in ancient Rome in the 4th century the Sun was the main divinity, but the poor and women especially were fond for christianity so they incorporated the Sol Invistus hollydays as Christmas and equiparated Jesus to the Sun. In Northen Europe, quite the same but making reunion houses into churches

    I mean, I think one of reason Christianity spread so quickly was because of the way they often incorporated local religious practices into Christianity. People could continue to essential practice their religion, but now it was in service to the Christian God and Christian elements were incorporated into already existing practices (except some practices that were obvious no-nos to Christians). They were like "no, no, keep doing what you're doing, but did you know that all along it was GOD that was behind all this. Funny coincidence huh? Have a Bible."

    Irish is a very interesting language, because the issue with Fomoire applies to basically every word that contains two vowels next to each other, and or a letter combination containing an h. Basically the language got boned hard by multiple languages in such rapid succession that everybody basically chose different ways of submitting, so now the pronunciation is just all over the place. With the tiny amount of the pronunciation I've learned, I'd pronounce that "Fomiruh" more or less. That's one of many options.

We Tagalogs even have a complete pantheon almost as numerous as the Greeks. But they aren't taught at schools because Christianity. Even a popular myth of ours, the sky and the sea fighting caused by a bird with the sky throwing rocks to form islands, were actually depaganized myths. The sky, the sea, and bird were gods whose named was censored to not contradict Christianity.

    One of my favorite things about mythology is finding minor pieces of esoterica that the fiction of my youth decided to just nick without ever really explaining. Nuada Airgetlam? That second word is what Christopher Paolini, and author of the Eragon series (which is fantasy Star Wars) uses as his Elvish term for dragon riders, who, in that universe, get magic glowey hands for being Chosen Ones. In Paolini's elvish language "argetlam" means "silver palm" -- which is precisely what the term means in this archaic Irish dialect!! That's even more fascinating than how Paulini's elves are basically Japanese thanks to his secret weeabooness!!

    Fun fact about Norse mythology: It's apparently more complicated than just the fact that it was "christianised". The Norse were generally not war-like from the start, but instead was more agriculturally focused and had gods that appeared to be fertility-based as their main ones (Ull, Frej/Freja, Thor). This changed at about 500 AD, where archeologists have found images of Odin and his chaps from. From what I understand, there are theories that the invasion of the Huns had something to do with it, with Norse becoming mercenaries more commonly (or Norse mercenaries being forced to their homelands) and therefore changing the pantheon to become more war-like, together with the general culture. For any Swedes, I got my info from Försvunnen Värld by Maja Hagerman. Sadly I don't have an English source. (Corrections: 200-300 AD, and it wasn't the Huns. I got a couple of chapters mixed up.)
