Hey dear Hive community, first of all I would like to wish you all a pleasant day and hope you are all doing well and you were able to have one or the other positive experience! In this post, I would like to talk write something about mythology and hope you can expand your knowledge.
Specifically, I would like to go into the Celtic mythology and some deities that are associated with the forges and in the Celtic mythology of Ireland, there are three brothers who are associated with the crafts, which are also known under the names Goibniu, Luchta as well as Credne and Goibniu have also been associated with the art of blacksmithing. Goibniu is considered a very diverse god and was also often associated with healing powers and in addition he was the keeper of a drink that could help to make immortal and with his magic water he even had the ability to heal wounds. As a blacksmith, he also created many weapons and in the area where he lived there were some copper mines and that of course made his work much easier and his weapons were considered extremely precise and often had miraculous abilities and he also created some weapons on behalf of gods and his brothers sometimes support him in his work. Among other things, he has produced weapons for the fighters of the goddess Dana and was also active for King Nuada who was known as the king of Tuatha and Goibniu is often depicted as an old man with a beard and his equivalent is Hephaestus from Greek mythology. I find it interesting that similar to the shamans who are also deeply associated with the blacksmiths, Goibniu is associated with healing properties and in the future I will perhaps write more about the connection of the art of blacksmithing and the shamanism. If you are even more interested in the blacksmiths and the history in general, I can recommend visiting this post from me here.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about mythology, I created these works of art with the help of artificial intelligence.
