Bóann

Bóann was the wife of Elcmar, a Chieftain of the Tuatha Dé Danaan.

One day Elemar was dispatched on a long obscure errand by the All-Father, the Great God Dagda. Making nine months seem like one day, Dagba prolonged his absence while he seduced Bóann who then bore him Oengus.

He was called the Mac Og, the Young Son, for his mother saide "young is the son who was begotten at break of day and born between it and evening".

Bóann, the Goddess of the White Cow, became a cult figure of some importance among those late arrivals, the Celts, and was worshipped as a cow-goddess by them (the cow was a symbol of abundance).

Her cult centre was at Brú-na-Bóann, the great neolithic cemetery of tombs and tumuli in the Boyne Valley. Water from the Well of the White Cow, which is now known as St. Patrick's Well on the Hill of Tara, eventually leads into the River Boyne which is named after Bóann.

Jim Fitzpatrick

No man in Ireland has a sharper awareness of what we inherit from the ancient past than Jim Fitzpatrick. Not only is he an authority on Celtic Art, he also possesses a sense of the mystery that hides behind the material world.

He is the most eloquent Irish poet ever to wield a paintbrush. He is a highly individualistic, self-taught Dublin born artist, whose style owes much to his Celtic forebears and has achieved worldwide recognition as one of Ireland's most exciting and original interpreters of Celtic mythology and other related themes.
