#rocktober #foxylady @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB In Irish mythology there are many superstitions regarding red haired women. Fishermen will not go to sea if they pass a red headed woman on the way to the boat.
These superstitions are called PISEOGS. #foxylady ( pic of book we have )

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Very interesting, especially since the rest of the world thinks of Ireland and it‘s red-heads. 7y
Cathythoughts @Riveted_Reader_Melissa There is an Irish read head convention held every year now. So I‘d say the old superstitions are long ago & far away. I‘m not sure what it means myself 7y
Cinfhen Cool! I love learning new things!!! 7y

More #mythology !!! I could post books for this prompt all day 😂 These are some of the books used for my thesis. It's all Irish mythology (and some law tracts). Some are mine but most belong to the university. If you want to get to know Irish mythology the tagged book by Jeffrey Gantz is a great place to start. Good translations and some helpfull notes and introductions.
