The Nerdy Druid Been Up for Eleven Months
Today marks eleven months that my blog has been up. I'm really excited to have had this blog up as long as I have. I do have some future plans for this blog but I'm still figuring things out and then it will happen.

Irish Gods: Conand
Got this from Wikipedia.
In Irish mythology Conand (a.k.a. Conann and Conaing[1]) was a leader of the Fomorians who lived in a tower on Tory Island. He oppressed the followers of Nemed, demanding a huge tribute of their produce and children. Eventually Nemed's people rose up and killed him, destroying his tower. After his death, Morc, another Fomorian massacred Nemed's surviving followers.

Irish Gods: Abgatiacus
Got this from Wikipedia.
In classical Celtic polytheism, Abgatiacus was a theonym referring to a Gallo-Roman deity. The theonym is known only from a single inscription found with a representation of the god discovered at Noviomagus Trevirorum, now Neumagen-Dhron in Germany.[1] The god bearing the name was assimilated to Mercury and is depicted in the company of Rosmerta.[1] He holds the caduceus in his hand and at his feet is a rooster.[1] The inscription in which the theonym appears reads as follows: IN HONOR(EM) D(OMVS) D(IVINAE) MERCVR(IO) ABGATIAC(O) ROSMERTAE AEDEM QVI FILIVS

Celtic Holiday: Samhain
This month will be Samhain, the last Sabbath of the light half of the year. Samhain is the last of the three harvest festivals and a time that we honor the dead that have passed during the year. It's also the Sabbath that gains the most attention. More people get interested in Wicca during Samhain then any other time of the year. It's also the sabbath that gets the attention of the church and you have tons of videos about how your not supposed to celebrate Samhain.
The veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest and the dead can come through. I do hope that you will all have a blessed Samhain and I'll try and post a photo up on Halloween.
