• The Birth and Taboos of Conaire Mór Aug 14, 2025

  

  In the ancient annals of Ireland, few kings were as blessed at birth and as cursed by fate as Conaire Mór, whose story reveals the terrible burden that comes with divine kingship and the tragic consequences of breaking sacred taboos. His tale is one of supernatural birth, mystical kingship, and the inexorable working of destiny that even the greatest of kings cannot escape.

  The Divine Conception

  The story begins not with Conaire himself, but with his mother, Mess Búachalla, whose own birth was marked by wonder and mystery. She was the daughter of Étain and Cormac, king of Ulster, but her conception came about through the intervention of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the divine race that ruled Ireland before mortal men.
