Anyone know resources on research on Crom Cruach?
« on: December 09, 2016, 12:00:10 pm »
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I figured someone here might know a thing.

I've read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crom_Cruach and such but that's sort of thin.

Well, I found an archive-forum thread for you. It's pretty thin too, though.

I also looked in Jones's Celtic Encyclopedia, and found nothing, which is interesting in itself, though without knowing why there's nothing there, isn't very useful.

I did a fair amount of research a while back (for the same reason!) and didn't come up with more than what's on the wiki page.

Also if you liked this film, you should watch song of the sea it's lovely

I'd never heard of Crom Cruach till I saw this post, but this is what I uncovered by googling. You may already have read this article yourself: http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/did-st-patrick-end-pagan-human-sacrifice-in-ancient-ireland

The book about Magh Slecht written by the historian, Oliver Brady, who is mentioned in the article, is also available as a pdf to download. The link is at the end of the article. (http://www.templeport.ie/magh-slecht-dara-fort/plain-of-blood.pdf)

Hope this helps. :)

Never seen the film. I was also researching Crom a few years ago and pretty much all I found has already been mentioned. The rest is UPG.
