Fogged Memories Begun

Mystery Number One: The Mist Of Manannan 

In Britain and in Ireland the unique set of atmospheric conditions give us fog or mist so it is only natural that the Celts would consider this mist that always surrounded them to be a great way to communicate with the great mysteries of the world.

In mythologies mists are described as the places where the gods would hide, the barrier between this world and the Otherworld and also a way to get to and from the Otherworld.

The mist is named for the God of the Sea Manannan. In the mythologies when people from the Otherworld come to this world they come with the mist, the Druids are then called upon to see where this mist is coming from, to interpret what it means and to communicate with the beings who had come with it. So it could be a form of divination.

“And so, perhaps, the truth winds somewhere between the road to Glastonbury, Isle of the Priests, and the road to Avalon, lost forever in the mists of the Summer Sea.”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon
