I KNOW! I realize that was always my “gateway rage” for this story too, but it somehow got lost in the retelling.
I think I may have discovered, at least in my version of their relationship, she would have been mortified to have her name remembered in that way because she hadn’t really found a sense of herself in motherhood (but she would have if her life hadn’t been cut short). Something to ponder at any rate.
Oh, this story pulled at my heart strings and resonated deep in my guts. The feeling of exhaustion is incredibly close at hand for me, these days. In the podcast, I loved the question you posed 'What makes a god or a goddess'; and I feel the humanity of Tailtiu (in your telling) invites opportunities for relatable reflection. I am so, so looking forward to the Lughnasa retreat later this week!
What really gets on my dingy dang nerves is how she dies and still doesn't get the holiday named after her! The nerve... 😜
