Happy St. Patrick’s Day — enjoy some of the amazing work of Jim Fitzpatrick @jimfitzpatrick who’s been crafting these detailed and trippy depictions of Celtic legends (and the occasional Christian saint) since the late ‘60s. Consider all of these “detail” shots, and our apologies to the artist for the square cropping. This is: Nuada the High King Nuada and the God of the Otherworld Nuada the Sun God Lugh Faces the Evil Eye Emer, Wife of Cú Chulainn Eriu and McGreine Gods and Fighting Men Coming of the Tuatha Senach the Spectre St. Patrick Banishes the Serpents .

Were the Tuatha Dé Danann gods, aliens, or both? The legends suggest that humanity has always looked to the sky for answers. But their deeper gift is not proof of origin—it’s wisdom: to live in balance, protect the earth, and honor the mysteries that make us whole. The Druids and Tuatha continue to remind us that the sacred lies in both the stars and the soil beneath our feet.

In this video, we explore the myth of Selkies, popular in the traditions of the Orkney and Shetland Islands. These fascinating creatures dwell in the cold waters of the ocean and transform into beautiful humans when they shed their seal skins. We’ll discuss how these mysterious beings have influenced Celtic legends and folklore, and the longing for the sea that drives them to leave behind human loves and families.

White Stag, an image from Arthurian legend, oil on canvas, 12 inches by 18 inches, 2010. SOLD. Invitation to the quest symbolized traditionally by the arrival of the White Stag. Arthurian legend states that the creature has a perennial ability to evade capture; and that the pursuit of the animal represents mankind’s spiritual quest.   It also signaled that the time was at hand for the knights of the kingdom to pursue a quest and that whoever hunted down a white stag could kiss the loveliest girl in Arthur’s court. The white stag is a familiar creature of myth and legend. Its origins are likely to originate in the totemic period of early Indo-European society, particularly the northern societies of the Celts and pre-Indo-European cultures, whose subsistence was gained not only through agriculture, but through hunting. This dependence on deer may be seen in the zoomorphic Celtic god Cernunnos, depicted as being a man with the antlers of a deer. #rogerwilliamsonart #initiationjourney #arthurianlegend #symbolicart #celticlegends #spiritualquest #bloodline #oilpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CM9vBm_nHS2/?igshid=1hrm9gn2hkpvw
