Study Room Guidelines
Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.
We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Thanks! And that's fascinating that you're your own poetry in that form!
http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/index.htm also has a good collection, I've found.

This web site is ok for Irish Myths and Legends; http://www.theemeraldisle.org/irish-myths-legends/
The following books are some of my sources. I found that Irish poetry is a good source of putting Irish history, myths and legends in context.
The Book of Irish Verse edited by John Montague.
The Celts by Jean Markale pp 105 - 152
