(78,947 posts)I loved the Blessed Mother and the female saints when I was young.
I am still a Mary person, I pray to her all the time.
Yes I find it interesting how much of the pagan beliefs turned into church dogma.
And how women got canceled out. Mary's only claim to fame was birthing a male god child.
And even that birth wasn't her doing, an angel handled it.
I also got a dose of Irish pagan mythology when I was young from my Irish grandmother.
All the folklore about the little people, leprechauns, rainbows, pots of gold. And how to deal with them if I got
a glimpse of them. I was fully prepared.
Some years back there was a family reunion and a huge rainbow appeared.
Every single person at the reunion was 100% certain our beloved, deceased aunt
who was a nun, had come to visit us personally.
So a family where Catholic and Irish mythology are combined.
