... mell) and in Irish as an element of Singmall = powerful thunderbolt (or extraordinary). Erainn/Erann was the deity that wielded the weapon of the thunderbolt (Bolg). Builg' is a common place name element in Ireland, while in Britain Bel' has the same role - e.g . the Bel and the Dragon, a pub name with interesting roots. The fourth group of Celtic immigrants O'Rahilly defines are the Laginians who included the tribal group of Domnain, of SW Britain and coastal stretches of Scotland and Ireland.

... the bottom of a well. On emerging from the forest, the two Eireks came upon a strait, separating them from a beautiful land, which was unmistakably Paradise; and the Danish Eirek, intent on displaying his Scriptural knowledge, pronounced the strait to be the river Pison. This was crossed by a stone bridge, guarded by a dragon. The Danish Eirek, deterred by the prospect of an encounter with this monster, refused to advance, and even endeavored to persuade his friend to give up the attempt to enter Paradise as hopeless, after that they had come within sight of the favored land. But the Norseman deliberately walked, sword in hand, into the maw ...
84. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The Entwined Serpents As stated above, one aspect of Thornhill's postulate that fits well with the mytho-historical record is that magnetic fields tend to twist Birkeland currents into ropes', making the structure appear like entwined snakes. This is important because, among other things, the cosmic pillar was often described as having the form of a serpent or celestial dragon [108]. As already noted, Talbott, keeping to his theory that the axis was actually a stream of debris raining down on Earth from the Saturnian configuration (Saturn itself or Mars), recognised the fact that the cosmic mountain in many creation epics is presented as a churning, serpentine column rising along the world axis . ...

... by the iron in his crook. Was not Ida this same magnetic mountain? If this is the Ida that stood in Ilium it has glorious tale in store, for to me Ilium can but be the Trojan Helicon, and this makes Ida the rotating magnet. THE SERPENT MOUNTAIN. I believe it was Euripides who said the serpent or dragon which Apollo slew with a thousand arrows almost emptying his quiver, covered so great a part of a mountain, and the myth affirms that this Pythian monster coiled around Mount Parnassus with nine folds. The serpent coiled mountain would be inexplicable were it not for its canopy solvent; which deposes that every vapor belt, band or lineal feature ...

... a great destroyer, felling both sides in wars indiscriminately and is consequently often referred to as blind. Samson was also a blind berserker and the Norse Hoder, Oedipus and Bellerophon. Nergal, Indra and Thor of the red beard all shake heaven in their fury. The actual combat myth is universal, with a hero defeating a monster or dragon in myth all round the world. Examples from Polynesia and the north coast of America agree in so many strange details that it can hardly be just coincidence. Basically a monster threatens heaven and is killed by the hero, usually by his entering the belly of the monster and inexplicably, for most explanations of myth, emerging bald, ...
... , though themselves personifications of the satellite and its streamers of wreckage, now fight against the `beast and its army'. This is a parallel to the Michael-Satan motif of the fourteenth myth, and to the many myths of mankind of the MardukTiamat type, in which a hero of light and order attacks-and, of course, invariably defeats-a dragon of night and chaos. And so the `beast' is utterly vanquished and its `army' scattered. With the complete disintegration of the satellite the distorted earth begins to return to its spherical form, which causes much magma (the great Tertiary basalt, etc., flows) to be squeezed out. The reporters of the ...

... an elaborate consecration ritual on an auspicious full moon day is fixed and only after the vivification ritual does the painter complete the eyes in swift sure strokes." [150] Thankas are not normally signed since the "act of creation is considered to be divine with the artist simply serving as a mortal instrument." China "Draw the dragons, dot the eyes." - a Chinese proverb. Every June, in my home town of Vancouver, Canada, there is a Dragon Boat Festival. Originally a 2,000-plus year-old Chinese tradition, the "Duan Wu Festival" involves the racing of long narrow open boats that hold about twenty paddlers, a helmsman, and ...
