Finn Mac Cools Five Fingers
This Popular print from my Cavan Folklore Collection - The Hallow - sold out many moons ago.. However i had many request to purchase it, especially from People with a Castletara connection. So i now have a limited number of artist proofs available for christmas 2023..
be quick, its only whatever i have in stock
The following story comes printed on the piece:
Finn MacCool, was a mythical hunter-warrier of Irish mythology, occurring also in the mythologies of Scotland and the Isle of Man. The stories of Finn and his followers the Fianna, form the Fenian Cycle.
Many Geographical features in Ireland are attributed to Finn and the Story goes that the five finger stones on the top of The Shantemon Mountain, Castletara, Co Cavan are the fingers of the famous giant.
“Accounts of Finn’s death vary; according to the most popular, he is not dead at all, rather, he sleeps in a cave somewhere beneath Ireland, surrounded by the rest of the Fianna. One day they will awake and defend Ireland in the hour of her need”
So perhaps they really are Finn’s real fingers sticking up at the top of Shantemon!
