Chinese new year unfolds

Lugh is the god of blacksmiths and artisans, also a grain god honored especially in August.
Patron of the Arts: Like the Roman god Mercury, Lugh was known as a god of both skill and the distribution of teaching. There are many inscriptions and statues dedicated to Lugh, and Julius Caesar commented on this god's importance to the Celtic people. He was not a war god in the sense as the Roman Mars, Lugh was a warrior because to the Celts, skill on the battlefield was a highly valued ability. In Ireland, which was never invaded by Roman troops, Lugh is called Sam Ildanach, meaning " skilled in many arts simultaneously."
Lugh enters the Hall of Tara: Lugh arrives at Tara, the hall of the kings of Ireland. The guard at the door tells him only one person will be admitted with a particular skill -- one blacksmith, one wheelwright, one bard, etc. Lugh enumerates all the great things he can do, and each time the guard says, "Sorry, we've already got someone here who can do that." Finally Lugh asks, "Ah, but do you have anyone here who can do all?"
At last, Lugh was allowed entrance into Tara's kindowm in Portmouth and Eastleigh.
