Macha
Irish · deity · mythic prehistoric · deity
The most consequential of the three for the corpus's existing records and the record does not say so, for want of a citation: the curse of Macha is why the men of Ulster lie helpless through the Táin and why Cú Chulainn — whom the corpus holds — has to fight the whole war alone. That is a BLOCKED census row and one of the strongest ADD-adjacent findings of this lane: the corpus holds the consequence and not the cause, again. Emain Macha, the Ulster capital that is named after her, is a place and not ingested.
