Myths Legends Science

March 15, 2004: NASA-funded researchers have discovered the most distant object orbiting the sun. It's a mysterious planet-like body three times farther from Earth than Pluto.
The object, called Sedna for the Inuit goddess of the ocean, is 13 billion kilometers (8 billion miles) away, in the farthest reaches of the solar system.

"...The name of the "new"planet is also a surprise. Sedna is an Inuit sea-goddess which makes naming the tenth planet after her triply remarkable: 1) she's Inuit, not Graeco-Roman -- thus, New World, not Old; 2) she's female -- like Venus and Earth -- all the others are male; 3) she's a child-goddess -- all the others are adults...

Sedna was an abused child in an Inuit village. Her father wished to marry her off but she was a strong-willed child, did not understand why she should be given as property to another, and refused to obey. After repeated refusals, her furious father decided her life was forfeit. He ordered her into his small fishing boat and rowed out into the cold Arctic ocean. There he shoved her overboard. When the terrified child struggled and fought to grab hold of the edge of the boat, her father took out a sharp knife and sliced off her fingertips. Screaming, she flailed about and again clutched frantically at the boat. Her father hacked off another joint from each finger. With the remaining stumps, the desperate child made one last effort to hold on even as her father was chopping off the last vestiges of her fingers. Only then did she abandon hope and sink into the icy seas.

Miraculously, her broken fingers turned into seals, walruses and whales. These sea-creatures, recognizing her as their mother, bore her safely to the bottom of the sea. The journey transformed her. This abused Inuit child, disempowered by a father who considered her his property, survived to become the powerful goddess of the Arctic sea and mother of the precious animals who were formed out of her agony. She whose ten fingers were hacked away by a selfish father-figure, has now been named our tenth planet. The "rightness" of this is astonishing..."

Lyrics to
Mnà Na Heireann (Women Of Ireland) :

Ta bean in Eirinn a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-o
'S ta beann in Erinn is sa binne leithe mo rafla ceoil no seinm thead
Ata bean in Eirinn is niorbh fhearr le beo
Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha ! gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod

Ta bean in Eirinn a bheadh ag ead, liom mur bhfaighinn ach pog
0 bihean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala, is mo dhaimh fein leo
Ta bean ab fhearr lom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go de
Is ta cailin speiruil ag fear gan bhearla, dubghranna croin

Ta bean a dearfaidh da siulainn leithe go bhfaighinn an t-or
Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr a mein no na tainte bo
Le bean a bhuairfeadh baile an mhaoir agus clar thin eoghaln
Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol

The Women Of Ireland

There's a woman in Erin who'd give me shelter and my fill of ale;
There's a woman in Ireland who'd prefer my strains to strings being played;
There's a woman in Eirinn and nothing would please her more
Than to see me burning or in a grave lying cold.

There's a woman in Eirinn who'd be mad with envy if I was kissed
By another on fair-day, they have strange ways, but I love them all;
There are women I'll always adore, battalions of women and more
And there's this sensuous beauty and she shackled to an ugly boar.

There's a woman who promised if I'd wander with her I'd find some gold
A woman in night dress with a loveliness worth more than the woman
Who vexed Ballymoyer and the plain of Tyrone;
And the only cure for my pain I'm sure is the ale-house down the road.
