circa 450 AD
THE Goddess MÓR
Mór (pronounced More) was an important goddess of the Corcu Duibne. The people of the province of Munster, the southern part of Ireland, also worshipped her. Folklore connects a number of sites on the peninsula to her, like Tig Mhóire (meaning the House of Mór) in Dunquin (Dún Chaoin), an early archaeological site. She appears to have been a sun goddess, but, as Christianity took hold, the saga literature of the 8th and 9th centuries made her a witch-like figure.>
