The longest night and shortest day approaches, the 4 images are based on looking and seeing from An Forradh (the seat of judgement) on Tara Éire. In our indigenous language this time of the Eightfold Year is called An Geimhreadh, meaning winter.
An Geimhreadh, the Sun will rise at 08:41 on Sunday the 22nd of December at 131*SE to give us the shortest day of the Sun's passage. High Noon at 12:25 and Sunset is at 16:08. The day length is 7h:26m:25s.
Dagda at 00:25 on the 23/12/19 is due south. He dominates An Geimhreadh, the longest night. This image shows Dagda (aka Orion) in the middle of the night on the longest night based on looking and seeing from An Forradh (the seat of judgement) on Tara Éire.
Image below - From my current lecture - "Dagda's Return to the Realm of Land". A composite image showing Dagda rising in the east with his shield first (a special shield he was given by Manannan and later loans to Fionn), the middle section shows Dagda's Harp "Daur da Bláo" (described as '4 cornered, three stringed') and Dagda setting in the whest dipping the dead into "An Coire Ansic" his cauldron of reincarnation.
