And now I'm really, really curious as to what the heck that myth is that he and the "sargart of Annan" are referring to, and where it can be found. Clearly I need to just trawl through the Mary Jones Celtic Lit collective online.

Well, what do you know. I found something.

I've posted all relevant links over in the Celtic and Kemetic thread here. The short answer is: if what I've uncovered is the myth he was referring to, he needs to take a closer look at both the text and his assumptions about the Irish gods, and their "oath" to the Irish people.

... And clearly I've been taking this guy (and the guy in the other thread) far more seriously than they deserve. Sorry guys.

No, you've been taking the problem those guys pose as seriously as the corpus of Irish lore and culture (ancient, modern, or reconstructed) deserve.  And that's worth doing.
