Goodness I had no idea that the translation of Crom Cruach’s name was so gruesome! Also I didn’t know that the snake in The Secret of Kells was supposed to be him as well—I like this interpretation. It makes him seem a lot more primal and animalistic, plus it reminds me of the giant serpent found widespread across Indo-European myths.
