(can we all tell my medication has been kicking in quite well lately with how productive I've been 
??)
ANYWAY SO I'm kicking off proper planning for my visual myth project. Per usual I'll note it'll be awhile before the first installation is fully complete - probably in the fall, since it's going to be a big undertaking. But! I wanted to create a thread to get feedback along the way, because there will be many steps.
A few thoughts I'm kicking around right now, which I would love your feedback on! Also, please feel free to tell me about absolutely anything you can think of that's occurred to you in your own reading and research within the lore - whether it's successes you've had, or roadblocks that you keep hitting which I might be able to try to find a way to ease.
I'm thinking I want to do Cath Maige Tuired first. Obviously, there's elements in the story that go back and forth in a kind of flashback form, so my plan in storyboarding this out is to take the liberty of rearranging these episodes in chronological order to make it easier for people to follow the thread of the story. I will aim to look at multiple versions when I create my storyboards.
In a similar vein, I'm wondering if it's worth combining a bit of the Book of Invasions and the First and Second Battles - this would take longer, but I could see this being a useful reference point because between these three stories, you get a really good sense of the major players in the Tuatha Dé Danann and what the major points in mythological history are. Thoughts, preferences? I will of course be adding a bibliography to the final project and making it explicit that I'm drawing from multiple myths.
Have at it, lots more to come soon for sure.
