:) Greetings to all,
After my first visit to the Pacific Ocean (actually first visit to any ocean) I was inspired to create an altar to Manannan Mac Lir. Now I am on a quest to find out as much information about him as possible. Right now I am reading "Celtic Myth and Legend" by Charles Squire. If anyone has any suggestions on reading material, reputable web sites or just want to share information please let me know. Thank you for your time.
Blessed Be

Try the "Encyclopaedia of Celtic Myth and Legend" by John & Caitlin Matthews:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Encyclopaedia-Celtic-Myth-Legend-Definitive/dp/1592283020/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271669357&sr=1-1

Also look at this bibliography from the Isle of Man

Most dear is fire to the sons of men,
most sweet the sight of the sun;
good is health if one can but keep it,
and to live a life without shame. (Havamal 68)
