    This is a great overview of a bizarre event from the War of Independence in Tipperary that involved a clockwork statue, thousands of pilgrims and an IRA man calling upon the Virgin Mary to settle for nothing less than a Republic.https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/the-templemore-miracles-how-a-fake-bleeding-statue-led-to-an-ira-truce-1.4328392 …

        Likely the only moment in the history of Marian apparitions that featured Mary, mother of Jesus, proclaiming her support for armed strugglehttps://twitter.com/MauriceJCasey/status/1247818199242092546?s=20 …

        A group of IRA men met with James Walsh, the Templemore man having the Marian apparitions, in a Dublin pub. According to Dan Breen's witness statement, Commandant Dinny Lacey said: "The next time he meets the Blessed Virgin, be sure to insist on nothing less than a Republic" pic.twitter.com/S9rjZ2B0vH

        The Templemore miracles were part of a wider supernatural history. Benjamin Ragan, a PhD researcher, is working on a fascinating project exploring belief in the supernatural during the War of Independence. You can read more about his work here:https://www.researchgate.net/project/Supernatural-Remembrance-and-Practices-of-the-Irish-Revolution …

        Here's another supernatural event from the era: in 1921, Charlotte Despard, feminist and socialist, heard a voice in her Battersea chapel telling her to return to Ireland and join the national struggle. She duly returned and became a major figure in left republican networks.

        Later, in 1926, a communist gathering was held in the garden of the home jointly occupied by Despard and Maud Gonne with a curious mystical component: a palm reader named "Madame Marossa"https://twitter.com/MauriceJCasey/status/1114217972560814080?s=20 …

        I cited this flyer promoting a 1926 Dublin leftist gathering in a chapter I’m writing at the moment. What a day out it must have been: jazz, palm reading, revolution. pic.twitter.com/ZUrpWv0Ugx

        Palm reading for communists in the late-1920s must have been a pretty cushy gig, to be honest. If there was one thing that united palm readers and proletarian revolutionaries, it was confidence in their reading of the future.

        Didn't Roddy Doyle use this in A Star Called Henry? I remember thinking, oh come on now Roddy, that's laying it on a bit thick now.

        Colum Toibin's book Seeing is Believing is great on all this and I love the idea of Eamonn McCann, a pack of Hell's Angels and Our Lady hanging out at Ballinspittle. I do want to know if Our Lady was a stater though.
