What History Is This?
I have never heard of crom being a sun god, in fact isn't the complete opposite? Form my minor research "the twisted maggot" was a dark god and lord of the worms (not a solar animal) who's job it was to recycle the negative energy by ingesting it in much the same way as a worm breaks up the soil, that’s why people were sacrificed to him because they were usually 'evil'(full of negativity) so where all this stuff about him being a sun god and a fertility god is a bit well wrong. I suggest the author reads the Slaine comics who at least in this case are genaraly right and have got the jist of it unlike the author of this article.
