I'm from Ireland and I can safely say that people don't literally believe in fairies anymore but I did meet country folk when I was young (1980's) who believed in fairies. Although people don't literally believe anymore they do very much follow some old customs relating to the fairies such as never disturbing a fairy fort or never cutting down a whitethorn bush. In 1999 civil engineers changes plans to build a moterway in Co. Clare in order to avoid the cutting down of a whitethorn "fairy" bush. All-in-all it is a respect for nature and for the unknown/not understood world that lies around us and beneath our feet everyday.

My grandmother saw the banshee from her window. She heard a wailing that drew her to the window where she saw a tiny lady with long grey and white hair. My grandmother said that the wailing sound didn't come from the banshee's mouth. The sound was produced by the banshee running her foot through her hair like a hairbrush. Her sister died that night. One thing this good man got wrong is that the banshee is never heard by the one who will die. The banshee also attacked/warned my grandfather late one night when he was leaving his job in a local quarry. He heard the sound of a strong wind as it passed him and ripped his trousers. Then it came back from behind him and ripped the other leg as it tossed him aside. He left quickly and was never the last person to leave ever again.... The richest local farmer has a fairie ring of trees in a perfect circle right in the most inconvenient part of his land. He's never touched it.... My friend, when I was young, couldn't understand why his family couldn't see the "sparkly Christmas tree lights dancing magnificently around the tree" he was looking at. His tractor crashed into that tree one week later killing him. Irish people don't play with the fae. We respect their areas, leave them alone and NEVER ask them for anything.

3:51 I just felt this so much. Had a dream (~2017) about green light taking me up and yellow light was there too moving up. I then flew through a pearly tunnel only to end up seeing bombs with flags on them hanging in the sky over a city. I lowered myself and roamed a bit. Then I had dreams about riding a horse and someone riding the white horse with me looking over the ocean on the edge of a cliff. A couple of war dreams later I was able to point out when and with who was the next war not 100% but precise enough to trip me out. I woke up with the words “there is going to be a war.” Later I theorized that it was going to be with Nazi, and a week later it happened. I also had a green fairy dream, Tinkerbell + Cinderella style. Puffy dress and all! When she fell a tunnel opened in the air behind where she was. We were outside.. 💚🧚🔥🙏

My dad has told this story since I was little, so I’m going to try and recite it the best I can. One night when my dad was about 8 or 9, he couldn’t sleep because it was storming. He went out of his room to spy on his sister who was playing with an Oujia Board with her friends. He doesn’t remember much about what it said, just that it was creepy. However, a few minutes or so after that, he goes to get water to go back to sleep, and hears this horrible, blood curdling crying coming from the window. He doesn’t like describing her, but says she was an old woman in a cloak outside their window crying and wailing. His sister and her friends didn’t see the old woman but they were so disturbed by her crying that they hid the board under her bed. For the next few weeks or so, the crying would happen without actually seeing the woman, until his Uncle got sick and died. Then he never heard it again. He doesn’t like talking about them, but says he thought he saw a banshee. His Grandfather was an immigrant from Ireland, but I’m not even sure that means anything. This is a story I’ve always found interesting, and even talking about Banshee’s creeps me out a little.

The definition that you give sounds like a Selkie. “Seal women” who can be found bathing by the sea shore. If a man steals her skin he can force her to marry him. If she ever gets her seal skin back she will leave him even if they have kids. This is thought to refer to Inuit women in their kayaks which were seal skin crafts & that they were blown off course from upper Canada to Greenland or similar places.

I first became fascinated with faeries when I was still a wee lad in grade school. There was this old book (possibly from the ancient 1960s) that had categories of faeries in it, with PICTURES!!! It was awesome. Then I played as a Hibernian in the MMO Dark Age of Camelot. Plenty of Irish lore there. Lately been doing research on faeries. Love how tolkien co-opted fae into high elves. The movie Legend was also a big deal for me. D&D adventures are also constantly using the lore to tell their stories. Just don't sit too long in those mushroom rings no mater how fragrent those Sidhe make them ok people!? My nan, who was from Georgia US, talked about fae coming to steal me away when I was kid....she really liked to scare the grand kids into eating our veggies.

I'm an Irish-American and have always loved all the faerie stories I've heard, and not only Irish ones. (They're quite similar in throughout Northern Europe all the way to Siberia.) We are said to have a strain of Irish Traveler in us. I like this very much, and I can read your Tarot and put together a love potion for you. 😉But my only actual fairy story is this: My mother believed until her dying day that when she was a little, little child, growing up on a hardscrabble farm in the hills and hollers of SE Iowa, she not only saw the little people but they would play with her. My grandma wasn't one for having kids underfoot, so off my mom would go to play in the woods. That isn't prairie land around around there, it's more like Missouri. And there she met the faerie folk. Can't vouch that it's true, but I like it. 😊

😂As part of the heritage that is construed as magic, there was a substance used by the Filid to determine truth in settling disputes, it was called a 'Druids Egg' (Glain Adder). A process used to make it was to collect Adder spunk during the spring mating season. So as not to get bitten, a method was to have placed a greased stump taller than the snake could reach in a mossy clearing and descend from a tree by rope,or sometimes, just hang from the rope and use a skin cloak to drag over the snakes as they gathered enmass to breed, and then escape through the trees with the cloak. This is the basis for what is known as 'Fairy Circles'. BTW Fayrie means 'People from the Island, like where the Tuatye came from and returned to, when they could no longer tolerate their misbehaved cousins, the Ionian Mylesians. Some stayed behind to bedevil the Milesians, but the rest took their snakes and went back to 'The Northern Island' (no St. Patty involved!').

A policeman in Ireland is called a Garda, up until 1990 a female Garda was a Ban Garda Irish for female Guard. So a banshee was a female shee, a shee or Saoi, Side, is the old Irish word for a “ sage” or scholar. So a banshee literally mean female sage or scholar. A wise woman . There is often more than a grain of truth in Irish folklore. There is written evidence that in ancient Ireland at funerals that professional “ wailers “ or criers attended funerals or to mourne the dead. If that “ wailer “ had foretold the death of perhaps a soldier going to battle then someone might say that she was a wise person. Hence a banshee .

The Cóiste Bodhar is pronounced 'Co-ish-teh bower'. High King Brian Bó-áirimhe (Brian Ború) had his personal Bean Sidhe (Banshee). who was reputed to have warned him of his imminent demise and said. to have visited him on the eve of the battle of Clontarf against the Scandinavians. May the road rise with you is a gross mistranslateion of 'Go n-éirí an bóthar leat' means simply may you path/road be successful. Yes, the verb 'éirí' does mean rise, but in conjunction with the prepositional pronoun 'leat' it takes on the meaning of 'to be successful.

@johnruge1218 6 ай бұрын

Of the things that rise, is your successful path. Like ' thank you' 'Go Raib Maith Agut'= 'Of the things that are Most Fair are You'.

Glad to see your explanation. It is a very common misunderstanding that needed correction. There is a fairly well known song, often sung by choirs, that runs "May the road rise to meet you..." But who wants to spend energy on going uphill? As you say, with the prepositional pronoun ' leat' the meaning changes from 'rise' to 'success'.

My mom always hated me and said that my german father was like me and that i was a boyish girl. She abandoned me in a covent at 5 years old. She was proud to be from Italian family and said that i had very suntanned skin like farmers. But when i met a dermatologist after her death at 105 years, he was stunned with my pale feature, my lot of freckles and my « celtic ancestry ». He thought that i was Irish. My long locks dark hair had purple highlights and my mom always said that i was fat and ugly: i trusted her until i saw a photo at 11, i was very slim, 4 feet nine and like very beautiful. But i trusted all my childhood that i was an ugly toad and hided my body. I am very old now but i never met my father and don’t know who i am. When my two young daughters were 5 old, we went to the irish parade and a lot of people said that my daughters were true Irish girls. My husband was illegal son of a german Wagner Conductor, very big and tall, blond with green eyes . He was adopted in maternity ward after his mom died and the parents tortured him for 12 years until the police send him in orphanage. We had no family. It was strange.

I hope someday you can do a genetic test like 23 And Me or Ancestry. I was called ugly by my dad when I was a kid and I believed him. I wasn’t ugly at all I learned later. However, I still feel ugly because the child in me can’t forget. My siblings and I are of Mexican heritage. However, there is also French in us (Cinco de Mayo). My sister said when she was little, her black hair sometimes shone blue. Butterflies have this, and so does hair. It’s called “constructive color” and has to do with the way the carbon atoms of the material (in this case, the butterfly wing scales or the scales on hair) form. In particular, when the material forms, it will bounce rays of light back in colors (such as red, blue, purple, etcetera). Sort of like how colorful bird feathers can be.

Anime and Manga Ancient Magus Bride borrows the most it seams from the Irish but also from what’s left in Britain and Wales plus Scottish, Germanic and Norse. A beautiful book and anime. And many things discussed here make an appearance The FAE are something else. And the story takes all aspects, beautiful, fantastic, gross and dangerous of the lore. A tale of Beauty and the Beast. And done proper the beast being beastly at the start. In no way does the tale present the couple coming together as ok or proper just a growing love between an centuries old being who is a small child in understanding humans and a very damaged juvenile girl yet more mature in many ways. Note age of consent in England 16. There is no actual sex or passion. The name of the fairy Queen and king are those Shakespeare picked but be sure she is unnamed fairy queen of folklore. One of the best stores I have seen. And from the Disney song that admits it just one version of the story this is a great addition to the story of girl and beast. The ancient Magus when in human form is a mix of FAE and Human and very wise in way of the FAE and magic but a child when it comes to dealing with humans. Note when claims her as bride at start the FAE soon after treat them as married. This fits a few tales I have read where only a FAE man’s declaration of marriage is required to make it a marriage. Don’t worry to much at the start he’s not into humans physically. Yet Titania declared when her husband asked should they bet if the marriage will last. Titania states better to bet on how many children they will have (inferring that decreed by fate ending)
