04 In Irish folklore, Angus Mac Og was one of the ‘Tuatha de Danaan’ or fairy race, his home said to be the 6,000 year old neolithic mound at New Grange in Meath (Bruigh na Boinee). He was called Mac Og (‘Young Son’) and given power over time and a magic cloak of invisibility.

06 Fairies: the word derives from ‘Fays’ meaning the Fatae or Fates and are equivalent to the Irish Sidhe dwellers, bestowing gifts of prophecy and music and originate from the angels of the Fall. Fir Chlis/Leprachaun.

07 Mab: QU of Faery and may be associated with Maeve or the Welsh ‘mab’ for baby, since she is called the ‘fairies midwife’.

08 Tylwyth Teg (Welsh): The Fair Family (euphemistic name for the Fairies).

09 Irish: Leprechaun (Cluricaune): the fairie’s shoemaker.

10 A diminutive supernatural being of human shape, with magical powers.

11 Banshee (Irish Folklore): a woman of the Fairies.

12 The butterfly is the symbol associated with the Faery People (Celt) and the Ivy month (see ‘Astrology’).

Cheers for that Chesmayne and its good to see someone from Ireland visiting this topic. Ive been over there once and found it Deja vu(ish) but enjoyed it. There are some beautiful places in you neck of the woods and would recommend anyone to visit Ireland at least once. Ive read in the past about Fairy trees and rocks located in various places that are respected and sacred. Its also known as the home of the Lepracorn and there continue to be sightings even in this day and age.

Thanks for posting here, your always welcome.
