Boann the Celtic Irish Goddess of the Rivers


Boann the Celtic Irish Goddess of the Rivers-
Boann was the water goddess whose name given to the river Boyne. It was associated with its
Boann Celtic Irish Goddess of Rivers
source as the 'poetic cauldron of inspiration'. I thought I would explore another Celtic Irish
Goddess that hasn't been know quite as much as the other Goddess. I found this
Goddess Boann of the Rivers quite interesting and I hope You All my dears will 
find her tale as interesting too! I have found that there are many venison of the Goddess
Boann of the Rivers in Ireland. 
From my readings I've found that there are a variety of variations of the legend of the Goddess Boann.
Yet there is one element that remains always the same in her story. And that is the fact that she was
the wife of Nechtan, another God of water. Not to be mixed up with the Greek Sea Gods of water: Poseidon, Neptume, Amphitrite, Triton, Nereids and Thetis. Like herself, Boann was a Water Goddess
Poseidon Greek God of the Seas
of the Rivers and one of her myths concerns the water. According to the tale, there was a sacred well
(Sidhe Nechtan) that contained the source of knowledge. All were forbidden to approach this well,
with the exception of the God Nechtan which of course was Boann's husband and his servants. 
This meant his Goddess Boann too! She to was forbidden to be in this scared Well Too! Well
Boann being a Goddess ignored the waring probably because she was a goddess and felt she 
could go to any scared well she pleased and strode right up to the sacred well, thus violating 
the sanctity of the area. For this act, the Goddess Boann was punished, and the waters of the defiled 
 
Goddess Boann in Scared Well
Goddess Boann became a
Deity of the Rivers 
Now, in some versions, I found the Goddess was drowned; while in others she managed to outrun the
raging currents of the river. In either case, this water became the river
that was known henceforth as the
Boyne. And The Goddess Boann thereafter became the presiding deity of that river.
Another Myth of the Goddess Boann was that she bore Oenghus. And she and the leader
The Secret Child of Love
that was born 
of the Tuatha De Danaan, the Dagdha engaged in an illicit affair which resulted in the birth of the God of
Love. It was Said in the legend that since both the Goddess Boann and the Dagdha had wished
to keep the birth of the God of Love and their rendezvous a secret, they used their divine
powers to cause the nine month gestation period to last but a single day/so it would seem this way
for everyone at the time living in that ancient place. For the sun became frozen in the skies for those
nine months , never setting and never rising. Then on this magick day- Oenghus emerged into the world.
This being the child they bore.... It was said that a sacred spring was then fed as a well which nine hazel
Trees grew, dropping their magic nuts into the depths of the clear pool feeding five salmon who swam into
its crystal water. After these five salmon ate these inspiring hazel nuts it caused five streams to burst forth
from the well of knowledge in which is said to be the five senses, without which no wisdom can be acquired.




There are other Legends and Myths to this tale of the Goddess Boann the
Goddess Boann
Celtic Irish Goddess of the Rivers. As one I found of the Dadga, the Irish Zeus who desired the Beauty of the Goddess Boann and he sent her husband God Nechtan of Water on a very long erran, making it a nine
months which seems like one day. It seems like these gods like to stop time quite a bit in the Irish ancient times of Nine months odd - the why they make it thus toward the birth of a child/ as today nine months is the period of time you are pregnant to have a child of modern times.. Makes you think..Hummm. So back to 
or Tale... So this union of Aonghus Og, the God of love was born. He was called Og Because Goddess
Boann said.' Young is the son who was begotten at the break of Day and born betwixt it and evening'.
After doing this post on the Goddess Boann of the Rivers, I found that there were many tales of her Legend and life. And to write down all of them would be to much.. I decided to give you the best of her tales that I could and I hope thru these tales of this beautiful Goddess of Celtic Irish descant of the Rivers was as fun and interesting for you all as it was for myself. I find in doing these different Gods and Goddess, they have such amazing and different kinda lives far from what we would ever image. 
At any Rate I hope that I have brought you another interesting
story/legend/myth to you all my dear friends and followers
I love you all very much !!! 
the Magick Lady!

OLWEN Celtic Goddess of Flowers and Springtime

OLWEN GODDESS of FLOWERS and SPRINGTIME-
I thought I would take you all back the the Celtic times of the Great Goddesses
Olwen Celtic Goddess of
Flowers and Springtime
I love the time.. There were such good times it seems full of life and Happiness
although I know that with everything there is good there is trouble times too.
But it always seemed that in the times of the Goddesses of Earth it was a much happier
time than what is happening on our Earth today. So my dearest Friends and Follower
That is why I try to bring you all to happy times in history, whether it be the times
of the Dragons, Fairies, Magical Creatures or the Grand Gods and Goddesses
I hope that I can make a happy place for you all to come to, when your day at what
ever you may do. Where ever you may live all over the world that we can come together
here as one happy people in my magical land..
So today I am going to discover with you all the Celtic Goddess Olwen of Flowers & Spring.
She also symbolizes love and re-birth. As I went to research the Goddess Olwen of Flowers
Goddess Persephone in Spring
Hades Taking Persephone
and Springtime I can't stop and thing how much she in some ways reminds me of the Goddess Persephone
from the grown where she was just picking flowing for springs... And of course you all known the rest
of the story if note I have posted this Goddesses tale too. All you have to do is just look on my labels on the right side of my blog at the bottom side..
Olwen the Celtic Goddess of Flowers and Springtime. I found in here photos that she was either shown as a happy goddess with flowers all around her or in a red Celtic gown very beautiful but she seemed sad.. Her story goes.. That she is a Welsh Goddess of the Spring and Sunlight. She is depicted as a beautiful woman with very pale skin with yellow
OLWEN GODDESS Walking thru the forest in Spring
blonde hair in most cases. It usually is shown flowing behind her as she moves about. But there are also painting showing here with her beauty showing her with her
standing and looking quite sad. I couldn't tell you what they were trying to depite her thinking in those type of paintings.. Her name means white path and it is believed that she leaves a trail of white clover or trefoils as she passes in the awakening meadows of spring. Olwen's Magick causes all the flowers and trees to bloom as she walks by them.  Even thought she is mostly painted in the red dress she is also called the White Lady of the Day! I found this kinda odd being that I couldn't find any images of Olwen in a white
This show the story Olwen a daughter
of the Giants
dress, but that isn't the most important part of the post. In Welsh Legend, OLWEN was a Beautiful Maiden, the lover of CULHWCH and the daugther of the Giant, "YSPADDADEN'. Her father is fated to die if she ever marries, so when 'CULHWCH' comes to court her he insisted that 'CULHWCH' complete several seemingly impossible tasks before he world allow them to marry, and with the help of his cousin, ' King Arthur CULHWCH', succeeds and the Giant dies, allowing 'Olwen to marry her Suitor. The storey of Olwyn The
Welsh Goddess, a daughter of the King of the Giants, called Ysbadadden, who named her Olwyn which meant 'the golden wheel'. Kinda makes some see her as an opposing force to the Goddess Arianrhod of the Moon 'The silver Wheel', but not really in my own opinion. I found that Olwen the Welsh Goddess had a nickname and that was "Lady of the White Tracks'. Why she got this nickname is because of wherever she had walked the trefoil plants commonly were called shamrocks that would pop-up. This would indicate that she may have been a Triple Goddess unto
Olwen as Welsh Goddess in fairyland
on her horse for 1year and day before her
father came to her rescue but she still had a
link to the faery kingdom
Olwen In Fairyland
herself with several other association long her that have been long lost
over the decades. The hero of her tale was Culhwch the suitor of Olwen who went on a mythical journey to find her after her father, who knew he would die if their marriage took place, hid her. In this part of the myth she is the May Queen, a partner to the new sacrificial God who takes the  place of the old one. Olwen also had many adventures in fairyland after she was captured by hores riding with the faeries. She was rescued by her father after a year and a day of captivity. She is still May Queens and is often still linked to the faery kingdom.

I hope you all Enjoyed my post on-
Olwen the Welsh Celtic Goddess of flowers and Springtime
Yet as you read on there was a lot more to this goddess
and with that I hope this was a good read
I love you all my dear Friends and Followers always!

Where Do Fairies come from? How many different kinda Are they?

Where Do  Fairies come from? How many different kinda
Fairies are they Really?
Celtic Fairy
Celtic Fairy
Celtic Fairies may be seen as the clever, mischievous and capable of assisting or harassing human endeavour. And English human translate phenomena. They have dozens of language that they can understand, from Irish, Scottish, Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, cornish and Breton. More confusingly they also can understand ancient Celtic Myth Legend Saga and Folklore; Celtic concepts of all different kinds of fairies of that too. Many 
characters form depict diminutive or pygmy persons. These Celtic Fairies generally are often invisible or can become so at will often by donning a magic cap. They prefer to live underground, especially under hills,caves,burrows, mounds or heaps of stones...
Another common theme found among the Celtic Fae is described among the 
fairies race is of diminutive people who have been driven into hiding by the invading of human kind. Yes us HUMANS! The Celtic Fae came to as another 
race, or possibly spirits and were believed to live in an Otherworld that was variously described as existing 
underground, in hidden hills, and mostly ancient burial mounds. A less-common belief was 
that the fairies were actually humans; one folktale recounts how a woman had hidden some of her 
Celtic Fairy
children form God, and then looked for them in vain, because they had become the hidden people ,
the fairies. This is parallel to a more developed tale of the origin of the Scandinavian huldra Creature.
I found that in the very old Celtic fairy lore the sidhe fairylore are immortals living in the ancient barrows.
I thought to understand these Celtic fairies, we should first have a look where they first came from and 
from what I guess most fairies roots are. I found that in Celtic mythology and other Celtic 
traditions many cultures and civilization have started with the Celtic Fairy.
In the Celtic religion, there was Celtic deities in Gaul -France and Belgiun, Hispania -Spain and Britannia
 Britain during the Roman occupation of these regions or provinces. But the situation changed when Christianity spread to the west and north. These deities that were worshipped before the 
conversion to Christianity were reduced to the status of the fairies in Celtic mythology and Folklore. 
These earlier Celtic traditions of the fairies, the former Irish or even the Welsh deities were also not 
fairies in the usual sense. They looked very much like human in size and shape except they had 
special magick powers and they weened eternally young like elves; They had no wings
So were getting into another race of the magick that i love The Dananns or their Welsh 
counterparts were usually seen as a race of Fae people that couldn't die just as mortal can, but their lives could 
last hundreds or even thousands of years. Of course the human leaders in the Christian faith had
problems with this. thinking they were with the devil of sorts the elves and fairies. And of course
those stupid humans were crazy... if only I could have been back in those day. Well  thank god for 
time.. for those beliefs are no longer shared today. for the most part.  

The Solitary Fairy
There are many different kinda Solitary Fairies, such as the House-spirit and the Water-sheerie
which is the own brother to the English Jack-0'-Lantern; the Banshee in many
The Leshy or Leshovik keeper of
the Forest
different forms; concerning these presently; there is the brownie, the Dallahan, headless phantom- one used
The Phooka in his rabbit form
to stand in a Sligo street on dark nights till lately; the Black Dog, a form that can change change at will- the
Phooka, And on ships at the Sligo quays are haunted sometimes by this spirit, who announces his presence by a sound of the flinging of all 'the tin porringers in the world' down into the hold. He even follows them into the sea. The Phooka, Selkirk,Changeling and the Male woodland Sprite called The Leshy or Leshovik.
There is the Leanhaun Shee -fairy mistress, who seeks the love of mortals. If they refuse her she must be
Male Drow
their slave, if they consent her, they are hers and could only escape by finding another to take her place.
The fairy lives on their life, and they will waste away over time. Death is not escape for her.
She is the Gaelic muse, for she gives inspiration to those she persecutes. The Gaelic poets die young, for she is restless and will to let the remain long on earth -- this malignant phantom.
The Great distinction between the Solitary fairy and the Social fairy is, that the Solitary Fairy may
elect to ware an red, brown or grey instead of the customary green. He/She avoids large gatherings and
Male Brownie
prefers to be left by himself/herself, disdaining the unbridled gaiety of a Social Fairy or
Trooping Fairies. The Solitary Fairy is often associated with a specific household, place or
occupation, notably the a shoemaker brownies or leprechaun of Ireland.
It is said that many solitary fairies will appears ominous to mortals and are also very easily irritated
by humans too. None the less, these fairies are not indifferent to the human kind and is more likely to
interact with our lives then any of the other type of fairies. This being men, women or children.
Solitary fairies generally will give lavish gifts to mortals, but the consequences of
accepting these gifts may be not worth the gifts themselves. Faithful, but suspicious Christians at the ancient
times have also accused Solitary Fairies of being in the league with the devil himself, a perception not
widely shared by many. Mind included! It could be because of the type of fairies associated with the class
of the Solitary Fairies- here are a few more... banshee, baobhan sith, brownie, bwci, cadineag, 
caointeag, cluricaune, dooiney marrey, dooiney oie, dullahan, ellyll, fairy lover. Leannan sidhe fenodyree, glaistig, gruagach, leprechaun, piskie, pooka, phooka, pwca, siabraid, s'thich. 
These are yet just a few ofthe Solitary Fairies besides there are the divers monsters too --
the Augh-iska, the Water-horse, the Payshtha, the Lake-dragon and other such creatures like fairies or spirits.

Trooping Fairies
Trooping fairies, are those who live in groups; 
These fairies prefer green to all other colours yet in my research I did find that they do ware other
Trooping Fairies 
colors too and they range more widely in size than the other Fairies that I've done on this post. Some of these Troop fairies can be so tiny as to have a caps the size of a heather bell-while other troop fairies can get 
as large as an human to have intercourse/sex. Although they may have higher spirits than the Solitary fairy, they still may present more a threat to mortals/humans; especially in the Scottish Gaelic Sluagh! Take careful cause with them because they host the unforgiving dead!
But with all the scariness/I still think these Troop fairies are in themselves quite unique and are
important to all. These Fairies can be found in merry bans about the hawthorn trees, at feast and at
gilded fairy palaces too. They delight in company, while the solitary fairy avoid the large gathering, preferring to be left by themselves and would much rather be separated from one another. Fairies exist all over the world. In Ireland they are the 'Sidhe' a name retained from the ancient days. In a group they are the 'daione sidhe' or fairy people. Some say that they get their name from ' Aes Sidhe' --- folk of the 'Sidhe' meaning
Troop Fairies at their Fairyland
hilock meaning mound. from the large sidh/mounds that they all inhabit in Ireland. But others claim that the mounds that they live in got their name from the fairies themselves who habitation of them.One will really never know..? The troop fairy are found living in the bushes and & circles of stones that crop up all over
Ireland- the fairy raths. The fairy raths crop up in pastures all over Ireland and the farmers never plow over them for fear of disturbing the fairies who live there & it could bring bad luck upon themselves and their
families. These fairies are said to be very beautiful, with long yellow hair, and perfect delicate forms.
They love milk, honey and drink flowers nectar as their fairy wine.
The fairies can assume any form & can make horses out of straw. They have the power to affect human life,
especially unbaptized children. They love music, and often lure mortals into an eternal dance with their piping and singing. These Troop fairies love to dwell together in larger societies. The Tuatha de Danann is an
ancient race of fairies descended from the Celtic goddess Danu. They are said to be very wise and love
to learn. Legend says a battle ensued between the humans and the Tuatha de Danann  for dominion of Ireland.  Well you can guess who won... The humans ultimately did win the battle and the
Tuatha de Danann retreated into a hidden location only known to the Otherworld.
I hope you all Enjoyed my post on Fairies. I haven't done one In a while.
I try to make interesting Posts and stories for you all my dear friends and followers
I hope that this one will be a fun one for you all! 
I love you all very much!
