• The Wooing of Étaín Aug 12, 2025

  

  In the time when the Tuatha Dé Danann still walked openly in Ireland, there lived among the fairy folk a woman of such extraordinary beauty that she was known throughout both the mortal and otherworld realms. Her name was Étaín, and her beauty was said to be so radiant that it could illuminate the darkest winter night and make the flowers bloom in the dead of winter.

  Étaín was the daughter of Ailill, a mortal king, but her beauty caught the attention of Midir the Proud, one of the greatest of the Tuatha Dé Danann who ruled from his sidhe mound at Brí Léith. Midir had taken many forms and loved many beings throughout the ages, but when he first saw Étaín walking in her father’s garden, he knew that she was destined to be his eternal bride.
