Where does Celtic folklore and Mythology come from? The answer lies in this tale...

After the last battle the Fianna of Ireland ever fought, a mysterious stranger appeared to Fionn mac Cumhail, leader of that legendary warrior poets of Erin and Alba.

She approached Ośin, who himself was born of the realm of faery, and asks for his hand in marriage, before transporting him on a magic horse across the waves to the land of 'Tir Na Nog', or the land of the everyone. One of the names for the Celtic Otherworld in Irish Mythology, similar perhaps to Annwn of Welsh Mythology or even the Avalon of Arthurian Myth.

This story of the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic folklore tells of how the son of Finn travelled back from the Otherworld and gave all the stories of the Fianna to Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, who wrote them all down for posterity.

Thanks Pat!
