dark hill’s door cracks
spills haunting
fairy
song
A Samhain Sept, for Jane.

That was fun. Of course I had to go review some good Irish tales. 🙂

I’ve been reading a book of Irish folk and fairy tales. One that stood out to me was “Country-Under-Wave.” Also “The Coming of Finn,” in which he kills the enchanter who burns Tara every Samhain.

One of the things I like about the Irish myths is that the lines between mortal and fairy are so blurred. Like the line between myth and history. I don’t think even the Greeks would claim that Zeus really existed, but all the characters in the Irish stories were real. Or sort of 🙂

Very sweet. It feels like the beginning of a fairy tale … or maybe something scarier?

In these Irish tales I’ve been reading, the fairies are on the dark and wild side of things. I’m not really into scary, but dark is ok. 😉
