Serenity Sunday



The people known as "The Sidhe" (pronounced Shee) or people of the mounds were descended from the "Tuatha de Danann who settled in Ireland millennia ago.

Down through the ages the Sidhe have been in contact with mortals giving protection, healing and even teaching some of their skills to mortals - Smithcraft or the working of metals being one such skill.  The Gaelic word  "Sidhe" refers to these otherworldly beings now called fairies.

The Irish fairy is not like the diminutive fairies of other European countries, the Sidhe are described as tall and handsome in all accounts, also they are dressed very richly and accounts of their halls are of richly decorated places with sumptuous foods and drinks.
