Tir Nan Og (The Land of the Young)
Tir Nan Og is the land to which the Irish faeries know as Tuatha de Danann
(Too-ah day Thay-nan, or Tootha day danan) flead when their lands were
taken by the Milesians. In Tir Nan Og they spend their days feasting, gaming,
love-making and partaking of beautiful music. The faeries can even enjoy
the thril of battle, for anyone slain is resurected the following day.
It is the paradise that mortals can only dream of.
Faeries, also known as the little people, green men, good folk,
fayerye, fairye, fayre, faery, fairy, fatae (Latin), fee (French) and fay
(Anglican), are one of the most popularized fanciful races in mythology
and literature. They are featured in myths from the early Norse-men, Celts,
Romans as well as in Medieval French, English, Irish and Scottish tales.
In literature faeries have been written about by Chaucer and Shakesphere
and many others. But what are faeries, and do they have fairy tales? This
page attempts to unlock just a few of the mysteries surrounding the little
folk.

And ance it fell upon a day,
A cauld day and a snell
When we were frae the hunting come,
That frae my horse I fell;
The Queen o' Faeries she caught me,
In yon greeen hill to dwell.
And pleasant is the fairly land,
But, an eerie tale to tell,
Aye at the end of seven years
We pay a tiend to hell;
I am sae fair and fu' o' flesh
I'm fear'd it be mysel!
