  • With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner we thought we would talk about some Irish Fairy Tales, or more specifically the fairies that live inside the fairy tales. Just a fair warning though, these fairies aren’t quite as happy and helpful as our beloved Tooth Fairy or Tinkerbell. In fact, some of these fairies are downright scary and have got us thinking that we might just need to start celebrating Halloween on St. Patrick’s Day instead. So let’s sit down and go through some Irish Fairy Tales.

    The banshee calls for those to die.
    The dullahan comes for them.
    The two often travel together, according to lore.

      Also of note, leaving an offering of crop makes them also harvest spirits. As in what people once called gods of agriculture, and some want sacrifice.

      🤣 ... I'm American (but of Irish ancestry & spirituality).... It frustrates me to no end how folks mispronounce "Celtic" (re: the sports team) & how they completely butcher the sacred holy-day: "Samhainn"! 😥 ~ But, honestly, we can probably thank the English for most of the destruction of the Gaelic language.

      The Irish words for horse are Each (poetic and historic and pron. Akh) and Capall (more common modern usage). It's not really a ghost/apparition , the Irish for which is generally 'Taibhse' (pron. Tivesheh). Púca can be a kind of hobgoblin. It may be the origin of Shakespeare's Puck.

    It's come to the point where I've clicked on these videos just to see how bad the pronunciation is butchered.
    jjjj
    1. Púca: Grand, but I'd say the plural would be Púcaí or Phúcaí
    1.5. The Horseshoe is the wrong way around, it's supposed to catch/collect luck, not pour it out.
    2. Dullahan: Where I see a lot of Americans go wrong is inflection, i.e., stressing the wrong syllables, also putting in fadas wherever, which is plain incorrect. The narrator here seems to say "Dúllahán", ratherk than Dullahan, which. I would either pronounce trochaicly, or the same way one would pronounce Mulligan (DUL-lahan)
    3. Banshee, grand. First syllable stressed as it should be
    4. Changeling, doesn't count I guess.
    5. Grogoch. And once again, putting fadas where they oughtn't be. 0/10
