Tuatha Dé Danann
‘Twas once upon the clouds of Irish skies,
when little ones did come to keep us free,
with magic armor, fairies were so wise;
such are known to us as people of the si.
Now Fionn was a warrior O so strong
and used his wisdom sacred from the fish.
The fairies knew the power in a song
and magic so well known to the Irish.
The one eyed giant fell into the sea
and beauty was restored to all the land
and now the fairies reign and fly so free
as Fionn saved us with his magic hand.
So sleep my child and know by morning light,
the magic fairies watch you through the night.
The fairies are known in Irish as the people of the sí (pronounced she).
Irish history is rich with myths and legends. The adventures of the famous seer-warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill are still known to many Irish people. These include how he gained his wisdom as a boy by tasting the 'salmon of knowledge', how he triumphed over miscellaneous giants and magicians, and how he had the truths of life explained to him in a strange allegorical house. The champion Lugh, originally a god of the Continental Celts, is also remembered - especially how he slew his tyrant grandfather who had a horrific eye which destroyed all on which it gazed. The Salmon of Wisdom or Salmon of Knowledge ( bradán feasa ) is a creature figuring in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. It appears in The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn , which recounts the early adventures of Fionn mac Cumhaill. According to the story, it was an ordinary salmon that ate the nine hazel nuts that fell into the Well of Wisdom (aka Tobar Segais ) from nine hazel trees that surrounded the fountain. In doing so, the salmon gained all the knowledge in the world. Moreover, the first person to eat of its flesh would, in turn, gain this knowledge.
