Journey through the ancient mists and discover the story of Ireland’s early settlers. One-eyed giants. A sling shot warrior that transforms into a sun god. Mortals who defeat a magical race. Meet the people of an origin myth that reveals Irish history and culture.

The Tuatha de Danann are said to be the magical race who’ve become known as Irish faeries. Find out about them in this week’s post.
