Gaelic Fire

Actress. Dancer. Artist. Made up of Gaelic fire and Elven glitter. Always dreaming. A lot of the photos you see here are my own. I like to discover the magic in the world. It is there if you know how to look. Some of the photos belong to others, but I find them inspirational. Is ait an mac an saol.

The bean nighe (Scottish Gaelic for “washer woman”), is a Scottish fairy, seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld.  As the “Washer at the Ford” she wanders near deserted streams where she washes the blood from the grave-clothes of those who are about to die. It is said that bean nighe are the spirits of women who died giving birth and are doomed to do this work until the day their lives would have normally ended.

A bean nighe is described in some tales as having one nostril, one big protruding tooth, webbed feet and long-hanging breasts, and to be dressed in green. If one is careful enough when approaching, three questions may be answered by the Bean Nighe, but only after three questions have been answered first. A mortal who is bold enough to sneak up to her while she is washing and suck her breast can claim to be her foster child. The mortal can then gain a wish from her. If a mortal passing by asks politely, she will tell the names of the chosen that are going to die.

Oh dear Gandalf. I'm literally in love with Thorin in the movies, played by Richard Armitage. I have been thinking about him all day and my attraction to him won't go away. WHAT?!?! He is a dwarf! I don't like them! I love my manly men like Boromir...or artsy elves like Legolas.

I am so confused.

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
