The Púca is a creature found in Celtic folklore. The Púca is described as a creature with black or white fur it also has the power to shapeshift into multiple creatures such as goats, dogs, cats, humans, and their favorite form horses. Púca are said to bring good or bad luck when you see it and the name “Púca“ means “spirit” in Irish. When the Púca shapeshifts into a person they will have animal traits like a tail or ears and whatever form the Púca takes it will always have bright illuminated golden eyes. The Púcaloves to scare and terrify people though it means them no harm and if a person hops on the back of a Púca it will take them for a crazy ride it is said that Brian Boru who was the High King of Ireland was the only one to tame and ride a Púca in it’s horse form by making a magic bridle with three hairs from the Púcas tail.

A-Z Godess and Female Myths: B - Banshee.

Banshee is a female spirit in Irish mythology who heralds the death of a family member, usually by wailing, shrieking, or keening.

some slightly out of context things I learned reading about irish myths this morning:

fionn mac cumhaill once saw a boy that was part-deer and instantly assumed it was his son

when in battle, cu chulainn suffered something called “warp spasms”, in which his limbs contorted, one eye protruded while the other receded into his head, blood apparently shot out of his face and he started screaming VERY loudly, and he could only be calmed down by being dunked in a vat of water three times

medb offered the king of ulster “the friendship of her upper thighs” in exchange for a big bull

fionn literally had knowledge of everything, but could only access it by sucking on his thumb like a baby

Apparently Scathach had a daughter and was ready to let seven-year-old cu chulainn bang her

↳ b a n s h e e s

a banshee is a ghostly woman whose high pitched screams prophesy the death of someone soon to come; these ghostly screams are almost always heard at night and are said to sound like a blend between a woman’s scream and a night creature’s wail; it is said that if you hear the wail of a banshee then someone close to you, will soon meet their end.

The Bean Sidhe

Commonly spelled the banshee, the Irish wailing woman. Not a sinister figure, or a cruel one. She is merely the first to mourn an untimely death. She is harmless, so long as one never steals her jagged tooth comb.
