Ireland Fairies Questions
Anyone know anything about fairies/fairy wraths?
Today i was watching Ghost Hunters and they were in Ireland. There fairies are seen as more evil creatures, anyway they were talking about things called Fairy Wraths. Apparently it’s bad to build a house in the way of one. Does anyone have an idea what a fairy wrath is?
Thanks.
Let me just tell you, i DO NOT believe in anything like faires etc. I was just curious about these wraths as i don’t have a clue what they are supposed to be.
i know they don’t exist,if that helps?
Ghosts and Gouls of Ireland – the Puca
The Pooka is the Anglicisation of the Old Gaelic word Puca, it refers to the most feared and respected fairy in Celtic folklore. According to legend, the Puca can metamorphose into a wide variety of shapes, it may appear as a horse, rabbit, goat, dog or goblin. However, it most commonly assumes the shape of a dark horse with yellow eyes, it roams the countryside at night smashing down fences and gates, terrifying and scattering livestock. Certain agricultural traditions surround the Puca, at the end of harvesting, a small deformed goblin shows up in search of a small share of the crops, if he is not placated he will wreak havoc, so the croppers leave behind a small amount of the crop which has become known as the Puca’s share to satisfy the ravenous goblin. Only one man ever managed to tame a puca – Brian Boru, when high King of Ireland, managed to ride a puca until it surrendered to his will. He forced the puca to make two promises – firstly that he would no longer torment Christians and secondly that he would no longer attack Irishmen except those who were drunk are were roaming with evil intent. The puca agreed but has the centuries rolled by it forgot it’s bargain and returned to it’s old ways. However, in some areas the Puca is spoke about with quite an amount of deference and is treated with more respect than fear. It is stated that if the Puca is treated with respect they can actually turn out to be beneficial rather than malevolent.
