In this insightful episode, Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the fascinating myth of the Leannán Sidhe, the "Fairy Lover" of Irish mythology. Jon explores the stories of these mysterious beings who form romantic relationships with humans. 

From the tragic tales of Leannán Sidhe inspiring artistic greatness at the cost of life, to famous legends like Niamh and Oisín, this video uncovers the truth behind these fae lovers and the dangerous allure of such otherworldly relationships.

Discover the different versions of these stories, from the darker predatory nature of the Leannán Sidhe to tales of deep connections between the Sidhe and humans. Jon also clarifies the sources of these myths, such as Lady Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and older folklore, providing a comprehensive look at these compelling figures of Irish lore.
