Irish Myths and Legends

11411912259zJM3U The literary tradition and folklore related to the iconography of Ireland is one of the noblest figures and characters that qualify the unmistakable fairytale.

Elves, leprechauns, elves, fairies, goblins ... there is something for everyone and always mentioned in a limbo of the border between the legend and the reality to which the Irish people of all generations are linked and influenced a lot.

Rarely, an Irishman, however, there will talk willingly and never will directly referring to the characters of a story but use of the turns of phrase of which the most common are the "Happy People" or "good people". The Irish still believe deep down and in fact do everything to not disturb "others" and let the fairy conduct their lives in that world of magical fantasy parellel.

There are countless testimonies of Irish people who swear to have seen an elf or to have witnessed some of his amazing joke. And you? And 'ever?

    Well .. I am now six months that I live in ireland ... I knew the legend but No ... but we thought a lot since I came here I realized that at the end of the Irish people is in itself as well as fairytale landscapes ... the children of the elderly seem immortal ... and the amount of alcohol consumed can well understand from where they started the visions of elves, goblins and fairies ...
