`The #fairy queen #Fand, “tear,” came to the warrior poet #CúChulainn, in a vision in which she whipped him senseless. The greatest of #Irish heroes fell into a lovesick stupor in which he lingered for a year. When the year had passed and the great feast of #Samhain came, he went into the Otherworld for Fand, leaving behind his loyal wife #Emer. Although Emer had endured #CúChulainn‘s other affairs, she could not bear to lose him to #Fairyland, so she followed him. When she saw how deeply Fand loved him, and he her, Emer offered to step aside. Fand, not to be outdone, offered the same and returned to her own husband, Manannán Mac Lir, who wrapped her in his magical cloak to make her forget the human hero. On earth, #CúChulainn and #Emer drank a potion of forgetfulness and returned to their earlier state.`

The mighty #Irish warrior #CúChulainn fell in love with #Fand, but her husband #Manannan retrieved her by placing his cloak of invisibility between Fand and CúChulainn, thus magically erasing their memory of each other.`
William Shakespeare in his creation of Titania drew inspiration from the folkloric figure of #fairy queens like Fand.`

On Mag Mell, the “plain of honey”, the trees were always loaded down with magical fruit and vats of mead could never be emptied. The ruler of this #otherwordly place, Labhraidh Luathlam ar Cleb (Labriad), arranged for the hero #CúChulainn to spend time with Labhraidh’s wife’s sister, the lovely #fairy queen #Fand. In return for this dalliance, Cúchulainn had to fight and defeat three warriors who were troubling Labhraidh.
