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.

The Irish tell of Otherworlds across the Sunset Sea, in the uttermost West: Mag Mell, the Plain of Joy, Tír nan nÓg, the Land of the Young, the country of eternal youth, where there is no ageing, nor weariness; nor sadness, nor sickness nor death!🤗💚🧙‍♀️🧚‍♂️

In the #otherwordly kingdom of Manannán Mac Lir live blue and crimson horses, gold and silver birds sing in trees with shining leaves. On this Apple Isle there are houses of white bronze, set with jewels and crystals and thatched with white feathers.

Despite King #Arthur`s gifts and good nature, all was not to be well in Camelot. The beautiful Lancelot and queen Guinevere fell in love, and Lancelot exiled himself rather than betray his king. Finally their love grew too strong to resist. Although they kept it secret, the land knew the truth: The crops failed for seven years while Arthur attempted to discover the cause. At the same time, his estranged son Mordred—born of a secret liaison with his own sister #Morgause—began to war against Arthur. In the chaos of battle, Arthur was mortally wounded. He did not die, however. Casting Excalibur into a lake, he was borne across its waters to the #otherwordly Avalon by mysterious women, thus becoming the “once and future king.”

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney: The Ail na Míreann on the #HillOfUisneach, described as `the naval of Ireland`, shows on its broken surface the map of #Ireland. It is almost 6m tall and thought to weigh over 30 tons. It is also said that the #Otherworld can be accessed from it.
