Merrow - The Irish merpeople are called Merrow's. They can be distinguished by the red feather caps they wear to propel themselves; if stolen, they cannot return underwater. Their appearance is more fish than human, but that does not deter the women from falling in love with humans. And despite their unique beauty, fishermen avoid them because their presence, though kind in thought, is generally an omen of a storm.

Cu Chulainn, son of Lugh
In Ireland Lugh was the youthful victor over the demonic Balar “of the venomous eye.” He was the divine exemplar of sacral kingship, and his other common epithet, lámhfhada (“of the long arm”), perpetuates an old Indo-European metaphor for a great king extending his rule and sovereignty far afield.  His proper festival, called Lughnasadh (“Festival of Lugh”) in Ireland, was celebrated in August. Celtic Warriors, Dance Of Death, Great King, Beltane, Shape Art, Dark Ages
