Description

Lough Gur is conjectured to be the place of its unearthly transmutation from human to the sidhe state.
This was believed to happen to human children who were stolen by the Munster fairies.
According to legends, Aine may sometimes be seen combing her hair, only half her body appearing above the lake. On other occasions, she may be seen sitting on a mossy rock by the water, bathed in moonlight...
And at times of calmness and clear water, according to another legend, one may behold beneath Aine`s lake, lost and enchanted castle, belonging to her son Geróid, close to Garrod island.
Aine is known as one of "good people", a Fairy Goddess connected to this area, and is still revered by the peasantry.
Even today,at midsummer, rites are performed and offerings presented to Aine.
