" Through the Mist "
40 x 60
Acrylic on canvas
Féth fíada (Irish: féth fíada, féth fiada, feth fiadha, fé fíada, faeth fiadha), in Irish mythology is a magic mist or veil which the Tuatha Dé Danann uses to enshroud themselves, rendering their presence invisible to human eyesight. Féth denotes this mist in particular, and fíada originally meant "knower", then came to mean "lord, master, possessor".
An example of usage occurs in the Altram Tige Dá Medar ("Fosterage of the House of Two Milk-Vessels"), where Manannán mac Lir makes an assignment to each member which Sidhe (fairy mound) they should dwell in, raising the feth fiada to conceal themselves from mortal men.
In the Lebor Gabála Érenn, one passage declares that the Tuatha Dé Danann came "without ships or barks, in clouds of fog [over the air, by their might of druidry]", but an ensuing passage soon after offers a rational explanation, that "..it was as a sea-expedition the Tuatha De Danann came to Ireland, and burnt their ships. It was owing to the fog of smoke that rose from them as they were burning that others have said that they came in a fog of smoke".[
The magic mist is also called by another name meaning Druidical Mist (Old Irish: ceo druidechta; Modern Irish: ceo draoidheachte and an example of its usage can be found in the Ulster Cycle tale Fled Bricrinn ("The Feast of Bricriu").
