oylmpians:moodboard: caer ibormeith↦ Caer Ibormeith is the celtic goddess of dreams and prophecy. Caer Ibormeith was a daughter of Prince Ethal Anbuail of Sid Uamuin in Connacht. In Óengus’s dream, which lasted over a year, Caer Ibormeith stood beside his bed though when he reached out for her, she would disappear. Every alternate Samhain she would turn to human form for one celtic day, which begins at sunset, and after that, she would revert into being a swan, in which form she would remain for a year before becoming human again the following Samhain. Óengus went in search for this girl in his dreams at the lake of the Dragon’s Mouth and found 150 girls chained in pairs, his girl Caer Ibormeith, among them. Óengus was told he could marry Caer if he could identify her in her swan form, he chose correctly and with that Óengus turned himself into a swan and they flew away together, the pair sung beautiful music as they went, that put all listeners throughout Ireland asleep for three days and nights. -- source link
