A Fairies Garden. Joyful226

 
A Fairies Garden. Joyful226
The Irish have maintained a set of unique beliefs and superstitions that have lived on until the modern day. There is an abundance of stories and superstitions about the mischief of the fairies. In this creation I have made an Irish Fairy garden. The Irish term for the fairies is sídhe (shee); Irish legends suggest that there is an extraordinary diversity of charming and terrifying fairies frolicking in the countryside: The Coin That Came Back Some fairies were thought to be helpful, in their own mysterious ways. One story tells of a man who started feeling faint while in church. He walked outside to clear his head, and a gentleman approached to ask if he was all right. The man explained that he was feeling faint. The gentleman handed him a florin (a valuable coin) and told him to go have a whiskey at the local pub (Irish whiskey, of course, has amazing curative powers). The man thanked him and walked to the pub. He paid for his drink with the florin, took the change, and drank down the whiskey. In no time at all he was feeling better. The man went home thinking nothing of it. The next day he was going fishing, so he went to the store to buy some tobacco for his trip. When he reached into his pocket to get some money, he was surprised to find that the same florin was in his pocket. He paid with the florin, took the change, and walked away smoking, wondering what had happened. On the way home after fishing, he stopped by the bakery for some bread. He discovered that the same florin was in his pocket again. The man continued in this way for some time, paying for everything with the florin and always finding it back in his pocket. He was happy with his good fortune, but something about the strange coin never seemed right to him. One day he went into the pub where he'd bought the first glass of whiskey. He threw the florin down on the counter and yelled, “May the devil go with you!” He never saw the coin again. To the end of his days, he always said that it was a fairy man who had given it to him. There are so many more stories but thought this one was cute tons and tons of Irish superstitions so many one can't hardly name them all. So just thought I would tell a little Irish Fairy story. I hope you enjoyed it. I could go on and on and on about the good fairy's and how we got fairy's in the first place which is a strange story in and of itself but it seems like they must of all landed in Ireland. :) Since St. Patrick's Day is in March So lots of nice green and spring flowers. I have added some Daffodils for they are the flower of the month of March and there is an aquamarine in the door for the birthstone of the month. Hugs to all my friends. Connie
