Coucou everyone!

From faeries to selkies, Ireland is not one to shy away from the more mystical beliefs. The Irish believe The Cure is a sacred honor to have and in the responsibility to share and help heal the inflicted. The Cure can come in several forms; from a learned ritual, an acquired power, or a passed down familial privilege. The end is the same - to cure. For the mini, Cat tells us about he origins of the iconic Aran sweater. So pour yourself a pint, and let the healing in Ireland commence - don’t forget, Guinness is good for you!
