*please forgive my backwoods Vermont pronunciation. I do not speak Gaelic and probably couldn’t even if I tried*

In honor of Saint Patricks day, I decided that delving into some ancient Irish folklore would be a great idea, especially with all the talk of Nephilim; Anunnaki; Djinn and of course portals, these days.

Now when one thinks of saint patricks day they may think. Of, pots of gold, four leaf clovers, corn beef and cabbage,  green beer and most importantly leprechauns. 

    These little shoe shining creatures have found their own place in popular culture. I know personally,  “the Leprechaun” was one of if not the first horror movie my father let me watch and the mysterious lore behind the magical cobbler led to movie after movie after movie, be it blood filled horror flick or happy-go-lucky family fun. But while the leprechaun may have taken their pots of gold all the way to the bright lights  of Hollywood, they left behind an incredibly in-depth and sprawling book of lore on the misty shores of eerie. But this lore involved so much more than four leaf clovers and rainbows. The “folklore” that forms the backbone of Irish history is filled with giants and monsters and epic battles worthy of game of thrones or Lord of the Rings. And while we may be more familiar with elves, fairies and of course leprechauns, there is also a super natural,  some

Might say paranormal, race of giants  with god-like abilities called the Tuatha De and later referred to as the Tuatha De Danann.
