The Lore Lads

We often are confronted with legends and folktales that appear to us as otherworldly, but in many cases, the origins of these stories can be found in very real phenomena.

It's the week of St. Patrick's day and you know what that means...educational and entertaining content about Ireland, of course. We're talking the saint himself, the fae (or fair folk as you may know them), the otherworld, and some rather interesting suggestions regard the Irish and their history of "lands across the western sea".
