Aster's Pictures

Celtic (Irish) Was depicted as the goddess of love and fertility, later known as the fairy queen. Goddess related to the moon, crops, and farms or cattle. Aine is revered among Irish herbalists and healers and is said to be responsible for the body's life force. A woman of the Leanan Sidhe or Sweetheart of the Sidhen. Some said she was the daughter of Manannan, some said she was the Morrigan herself. Therewas a stone, Cathair Aine, belonging to her and if anyone sat on the stone, they would be in danger of loosing their wits, if they sat there 3 times they would lose them forever! Aine was very revengeful, and it was not a safe thing to offend her. Morrigan being such an old goddess that over the years she might have taken on other names!
