| So... you will sign a treaty with: Banshees. |
Banshees, banshee, banshee ("heavenly women"), in Irish mythology, are fairies into which the gods of the Tuatha Dé Danann transformed after the sons of Mil, the ancestors of the Irish, appeared in the territory of modern Ireland. These gods and goddesses were forced to retreat into the depths of the earth and live under hills in thickets, hide among swamps in enchanted forests, and among the clouds in magical skies. According to beliefs, banshees can take any form - clouds, shadows, bushes, girls, etc. To this day, many believe that their mournful cry, called the "Keening" and heard at night, invariably foreshadows an imminent human death. The author of "Demonology and Witchcraft," Sir Walter Scott, believed that a banshee is not so much a being with a form as a sinister, mortal wail that fills the nights of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands with horror. People imagine a banshee as a woman with long, loose, black hair, in loose robes, with tear-swollen eyes, or in the form of a repulsive and ugly old woman with tangled gray hair. The banshee fairy can also be a pale-skinned beauty in a long shroud, and sometimes appears as the image of an innocent maiden who died young - a relative of the family. The enchanted forest from Arthurian legend was inhabited by beautiful fairies. One of them, the La Belle Dame Sans Merci, a sorceress-tempter described by the poet J. Keats, was a banshee who lured mortal knights, instilling in them a reckless passion, and then left them, deprived of the will to live, to wander the hills "in gloomy solitude and without meaning."![]() |
