evermore-fashion:

Caer Ibormeith was the goddess of dreams and prophecy in Celtic mythology. She was also a daughter of Prince Ethal Anbuail of Sid Uamuin in Connacht. In Óengus’s(god of love) dream, which lasted over a year, Caer Ibormeith stood beside his bed though when he reached out for her, she would disappear. Every alternate Samhain she would turn to human form for one day, which began at sunset, and after that, she would revert back into being a swan, for another year until the following Samhain. Óengus went in search for this girl in his dreams at the lake of the Dragon’s Mouth and found 150 girls chained in pairs, Caer Ibormeith was among them. He was told he could marry her if he could identify her in her swan form. Óengus chose correctly and with that he turned himself into a swan and they flew away together. The pair sang beautiful music as they went, that put all listeners throughout Ireland to sleep for three days and nights.
