Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: Lough Erne has two origin stories (here’s the link to the first: https://hear-me.social/@NeuKelte/114552148881782730) The second story concerns Érne, who was ‘chieftainess of the girls of Cruachan and keeper of [Queen] Medb's combs and caskets’. It seems that a warrior named Olc Ai came from the #Otherworld via the cave of Oweynaghat to seek revenge after Amorgen the Blackhaired slept with the fairy-woman Findchoem. He didn’t come to do battle with Amorgen, though, oh no. Instead, he took his fury out on the innocent women of Cruachan. It is said that Olc Ai shook his great beard at the girls and gnashed his teeth so fearfully, that Érne and her women were driven insane with terror and fled. They did not slow down upon reaching the lake, but waded in, desperate to escape their tormentor, and so were all drowned.
