In my folklore Eibhilín, I used two main legends in the Celtic tradition of fairies and Ciardha, meaning darkness. I used these two specific legends because of my interest in their fairy legends and my connection to the spiritual meaning of light versus dark. The fairy aspect of the story was an important detail to add to make it seem like the folklore tales they had long ago. They used fairies and other mythical creatures to explain stories of their culture, religion, politics and more.
