CLÍODHNA
Irish Beauty Goddess
Also known as Cleena, Clídna, Clionadh
Queen of the Banshees who was unlucky in love
This beautiful Goddess fell in love with a handsome mortal, Ciabhan of the Curling Locks. But she was thwarted by Manannán mac Lir, who lulled her to sleep with a lilting melody when she was on the seashore of The Land of Promise waiting for her love.
Unfortunately the Land of Promise was a hollow mockery as she never saw her lover again. Manannán mac Lir sent a wave to scoop her away to the watery nether regions where she now resides amidst much foaming and tempestuous behavior.
She has a wave named after her but we don’t think surfers would be allowed to use it for health and safety reasons.
