May, 2014 - Leanan Sidhe - Stiletto

Leanan Sidhe

In Celtic/Irish mythology, the Leanan Sidhe is a fairy spirit who takes on mortal lovers, inspires them to the greatest heights of creativity, and slowly drives them mad and kills them in the process.  The brilliance of Irish poets, in particular, and their short lives, wild temperaments and bouts of madness, are frequently attributed to the Leanan Sidhe.  It is also sometimes supposed that Whiskey does these same things, and that a Leanan Sidhe may be sometimes used as a metaphor for whiskey.
