What Happens When You Meet an Irish Fairy on St. John's Eve ☘️

To see your world through fresh eyes is true magic indeed! Today, I share with you a Midsummer anecdote collected in County Limerick in the 19th century in which a group of girls have the chance to see for the first time the wonders and enchantment all around them. What might WE see if we chose to look through the ring of perspective and possibility?

And - here's a link to my earlier video about tending our natural fires of enthusiasm and passion at Midsummer:    • Kindle Your Midsummer Fire - Irish Style! ...  

My questions for you:
1. What would you love to see if you had the chance to look through Áine's ring?
2 Have you ever had an experience that completely changed your perspective and allowed you to see yourself and your life in a new way?

SOURCES and SAYINGS
Oíche Fhéile Eoin = St. John's Eve
