Princess/Queen Caer Ibormeith was the daughter of Ethal
Anubail, a fairy king of Connacht. She often assumed the form of a swan and
spent most of her time on Loch (lake) Dragon's Mouth with her swan friends. She
is pictured here riding on the back of her love, Aengus MacOg, who also became a
swan so he could be with her. When they are both in swan form, they sing the
sweetest lullabies ever heard in Ireland, songs that muse
and charm the locals into calm and blissful sleep. For this, she is remembered
as the Dream Fairy. Read more about Caer Ibormeith on
the story card that comes with this beautiful photographic portrait.
