Special Closeout LARGE gallery-wrapped canvas – $99.99 Buy it here ThomasDodd.com/Store “Maeve, the goddess, is the intoxicating power of passion…the passion we feel in love, desire, sex, as well as in anger and battle. Perhaps there really is a thin line between love and hate, sex and violence. If we lose control of that passion and are not mindful of our intent, honorable in our actions, and are motivated by greed, power, control…we can easily cross that line. Keep your heart open to desire, but handle passion always with wisdom. “ / (text by Sharon Niman)

When someone mentions a ghost, most of us think of cemeteries, haunted houses, and human-sized transparent figures draped in sheets. / Likewise, the word “faerie” is usually linked with cute little figures with wings, magick, bright colours and merry mischief. However, mention a Banshee, and people squirm. / The Banshee, like a ghost, can represent death to many people, but that is not her actual role in folklore, or in our lives. The Banshee from the Irish bean sí, or bean sidhe (“woman of the síde” or “woman of the fairy mounds”) is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. / According to legend, one Banshee guards each Milesian Irish family; these are the families whose names start with O’ or Mac, though those prefixes have often been dropped, particularly by American families. / Nonetheless, there is a Banshee for each branch of these families, and the family Banshee can follow the descendants to America, Australia, or wherever the Irish family travels or emigrates. / Her moarnful cry can be heard anywhere. / The Banshee protects the family as best she can, perhaps as a forerunner of the “Guardian Angel” in Christian traditions. However, the time we are most aware of her is before a tragedy that she cannot prevent. Meaning, that traditionally, the Banshee appears shortly before a death in “her” family. Despite her grim reputation, seeing or hearing a Banshee is not what actually causes the death. / The Banshee herself is traditionally a very kind woman, as poet and historian W. B. Yeats commented, “You will with the banshee chat, and will find her good at heart.” / Perhaps her appearance and wailing before a death are efforts to protect her family from a death or other tragedy that she foresees. Here I have depicted her in her guise as the young woman she once was, tho her eyes are red from centuries of weeping and she still cries black tears. / Behind her perched majestically on the clifftop, the ruined medieval Castle of Dunluce sits still, once home to the great irish families. / Forever loyal she guards the ruins, weeping at the loss of the great families. / / “There were originally five towers; there are now only two remaining: “Macuilin’s Tower” on the east side, which contains the remains of a staircase, and a smaller tower seawards called Mave Roe’s Tower; so called after Mave Roe, supposed by some to have been a relative of the MacQuillins, and by others, their banshee, or fairy spirit, whose wail, they say, is still heard above the winter’s storm, and who keeps the apartment scrupulously clean, expecting the return of the former owners.” – From Sketches of Olden Days in Northern Ireland by Rev. Hugh Forde some interesting reading- / Banshees / Irish faeries / celtic magick / wikipedia – banshee / Legend of the Banshee / Dunluce Castle / thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment… / please have a look at my other artwork… / hope you enjoy! :) /

This is the Yamaha Banshee we used to have for a while…my boys rode it mostly…I would just hop on the back for a ride…but I did learn how to drive it myself eventually and OMG…talk about power…and I never even opened it up all the way…this thing is one powerful machine…my youngest son actually flipped it wheely style with it landing on top of him…it wasn’t on purpose though…he came out with some minor scratches on his back…it did scare me though…always afraid they would get hurt on it…oh and I can’t count the many times the cops would just sit and hide waiting for them to get it out and ride on the street…after a few tickets…they had to take it out to open fields where it was ok to ride…I was actually on the back once when the cops saw us…we hauled it home and into the garage like you wouldn’t believe…the neighbors would always call the cops…we weren’t in the city…so technically we weren’t breaking any laws…Banshee’s are just so loud…but oh so much fun…this is edited with Photomatix.

The term banshee is an anglicization of the Irish bean sídhe or bean sí, or the Scots Gaelic bean shìth, – both meaning “woman of the fairy mounds” or “woman of peace”. Both names are derived from the Old Irish ben sídhe: bean: “woman”, and sídhe: “of the mounds” / In Irish legend, a banshee wails around a house if someone in the house is about to die. There are particular families who are believed to have banshees attached to them, and whose cries herald the death of a member of that family. Traditionally, when a citizen of an Irish village died, a woman would sing a lament (in Irish: caoineadh, [ˈkiːnʲə] or [ˈkiːnʲuː], “caoin” meaning “to weep, to wail”) at their funeral. These women singers are sometimes referred to as “keeners” and the best keeners would be in much demand. Legend has it that, for five great Gaelic families: the O’Gradys, the O’Neills, the O’Briens, the O’Connors, and the Kavanaghs, the lament would be sung by a fairy woman; having foresight, she would sing the lament when a family member died, even if the person had died far away and news of their death had not yet come, so that the wailing of the banshee was the first warning the household had of the death.

©)Seth F.Weaver,Sr. 08/23/07. A Compullage™. The banshee every year of the comet likes to steal Merlin’s cloak and get aboard her ghost horse and race the comet across the midnight sky. Screaming as she goes, so no one left below can rest.. It’s a good thing it only happens every 160 years. So when you go out at night and hear what sounds like an eery wind …It’s just the banshee racing the comet across the sky. At least she’s up there and not down here. Thanks for looking. Seth
