Tir Na Nog A Unique Irish Legend Powerpoint by Sarah Moje via www. Bright. Hub. Education. Com

What Is Tir Na Nog? • A legendary place in Irish folklore, Tir Na Nog is a mythical Irish land, not of this earth. • It’s name translates to Land of the Ever Young. • In Tir Na n. Og the trees are constantly in bloom as if it is late spring or summer. The leaves never fall or die. • The flowers are in constant bloom as well, and you can smell the scent of them miles away. • Humans from Ireland who are able to visit Tir Na Nog will only discover young, beautiful people living there. • The residents are not humans, but fairies.

Life In Tir Na Nog • Five days in the land of Tir Na Nog equal three years in Ireland. • Time did not stand still there, but moved extremely slowly. • For entertainment the fairies played tin whistles or golden harps. • They also tell stories and myths of Ireland to the fairy children.

The Land of the Ever Young • In Tir Na n. Og people don’t live forever, but they do age very, very slowly. • In most legends, it is a wonderful place to live, as long as you don’t leave it. • Once you leave this land return to Ireland, you will immediately become the age you were supposed to be; usually a very old person

The Dark Side of Tir Na Nog • In some darker Irish legends the people of Tir Na n. Og managed to maintain their youth by sucking the youth, fun and vigor out of children in Ireland. • However, that is not a common theme in the legend. • The residents of Tir Na n. Og were fairies but were not pixies or changelings. • They could only reside in Tir Na n. Og. If they left for any length of time, they would die a mortal death.
