„In #Irish #mythology, the #Otherworld islands, said to be #Manannán’s home, lie ‘beyond the ninth wave’. The ninth wave is said to be greater than any other wave before it, and is also known as the ‘Wave of Transformation’.
The Tuatha de Danann attempted to protect #Ireland from the attack of the invading Milesians by shrouding the land in fog and storms. They ordered the Milesians to go back beyond the ninth wave but the poet #Amergin countered the Danann magic, and breached the spell; supposedly, it was the ninth wave itself which broke through.
The Imramma is a sacred sea voyage in Irish mythology which takes the traveller beyond the ninth wave in search of the magical Otherworld and the Gods which inhabit it. In this way, we can see that the voyage is more a spiritual journey than a physical one, the wave of transformation perhaps bringing with it the wisdom and knowledge we all ultimately seek.“

#Manannán the Sea-God sent #Ferdia to steal princess #Tuag away from Tara. Ferdia disguised himself as a woman, and sang a sleeping spell over her, and thus managed to escape with her.
The #druid carried her to the mouth of the River Bann, and set her down on the sand whilst he went to get a boat in which to take her to Manannán’s land. Tuag was still sleeping. As the tide rose, a great wave washed over the Tonn and carried her out to sea, where she was sadly drowned.

The 'Féth Fíada', cloak of invisibility, was `capable of changing to every kind of colour, and when #Manannan was angry would make a thunderous sound when the cloak flapped`.

`One of the many #Eithnes was drowned in the stream of Bearramhain while she was pregnant by the #mythical King #Conchobhar mac Nessa. Their son Furbaidhe was cut from her womb and the river was called Inny (an Eithne in #Irish) after her. Another poem offers a slightly different story. It tells that Eithne, the wife of Conchobhar, was drowned by Lugaid, while expecting Furbaidhe, in a river which now bears her name.`

`The lovely #Tuag had caught the eye of the god of the sea, #Manannán Mac Lir. As his emissary his bard Fer Í disguised himself a woman and crept into the chambers of #Tuag, where the dwarf sang a lullaby so potent that she fell into a dreamless sleep. Continuing to sing to the girl, Fer Í hoisted her onto his shoulders and carried her away. Later, exhausted from carrying her strong body on his small shoulders, he set her down while he rested. Unfortunately, he chose his resting place poorly, for the waters of the Bann River rose and carried Tuag away, drowning her. She may be the goddess of the Bann River. Its estuary, Tuag Inber, bears her name.`
