Fuamnach

Fuamnach , in the Celtic Mythology Irish, is the legitimate wife of Midir, the sovereign god of the Other World (see article Sidh) Tuatha Dé Danann. Goddess, it is however not sovereign, but it is a expert magician, her father being the Druide Bresal Etarlam.

Midir decides to renconter the goddess Étain, which one praised the beauty to him (according to certain versions, it is in repair of a wound of Oengus, which he would have claimed the most beautiful girl of Ireland). It falls in love from there at once and in fact its mistress, which causes an extreme jealousy at Fuamnach. It will continue the intruder making use of the most powerful magic spells of its magic, but she does not have the capacity to kill her. She transforms it into water pond in concerning with a branch of sorb, then in fly which a wind druidic carries in the airs during seven years. She becomes a tiny ground worm and fall into a cut. In this form, it is swallowed then “been confined” by the wife of the king of Ulster, Etar. Thus it can reappear. Fuamnach cannot reconquer Midir which, wearied these adventures, makes it assassinate.
