| Tengu (天狗, "heavenly dogs") are a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theatre, and literature. They are one of the best known yōkai (monster-spirits) and are sometimes worshipped as Shinto kami (revered spirits or gods). Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon (Tiangou), the tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics. | Shee is the exact pronunciation of sidhe. In a number of later English language texts, the word sídhe was used for both the mounds and the people of the mounds. However, this is a modern phenomenon, and sidhe in older texts refers specifically to "the palaces, courts, halls or residences" of "the ghostly beings which according to Gaedhelic mythology inhabited them" (O'Curry, E., Lectures on Manuscript Materials, Dublin 1861, p504, quoted by Evans-Wentz 1966, p291). |
| Mirth, reverence, honour, humility, strength, beauty, power and compassion. All these things we should be. Blessed Be. | I often find it difficult to keep track of time. |
