Grab Your Lucky Charms And Celebrate Leprechaun Appreciation Day With Us

Did you know that May 13th, not Saint Paddy’s Day is officially Leprechaun Appreciation Day? Given the Irish roots of the Saint Patrick’s celebration, the Leprechaun has been appropriated as a form of whimsical family-friendly mascot.

However far from being a comical character the origin of the Leprechaun lies in the deep and twisted roots of Celtic mythology. The myths tell of an inherently magical race of beings known as luchorpán came into being through the unthinkable fornications of a water sprite with a forest fairy.

It is this magical heritage that lends credence to the belief that they are in fact descendants of the goddess Danu, making them royal members of the Tuatha de Danann, the main deities of a pagan Emerald isle.

For reasons known only to themselves, Leprechauns choose to show themselves to humans as three-foot-tall wizened old men with long beards who can be found mending old shoes – though all the myths claim they wear red coats not the Americanised green.

Capturing one is said to force it to give you a wish or make it hand over its golden hoard… which as you know is hidden at the end of a rainbow.
