The Aisling is a dream or vision in which a poet meets a beautiful, magical woman, probably a woman of the Sidhe, symbolising #spring, the bounty and beauty of nature, and love. During the troubles of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Aisling developed into a patriotic poetic genre in #Irish language poetry, in which the fairy woman became a Goddess representing #Ireland’s sovereignty.#Celtic
