The Healing Goddess- Airmid


Airmid
Airmid and her brothers helped build the Well of Slaine, also called the Well of Health. The well became known as the Heapstown Cairn, and it was so named after the second Battle of Moytura. The Well of Slane was created to restore life to warriors killed during battle. The wounded warrior would be dipped into the well and life would return making him fit for battle. During the second Battle of Moytura the opposing side filled the well with stones in order to stop Tuatha De Dannan from healing their warriors. Legend has it that the site is still guarded by Diancecht and his sons.

Airmid resides in the mountains of Ireland where she heals elves, faeries, and humans. She uses practical knowledge and magic to bring health and happiness to those she touches.
