Manannán Mac Lir was the Irish God of the Sea, first ruler of the Isle of Man and ferryman to the mystical Otherworld. As a member of the legendary Tuatha Dé Danann, he had astonishing magical powers and possessions that he often used to trick and dazzle the mortals that he came across. In this story, Manannán arrives at a great feast in Bel Atha Senaig (Ballyshannon) and gets into a spot of bother with its ruler Aobh Dubh O’Donnell. I hope you like it and thank you so much for checking it out!

Thank you so much for checking it out! Your support means so much and is such a big help, there will definitely be plenty more on the way. That's awesome that you made it down to the statue too, I think its definitely worth seeing in person even for the view alone!

I'd forgotten about the isle of man's connection to Manannan! Such a great video was that! ! Atmospheric and artistic! I hope you continue to make more and more folklore videos. Thanks Mr Reiver for the reccomendation!

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Yeah I found it so interesting how he links in with the Isle of Man, I love finding out about how these ancient Celtic mythological figures inspire so many of our place names around here. There will definitely be lots more folklore videos on the way, thanks for taking the time to check out my video :)

Manan did not die. He did lose a magic battle tho, which is why he is not too visible these days. But every 7 years when Boaldyn happens on a Sunday his hidden island becomes visible in the dawn mists off the Calf of Man.

Wow I hadn't heard that part of the legend before! Thanks for filling me in, that's really interesting. I'll hope to try and see that island myself someday :)
