Children Of Lir Irish Jewelry Plus A Giveaway From Tracy Gilbert

December 6, 2015 by Irish American Mom 65 Comments

The Children of Lir is an old Irish legend  I have loved ever since I was a little girl growing up in Dublin.  I listened enraptured as my grandaunt Nan told the tale of the four children who were turned into swans by their jealous stepmother, Aoife.

Today let’s explore this wonderful, yet sad Irish tale from days gone by. To mark the importance of the Children of Lir in Irish folklore and history, we’ll have a little giveaway for a magnificent pendant designed by Tracy Gilbert, an outstandingly skilled Irish jeweler.

Tracy will introduce her work in just a little while, but first let’s learn about the Children of Lir…..

 

The Children Of Lir:

 

A long, long time ago in Ireland there a lived a King called Lir who had four wonderful children whom he loved dearly.

Fionnuala (pronounced Fin-ool-ah), Fiachra (pronounced Fee-ah-kra), Aodh (pronounced Eh), and Conn (pronounced Kahn) lost their mother when they were young. They missed her stories and singing so much King Lir decided they needed a new mother.

He married his late wife’s sister, Aoife. At first she loved the children but over time she grew jealous of how much the king loved his children.

One day, as the children swam in Lake Derravaragh, Aoife cast a spell on them, turning them into swans. Although they were no longer human they retained their mystical singing voices.

Aoife’s spell forced them to live as swans for nine hundred years. She bade them spend three hundred years on Lake Derravaragh, three hundred years on the Sea of Moyle and three hundred years on the Island of Glora. Only the sound of a bell would break the spell.

Their father Lir learned of the singing swans, and soon reconnected with his children. He turned their wicked stepmother into mist upon learning of her cruel spell.

The first 300 years on Lake Derravaragh were happy in the company of their father.  Once they bade goodbye to him, 300 years of sorrow awaited them on the fierce waves of the Sea of Moyle, which separates Ireland from Scotland.

When they returned to Ireland they discovered their father had passed away and his castle was now in ruins. Their last 300 years were were spent on the Island of Glora where in the final years of the spell they met a holy man named Caomhóg (pronounced Kway-vohg).

The King of Connacht learned of their beautiful singing voices. He tried to capture them, but upon hearing Caomhóg’s bell, a mist descended and the swans regained their human forms. At first they were children, but they aged rapidly.

Before they died Caomhóg christened them, and their legend has lived on ever since, being passed down from generation to generation through the spoken annals of ancient Celtic folklore.

This tale might be considered way too sad for American children today, but as Irish children we grew up on tales of treachery, sorrow, magically mixed together with Celtic mysticism.

And I continue to share these legends with my children.  A little bit of sorrow does them no harm at all. 

Swans are plentiful in Ireland in the winter months. Swans are never killed by hunters, because they are revered in Celtic legends, like the Children of Lir.

 

Stunning Irish Jewelry Inspired by Irish Ancestry and Folklore:

 

Tracy Gilbert is a Dublin-based designer and maker of beautifully hand-crafted contemporary Irish jewelry. Tracy not only makes beautiful things in Ireland, she also makes Ireland into beautiful things.

The map of Ireland features in many pieces. Turn a piece from the ‘Growing Home’ collection in just the right way, to reveal a perfectly formed map of Ireland.

Tracy Gilbert Irish Jewelry Designer

 

Tracy is immensely proud of her Irish heritage. She was educated through the Irish language and has always been inspired by the rich artistic and mythological history of Ireland.

Each piece is meticulously made with love for Irish roots, history and folklore.

Celtic Heart Trinity Knot Pendant

Celtic Trinity Heart Pendant

The meanings attaching to Tracy’s pieces are very important to her.

Tracy’s very first design, the Celtic Trinity Heart pendant, was made for somebody very special and is a simple reworking of the traditional Celtic Trinity knot. The addition of the heart in the middle of the knot symbolises ‘Forever love’.

Growing Home Green Pendant by Tracy Gilbert

Growing Home Pendant

Tracy’s Growing Home collection is a reimagined ‘Tree of Life’ with Ireland represented as a beautiful oak tree – strong and enduring (rotate the piece anti-clockwise and you’ll see that the canopy of the tree is indeed a map of Ireland). Like most trees, it has weathered many storms but continues to grow strong, it is deeply rooted.

It also reflects the wearers ancestry, with roots firmly planted in Ireland. Also, that Ireland as a nation continues to grow and will provide shelter to her people no matter where they are living.

Children of Lir Earrings by Tracy Gilbert Designs - Irish Jewelry

Children of Lir Drop Earrings

Tracy’s Children of Lir collection is inspired by the tale, in Irish folklore, of four siblings who were turned into swans for 900 years by their stepmother, jealous of the children’s love for each other and their father, Lir.

The swans are entwined to form a heart, symbolizing love and dedication.

You can view all of Tracy’s pieces on her website Tracy Gilbert Designs.

You can follow her stories and design updates on Facebook and Twitter.

 

The Prize:

 

One lucky reader will win a beautiful sterling silver pendant, inspired by the Irish tale of the Children of Lir. A pair of swans intertwine to reveal a heart of love and devotion, highlighted by stunningly blue Celtic waves.

    Tracy’s art is very touching. My sister, Kathleen (good Irish name) birthday is in February and she will be getting one of Tracy’s Trinity Heart necklace. I hope I am lucky enough to win her swans. My daughter is in charge of an Irish Luncheon (about 300 people) after the Salt Lake City St. Patrick’s Parade and Irish American Mom website has been helping me with inspiration. Thanks for sharing the Irish Folklore, since my Grandmother passed, our Irish spirit was wavered.

    My husband proposed to me at the swan pond on Boston, MA, 37 yrs ago, because he knew I had a fondness for swans. When I read about the Children of Lir, I wept. Seeing the swans in Galway Bay was a magical experience. The story of the Children of Lir was recalled & the beautiful day was enhanced by the elegance of the numerous swans in the Bay. The jewelry created by Tracy Gilbert is a gorgeous tribune to her/our homeland legends. She is truly a talented & generous artisan. Once again my thanks to you, Mairead, for your wonderful blog. Merry Christmas to you & yours.

    What beautiful artistry…the growing home design (the tree of life reimagined) seems also symbolic of the promise of God to St. Patrick…that wherever the sons and daughters of Ireland find themselves, they remain sons and daughters of Ireland and fall under the protection of the promise to St. Patrick that they will not lose their Faith. This really is very touching. Thank you, Mairead*, again, for this wonderful information about Tracy Gilbert’s work.

    I love this story. My favorite stories are ones passed on by my grandmother. Biddy Early did not live far from the family cottage so my grandmother heard the stories as a child. Some realatives even knew Biddy. My Great Uncles and father needed to dig a new well and were having trouble finding a spot. My Uncle Mike, after days of looking, went to Biddy’s property and got a stick for divining rod. This was the day they found water!

      Hi Susan – Your grandmother’s stories – what a wonderful family legacy to have. I love your story about a stick from Biddy Early’s property helped divine the water for your uncle’s well. My father is really good at divining water. He uses a Y-shaped sally rod and when he walks around a field near the river on our farm in Cork, the stick goes crazy. If anyone else takes the stick it just stays still. I must video him doing it sometime.

    What a lovely Christmas it would be to wear this necklace!!!!! It would make me feel like a child again after reading about the legend of the Children of Lir. After all these years, I am just connecting with my family in Ireland. My grandmother was born there and immigrated to the USA with her ship docking in Philadelphia. Ireland is on my bucket list. To hear and learn everything I can is such a joy to me and really hits my heart.
