"Watch where you walk,
in the wilds of Ireland.
Care for your tread on the ground.
Step not inside the mushroom ring,
Or the sidhe will take you,
round and around."
-ScéalaI Beag
Ireland has long been a place set between the worlds and here to this very day we have some very firm and rightly observed lore about the folk of the Otherworld. From our early stories we are told the sidhe and the danger that may befall the unwary. One such danger is known as the fairy ring.
A fairy ring is an area of mushrooms that form either a pronounced arc or indeed a entire circle. It may also be a batch of dead grass, they most commonly arise in woodland or meadow areas.
Folk lore warns against stepping across the boundary of these rings as one could be ensnared by the sidhe folk, and either taken down into their mounds, or even forced to join their dance until exhaustion leads to your death. There are some ways to escape this entrapment but often times the person, though returned to our world, has lost too much of themselves to the Otherworld. They no longer enjoy or are sustained by the foods of our world, having supped upon the fare offered in fairy. They are lost in their own minds trying to forever recall their experience on the Otherside, or struck with a sadness that they will never again hear the delightful melodies of the sidhe folk.
Whether you are concerned of getting lost, or returning with only a half a life left to you, it might be best to follow one simple rule when confronted with a fairy ring. Do Not Enter.
