Tír na nÓg - The Land of the Young. According to Irish mythology, it was an enchanted island off the west coast of Ireland where everyone was young and beautiful, and there was no illness or unhappiness.
This magical land was home to the Tuatha de Dannan, the last band of gods and goddesses to rule Ireland. They were skilled in magic and had an unbreakable bond with nature.
The Tuatha de Dannan were said to have arrived in Ireland on a cloud of mist. In the Mythological Cycle of early Irish literature, the four treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann are four magical items which the mythological Tuatha Dé Danann are supposed to have brought with them from the four island cities Murias, Falias, Gorias, and Findias when they arrived in Ireland
Legend has it that Tír na nÓg could only be reached by crossing the sea or by being invited by one of its inhabitants. Once you arrived on the island, time stood still, and you would never age. The people of Tír na nÓg were skilled in magic and had many treasures, including a magical cauldron that could bring the dead back to life.
But as with all good things, there was a catch. Anyone who left Tír na nÓg could never return. And so, those who entered this magical land were said to be trapped there forever.
Tír na nÓg has inspired many stories throughout Irish folklore. It's a symbol of eternal youth and a reminder that sometimes, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
