Being home in Ireland has sent me down a mythology rabbit hole, and honestly, I’m not complaining 🖤

Three new designs, three stories, and a little bit of magic in each ✨️

The Morrígan- The Phantom Queen 🐦‍⬛
Associated with war and fate, the Morrígan is one of the most formidable figures in Irish mythology. Her connection to the crow gives the bird beside her its meaning. A watchful presence at the edge of battle, when a warrior’s fate is still unknown. She reminds us that courage isn’t knowing how a story will end, it’s facing it anyway.

The Enchanted Stag- Spirit of the Wild 🦌
Irish legends are full of moments when the natural world is more than it seems. Inspired by tales of enchanted deer, this stag represents instinct, freedom and the quiet magic of the wild.

The Sword of Light- The Quest ⚔️
The Sword of Light appears in Irish folktales when a hero is faced with a seemingly impossible task. More than a weapon, it represents the courage to begin, the strength to keep going and the hope of finding a way through.

Three designs inspired by the mystery, wildness and legends of Ireland. 🇮🇪✨

Being back home in Ireland has left me feeling inspired! 🇮🇪
By the landscape, history and stories woven into every corner of this beautiful place.

I wanted to create a trilogy that captures a little of that magic in my own style. ☘️
Irish mythology is filled with supernatural beings, sacred animals and legendary weapons. These stories have been passed down through generations, carrying themes of protection, transformation, courage and our connection to the land.

The Bean Sí — The Mourning Spirit
The Bean Sí is a mysterious female spirit whose cry foretells a death within an Irish family.
Rather than representing death itself, she embodies ancestral connection, intuition and the unseen bond between this world and the next.

The Irish Hare — Spirit of the Wild
The hare has long been associated with the Otherworld. A symbol of instinct, freedom and transformation, she reminds us to trust our intuition and remain connected to our wildest, most authentic selves.

Fragarach — The Answerer
A legendary sword associated with Manannán mac Lir and the warrior-god Lugh, Fragarach was said to pierce any armour and compel the truth. Surrounded by powerful ocean waves and Celtic knotwork, it represents clarity, courage and the strength to stand firmly within your own truth.

Three designs inspired by the spirit, wilderness and legends of Ireland. 🇮🇪✨
