Irish Thought for October 22...

Irish Folklore

Glas Gaivlen

A sacred, fairy cow that appears to mortals on May Day to bring good fortune to farmers whose fields they cross, the Glas Gaivlen is usually described as milk-white, studded with spots of bright green.  In whichever fields she walks on, the crops are more bountiful, with larger potatoes and sweeter grass.  Sometimes it is suggested that the Glas Gaivlen resides in the sea for the res of the year.
