Geocache Description:


This cache is dedicated to Leanan Sidhe. This beguiling creature is the Irish faery mistress, or faery muse, who inspires artists, poets, and musicians. Her enchantments stimulate creativity until it burns with a bright, fierce flame. The sheer intensity of this vision will eventually leave the artist hollow eyed and worn, his gift in ashes. Artists visited by the Leanan Sidhe are said to be touched by genius but often die young.

In other moods, she is the Dark Seductress known as Lhiannan Shee on the Isle of Man. She seduces her victim, draws out his spirit, and leaves him as a ruined husk in a body and soul. She is the skogsfru of Scandinavia, a forest faery with a fatal touch; and the Bonga Maiden of India, a capricious nature spirit who entices and even marries human men. She is the beautiful Deer Maiden of the Lakodta and other Native American tribes, who lures men into the woods to their doom - yet also inspires artists (and occasionally drives them mad). But she is perhaps best known as the faery so evocatively portrayed in Keat's powem "La Belle Dame sans Merci": the seductive creature who leaves the knight haggard, alone, and "palely loitering."

This cache is located in New Bird Park, a park located in Wadsworth. Some ball fields and trails leading through the woods make it a nice spot for an afternoon picnic. The cache is located off of one of these paths through the woods.

Please Note: Do not park at the school, there is plenty of parking available for the park on Bird St., also the cache will be easier to get to from there.
