[quote=neogirl123]- The Sidhe (shee) are considered to be a distinct race, quite separate from human beings yet who have had much contact with mortals over the centuries, and there are many documented testimonies to this. Belief in this race of beings who have powers beyond those of men to move quickly through the air and change their shape at will once played a huge part in the lives of people living in rural Ireland and Scotland. Belief in the sidhe is part of a pre-Christian religion which survived for thousands of years and which has never been completely wiped out from the minds of the people. I personally know 2 ppl that still claim Sidhe as their religious conviction. Its pretty interesting.[/quote] It is indeed interesting. If you know, were/are the sidhe believed to do good acts only, or both bad and good? As a pre-Christian religion, were there any rituals dedicated to sidhe? Were sidhe ever sought out for favors or to do certain things that would benefit a village or an individual? I'm just curious about how the people manifested their belief in the sidhe.
