In Irish mythology, supernatural beings or fairies, often spelled 'daoine sídhe' meaning 'people of the fairy mounds.'
From Old Irish daoine meaning 'people' or 'folk.' The term appears in Celtic mythology as referring to the Tuatha Dé Danann and other supernatural races, preserving ancient Irish spiritual beliefs.
The daoine were so real to Irish culture that people would leave food offerings and avoid certain lands out of respect—showing how mythology wasn't just stories but actually shaped how people lived their daily lives.
