 The Ceili Sidhe Tradition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It also virtually eliminates the concept of 'plug 'n' pray' where a fairly standard ritual is written and the names of the deities that might be appropriate, are 'plugged in'.
Such rituals, which many of Ceili Sidhe students and priesthood have experienced as guests of other traditions rarely demonstrate any in depth knowledge of the Gods and with this lacking, it is decidedly difficult to have a meaningful experience of any type.
However, it also believes just as strongly that the knowledge of spreading yourself too thin can cause problems on many different levels, and by internalizing one system (re: culture), you reap the benefits to be found within that one culture.

 The Dark Muse
The most common and widespread myth attached to Leanan Sidhe is that she is a vampirish spirit who attaches herself to one man. To this man, an artist or poet, she appears irresistibly beautiful, and if he is seduced by her, he is ruined body and soul.
She says, "The Leanan Sidhe, or spirit of life, was supposed to be the inspirer of the poet and singer, as the Bean Sidhe was a spirit and herald of death." Yeats, however, explains the Leanan Sidhe as the spirit who inspires poets and singers, burning them up so that their earthly life is brief.
But it is not intended by this observation to confuse the higher orders of the Sidhe and all fairy folk such as the fae who come from Avalon with succubi; though succubi and fairy women were often confused and improperly identified the one with the other.

And to such seer Celts as these, Death is a passport to the world of the Sidhe, a world where there is eternal youth and never-ending joy, as we shall learn when we study it as the Celtic Otherworld.
In modern Irish tradition, 'the People of the Sidhe,' or simply the Sidhe, refer to the beings themselves rather than to their places of habitation.
From the way they are described in many of the old Irish manuscripts, we may possibly regard the Tuatha De Danann as reflecting to some extent the characteristics of an early human population in Ireland.
