The Sea-Maiden Sings--digital bundle

Fadó, fadó — long, long ago, a young woman named Lí Ban was swept beneath the waters of what would become Lough Neagh, Ireland's vast inland sea. She did not drown. She transformed.

While most Irish mermaid legends tell of sea-maidens trapped between two worlds — their freedom stolen, their choices taken — Lí Ban's story is different. She is pure grit and pure joy. She chooses her path, follows her curiosity, and makes the deep her home.

The Sea-Maiden Sings: Lí Ban, The Mermaid of Lough Neagh explores the legend of Ireland's most remarkable mermaid through the lens of Irish mythology, the folklore of the maighdean mhara, and one writer's discovery that her own ancestors once lived on the very shores where Lí Ban swam.

This is Booklet No. 1 in the Fairsing Publishing series on mythic Irish women.

What's inside:

Five reflections exploring global mermaid lore, the full legend of Lí Ban, a personal essay on transformation and liminality, and a curated resources guide for further reading and listening.
