Orin Vale
Manannán mac Lir is a central figure in Irish mythology, often portrayed as a sea deity, Otherworld ruler, and guardian of travel, hospitality, and hidden knowledge. Across medieval sources, his shifting roles as god, king, or magician reveal a complex tradition that links the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, and the mysteries of the sídhe.
