Flidais: Irish Goddess of Wildlife and Cattle

Orin Vale

Flidais is a figure from Irish mythology linked to wild animals, cattle, abundance, and the untamed forces of nature. Preserved in scattered medieval sources, she offers a revealing glimpse into how pre-Christian Irish tradition imagined fertility, sovereignty, and the powerful women who stood at the edge of myth.
