<\/div>\n
Remarkable piece of Irish archival TV footage which demonstrates the power which belief in fairies once held over rural Irish communities. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
In this particular case, a sacred Fairy Thorn<\/i> (Hawthorn) is removed to make way for a new road construction project in County Down. The man who cut the tree down dies (according to a woman in the report), and then the community gives the Fairy Thorn<\/i> tree a funeral in its honour. Nothing is reported of how they felt about the sacrilegious ad hoc lumberjack.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The purpose of the funeral was to give respect to the fairy folk whom Irish people lived in dire fear of, and it was not until Walt Disney that fairies were transformed into loveable sprites. Our Gaelic, Nordic, Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic ancestors took fairies very seriously and did not want them to come anywhere near us. Which is why the woman in the story explains how her mother – as a little girl – hid in fear from a fairy when she saw one.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
All night around the thorn tree,<\/span><\/div>\n
The little people play,<\/span><\/div>\n
And men and women passing<\/span><\/div>\n
Will turn their heads away.<\/span><\/div>\n
From break of dawn til moonrise,<\/span><\/div>\n
Alone it stands on high,<\/span><\/div>\n
With twisted springs for branches,<\/span><\/div>\n
Across the winter sky.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
They\u2019ll tell you dead men hung there,<\/span><\/div>\n
Its black and bitter fruit,<\/span><\/div>\n
To guard the buried treasure<\/span><\/div>\n
Round which it twines its root.<\/span><\/div>\n
They\u2019ll tell you Cromwell hung them,<\/span><\/div>\n
But that could never be,<\/span><\/div>\n
He\u2019d be in dread like others<\/span><\/div>\n
To touch the Fairy Tree.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
But Katie Ryan who saw there<\/span><\/div>\n
In some sweet dream she had,<\/span><\/div>\n
The Blessed Son of Mary<\/span><\/div>\n
And all His face was sad.<\/span><\/div>\n
She dreamt she heard Him saying:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWhy should they be afraid?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
[Repeat: \u201cWhy should they be afraid?\u201d]<\/span><\/div>\n
When from a branch of thorn tree<\/span><\/div>\n
The crown I wore was made?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
From moonrise round the thorn tree<\/span><\/div>\n
The little people play<\/span><\/div>\n
And men and women passing<\/span><\/div>\n
Will turn their heads away.<\/span><\/div>\n
But if your heart\u2019s a child\u2019s heart<\/span><\/div>\n
And if your eyes are clean,<\/span><\/div>\n
You\u2019ll never fear the thorn tree<\/span><\/div>\n
That grows beyond Clogheen.<\/span><\/div>\n
