Ancient Paths

The Tuatha de Danaan, or fairies as most know them had existed with humans since the beginning of time. They shared their magic freely with humans and animals. As men began to war and pillage, the fairies could stay no longer, as their homes were torn apart. They departed through the portal in Newgrange, Ireland to another dimension where they could live in a different reality than the humans.

So enters young Faelan O'Broin, a young Irish lad who prophecy had written would come and open the portal that the fairies had gone through so long ago. He would bring them back to add their magic to the Earth once again.

His family has long been known for their Raven Magic. His mother taught him all she knew about plants and trees for medicine and healing. He learns that he can talk to trees and animals.

He is given by Merlin, a magic grid and crystal with which he can open and travel through portals. As he sets off on his journey from the Southwest of Ireland towards the Northeastern magical region surrounding Newgrange, he meets magical beings to help him ignite his own magic.

Leary, the leprechaun, who carries the bag of gold for the journey, starts the journey with Faelan. They pick up an old witch named Gana, who turns out to be a fairy named Morgana. She teaches Faelan about plant magic and leads him deeper into believing in himself.

Later, he meets Aengus the Irish God of Love, who faced an evil in the portal that stole his magic. Faelan restores some of Aengus' magic as they travel together.

Along the way, he finds some animals that have come to protect him and teach him their magic. Sefu, the cat, is really Heka the Egyptian God of Magic. He took on the form of a cat to join Faelan's journey. Athol the raven, latches onto his shoulder as a strong protector.

He encounters animals and plants that teach him their magic. From astral traveling with the mug wort to remembering his life as a Mintakan with dolphins, his experiences are breath-taking.

As he traverses many sacred sites on his journey, he meets many gods, goddesses, and magical beings. Some supply him with elements that he needs to power the portal. Others give him healing magic. One teaches him about death and rebirth into a new body.

He is joined by Scotia, Goddess Brigid, Lugh, Circe, Hecate, Cernunnos, and Morrighan as they lead him deeper and deeper into magic.
