Aine is the goddess of the love, fertility and the moon. I have always felt an association with this name. I have always loved the water and its soothing qualities with mind, body and soul. Now - I can see the connection and the pull of eternity.

Áine (aw-ne) (Irish) - A faery queen and goddess of love and fertility. She is associated with the moon and has occasionally been seen combing her hair in the middle of a lake. Daughter of high king, Eogabail, the foster son of sea god Mannanán Mac Lir. Her sister is Fenne or Finnen.

Is our destiny, vulnerability and our inner soul connected to the past? Do we follow in the footsteps of our forefathers? Do we break out and test the waters with our curiosity and imagination?
