Fuamnach

Fuamnach

In Irish mythology Fuamnach was Midir's first wife and a witch goddess. When Midir fell in love with Étaín and married her, Fuamnach got so jealous that she cast several spells on her, but she did not succeed. She could not regain Midir, who could retain Étaín as his wife after a series of adventures.
