FAIRY GENEALOGY

The following genealogy is derived from a combination of legends and genuine genealogies. None of these are thought to be Neverborn. The line is for the dryads (tree faeries) whose sequence is preserved in the Ogham. This line lived in Hy-Breasail (Avalon) and most of them were residents of the Grail Castle, all in Fairyland. This is primarily the female line, though the Druidic line was also a fairy line and is included where known.

Mathonwy was the father of Don.

Don, Danu or Dana, born about 1850 BC, was Mother of the Tuatha De Danann who took Ireland from the Firbolgs forcing the Firbolgs to escape into fairyland as giant grotesque spirit beings. She had Pendardun by Beli.  

Pendardun was wife of Lir. Her son was Manawyddan (Mananan).

Manawyddan married the fairy Rhiannon and had a son, Owel The Druid.

Owel The Druid had a daughter, the fairy Aine.

Aine was living in 1680 BC when the Tuatha De Danann were conquered in by the Milesians and the Tuatha De Danann fled into Hy-Breasail (Fairyland, Avalon, The Western Isles). After the migration her grandfather, Manawyddan, was made king of the fairies. Descended from her was:

Druantia the Silver Fir (Birth Tree) was born about 525 BC. She was Queen of the Druids and mother of all the Ogham Trees (Dryads). Her daughter was:

Straif (Sloe Red, the Blackthorn who failed to see the truth) married Gwydion the Druid (son of Don, the Mother of the Tuatha de  Danann, who later became the Daoine Sidhe or Fairies) and is the ancestress of all the Swan Girls. Gwydion rode a great white horse which is also symbolic of his riding the Swan Girls. In otherwords, the legend said Gwydion was brought to shore as a child riding a white swan. This was how the sons of the Grail Castle were identified. Straif was Head of the Goddess in about 210 BC. She was the mother of Blodeuwedd.

Blodeuwedd Ruis (Blush, the Elderberry who closed the circle) married Lleu and Njorth of the Norse sagas. She was Head of the Goddess in about 190 BC. She was the mother of Drvantia Ailim and Frigg. She is associated with owls, flowers, lunar mysteries, and initiations.

Drvantia Ailim (Groan, the Silver Fir who learned) married, Gewar King of Norway (b. abt 170 BC). She was Head of the Goddess in about 170 BC. She was the mother of Nanna Ohn.

Cwmryu Eadha (Distinguished, Aspen who was afraid), or Summer was Head of the Goddess in about 100 BC. She was the mother of Ithon. Apparently Cwmryu and Breidi died before Ithon was old enough to take the title because Penardim, the daughter of Breidi, became Head of the Goddess. Penardim Eadha married Lear, king of Briton (75BC-10AD) and was mother of Bran the Archdruid and Ioho (Idad, or Oldest, the Yew who changed) the Head of the Goddess. Bran married Anna (daughter of James the brother of Jesus) and was the father of a younger Bran the Archdruid who married Enygeus. Bran by Enygeus had a daughter Penardun who married Marius the king of Siluria. It is not clear what the two lines of priestesshood (one line from Cwmryu and the other from Breidi) indicate, possibly the Gaulish Ardennes and the British Ardennes, however, from Ioho descended the tree goddesses: Koad (Bouyant, the Grove who was wise), Oir (Most Venerable, the Spindle who accomplished), Uilleand (Most Juicy, the Honeysuckle who was cautious), Phagos (Sweetest, the Beech who innovated), and Emancoll (the Weary, or Mor, the Sea, who sailed away).
