Trees of Knowledge (not necessarily Knowledge of Good and Evil) have apparently grown in many parts of the world in mythical times.Anne E.G.

The Oilliphéist must have happened first to carve the Shannon channel, then Sionna to provide the waters of the river. But St. Patrick came even earlier in order to frighten the Oilliphéist, which certainly suggests that Eve and Adam had happened much earlier. So Sionna was still in the Garden of Eden, as a granddaughter of a sea deity, long after the humans got chased out. Wait, I'm getting confused. No wonder the gift of Blarney has been given to the inhabitants of this fabled island. Thanks for a great St. Patrick's Day blog post.Paxnoreply@blogger.com
