In Irish mythology Tír na nÓg (Irish pronunciation: [ˌtʲiːɾʲ n̪ˠə ˈn̪ˠoːɡ]; "Land of the Young") or Tír na hÓige ("Land of Youth") is one of the names for the Celtic Otherworld, or perhaps for a part of it.
Tír na nÓg is depicted as an island paradise and supernatural realm of everlasting youth, beauty, health, abundance and joy.[2][5] In the echtrae (adventure) and immram (voyage) tales, various Irish mythical heroes visit Tír na nÓg after a voyage or an invitation from one of its residents. They reach it by entering ancient burial mounds or caves, by journeying through a mist, by going under water, or by travelling across the sea for three days on an enchanted boat or Manannán's horse.[2] The tales of mortals who visit the Otherworld are referred to as echtrai (adventures) and baili (visions, ecstasies).
In my version, the realm of Tír na nÓg is entered through a magical portal cunningly disguised as an LED ring light. It’s a place where anything can happen – and usually does.
The white metal and resin kit figures used are almost all 54mm sourced from El Greco in the UK and are by various manufacturers including;
Draconia
El Valejo Dragon
Morland Miniatures (sourced direct from the mfr)
The fantasy Viking at the back was bought from Seil Miniatures in S.Korea.
The "Good & Evil" duo stuck up in the LHS tree, and based on a well-known Boris Vallajo poster, came from Berliner Zenfiguren, Germany - and the two plastic dogs seen in the last photo are from a local toy shop.
