Overview

Cu Sidhe are the green hounds of the sidhe, normally located in Ireland or Scotland, however they tend to roam frequently.

Appearance:

The Cu Sidhe is the size of a young bull with the appearance of a wolf or wolfhound. Its fur is shaggy, and usually cited as being dark green though sometimes white. Its tail is long and either coiled up or braided, its paws are as being the width of a man’s hand, and their eyes are normally red, yellow, or brown.

Abilities:

Cu Sidhe are stealthy, being able to hunt while making no sound whatsoever. Their voices carry for miles upon miles when they howl, however that howl doesn’t necessarily signify death, just their location to one another. Since they tend to stay in packs, they are very good at patrolling and defending (however they would probably prefer cuddling, forest walks, and beef jerky)

Associations:

Colors- Green, Brown, Copper, Red, Light Blue

Plants- Moss, Ivy, Creepers

Stones- Moss Agate, Aventurine, Ruby, Topaz

Smells- Forest, Plants, Cotton, Soil, Rivers

YO I’m also spreading this because she’s actually really important she’s Kannon (観音) in Japan and she has a crap ton of incarnations. One incarnation is this princess named Miaoshan who was pressured by her father to marry, but she wouldn’t budge unless she could marry one who helped the aging, sick, and the dying. Her dad was confused until she said that meant she wanted to marry a doctor, so he threw a fit and had her do hard labor. She ditched that to go help with religion and people who needed her.

Another incarnation is Avalokiteśvara, who was REALLY important and the quote says “it is easier to count all the leaves of every tree of every forest and all the grains of sand in the universe than to count the blessings and power of Avalokiteshwara”. So HOLY CRAP.

SO YEAH ID BEEN TO JAPAN, I WANDERED KANNON’S TEMPLE, AND I HAD NO IDEA.
