Product Description

Enter the mysterious world beneath Ireland’s Atlantic waves with the Merrow, one of the most enchanting beings in Irish folklore.

The Irish merrow — mer meaning sea — is traditionally described as a supernatural sea being, sometimes appearing as a beautiful woman and sometimes as a man. Stories of the merrow are especially associated with Ireland’s wild western coastline and fishing communities.

Folklore tells of merrows living beneath the sea and possessing magical clothing or objects that allowed them to travel between the ocean and the land. Some tales tell of encounters between merrows and humans, including stories of love, marriage and the mysterious pull of the sea.

Like much Irish folklore, the stories vary from place to place and from one storyteller to another. The merrow belongs to a rich tradition of Irish coastal mythology, where the sea was both a source of life and a place of mystery.

This RareGer card celebrates Ireland’s ancient connection with the Atlantic — and the stories imagined beneath its waves.

Where the land meets the sea, another world begins.
