Faces of the Goddess
In Irish mythology, Queen Achtland married one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. She was a mortal woman, but she was not satisfied with what she found available to her among human men. It is said that no man could ever satisfy her, but when she was approached by one of the Tuatha, her heart was smitten with him.
The Tuatha were known to bring all crafts and skills to the human race (originally this knowledge was property of the gods), and it is doubtless that Achtland found much to admire in her new lover. She married this man of the Tuatha, and became immortal by crossing over into the land of the Fey, to be his wife.
