Ciara ingen Medba
Ciara ingen Medba was a Irish Druid woman who operated in Ireland in the 9th century.
Biography
Ciara was raised as a wildly free child in the regions of Connacht. She came from a family of Druid pagans who encouraged her whims and desires. Eventually her parents passed down her beliefs to her. Her mother even taught her how to sing very gracefully and almost mesmerizingly. As a child, she was taught stories and songs about the Lia Fáil, all of which concentrated on how it is brimming with beauty and divine powers.
At some point she discovered a region in the mountains which she designated as her personal spot. When Ciara grew up, she had a very deep connection to the Druidic religion as well as the pagans scattered across Ireland who still practiced the Druidic faith.
It was for these native Druidic faiths that Ciara decided to accept the post of Ollamh Érenn, the Bard of All Ireland. This gave her an equal social standing when compared to the High King himself. She put in a lot of effort to have Ireland as well as the native Druids fight for Flann Sinna, seeing that Flann not only recognized her as an an important asset to Ireland, but also decided to allow the pagan Druids of Ireland to practice his faith without discrimination from the Irish Christians or Norse settlers.
