Icon Meme

Last seen with emony :

I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

Intersting fact to learn!

Question for you though..I am imagining that there is a fairie queen named Maeve in some folklore as well? Not sure if you know, but it's worth a shot.

She might be a variation on the original myth- I've noticed in my research that there's usually at least THREE versions of every story.

In Irish myths and legends, the fairy folk the Shee were there much earlier than human beings.

Mind you, Maeve is totally one of those 'Irish as Paddy McGinty's goat' names, so gets used in a lot of stuff like that, I think.
