Biddy Early Biddy Early

This is a true story about an old Wise Woman who lived in the wilds of West Ireland in the late 1800's. She was a Seer, Healer. The stories about her are legendary. People used to come to her with ailments & troubles. She would look into a blue glass bottle that had 'things' in the bottom. She would shake it and peer inside. By this she would tell the folk what their problems & ailments were and how to solve them. It is said that the Faerie Folk gave her this blue glass bottle, and that she could see & speak to them. Upon her death, her blue glass bottle disappeared never to be seen again.
