[Ireland's Trees & Mythology @Tree_Folklore]

In Irish folklore it was believed that as the sun set on Midsummer's Eve (June 23rd) that the elusive Fern seed could be found 🌞

This precious, and elusive, item would grant the finder the power of invisibility allowing them to plunder treasure and commit all manner of misdeeds unseen.

Yet the search for the fern seed is fraught with unimaginable terror, for every phantom and demon imaginable will also have joined the hunt 👹 👻

They will howl, scream and force a person to endure terrifying visions to the point that even those who succeed never truly recover from the experience...
