Una is how we spell the name these days. I used to hear of the magical people living underground. Apparently, they used to steal human babies and leave their own ugly kids in their place. They were known as the 'sidhe' (pron. 'shee') and their women were called 'bean sidhe' (banshee) and used to cry when someone was about to die....yikes.....Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-12500122713901914772010-08-30T04:49:53.870-07:002010-08-30T04:49:53.870-07:00oh boy Margaret... did i need this one.
