Cliodna is a Irish/Scottish goddess of beauty and the otherworld. As the ruler of the waves, she was believed to be embodied in every ninth one which broke on shore. This wave was believed to break higher and stronger than the others.

Many folk-tales exist concerning her, nearly all of them contradictory in nature. In her native Munster she was a Goddess of beauty and was viewed as a very lusty woman who often took her mortal lovers to the Otherworld. She escaped the Otherworld with her favorite mortal lover, Ciabhan of the Curling Locks, just before the Cailleach was ready to send her back. The Cailleach sent her faeries to lull the girl to sleep on an Irish beach while a giant wave washed her back to the land of the dead (some versions of the myth say Manannan had a hand in this).

Today she is thought of as a faery queen in County Cork with her own resident burgh. The rocky coastal landmark Tonn Cliodna ('The Wave of Clena') is named for her.

She is attributed to be the daughter of the handsome Druid Gebann, and is also a Goddess of beauty in her own right.

Tiara combs are wonderful as they can be used after the big day to dress up chignons and french pleats for a night out.

This is a stunning tiara comb made up ice pure crystals and diamante with rich red accents. My pictures really does not do her justice.
