Balor of the Strong Blows (or Evil Eye) steals away the cow back to his island (Tory island?)! Cian seeks help from a druidess (& member of Tuatha De Danann), "Birog of the Mountain". She tells him that the cow can never be recovered while Balor is alive! ©@PJLynchArt @droimeann

Glas Gaibhnenn, the Irish gods' magic cow described as "the green (cow)"; "Grey (cow) of the Smith"; "Goibniu's Grey or Brindled (Cow)"; "white heifer" glossed "the grey-flanked-cow". "white with green spots"! Description best suits Irish Moiled (L) or Droimeann (R) ©@droimeann!

Sadbh. Enchanted into a doe for 3 years for refusing love of dark druid. Told if set foot in the dún (fort) of the Fianna the spell would be broken! Met & married Fionn mac Cumhaill! But later she was turned back into a doe. Fionn searched 7 years but never found her!🎨sloegenie

One of Glas Gaibhnenn's various names is Glas Goibniu as she was once owned by Goibniu the metalsmith of the Tuatha Dé Danann (Irish gods/goddesses)! He is associated with hospitality so all that lots milk from her magic udder would have been very useful! ©Sigo Paolini, dumteedum
