Mythology Summary
Manannan mac Lir is the Irish sea god who rides the waves, owns the boat that goes where it is told, and keeps the gate between this world and the other. He is a host and a trickster-teacher rather than a warrior, and he takes a personal interest in the people who cross.
Modern Practice
Manannan is called on before any crossing, for hospitality, and at Samhain when the gate is open. His practice is the gift given before it is asked for and the gate kept honestly.
