Áine and your therapist Kat

ÁINE

Áine was the Irish goddess of love, summer, wealth and fertility, sometimes known as sungoddess or fairygoddess.

Áine's worship was associated in Ireland with agriculture, because as a goddess of fertility, she had command over crops and animals. The hill of Knockainy (Cnock Áine) is named for her, and was site of rites in her honour on Midsummer Eve, involving fire and the blessing of the land, recorded as recently as 1879.

The story says that one Midsummer Eve some girls stayed late on this hill, lit up with torches. Áine  appeared among them and revealed the hill to be alive with fairies, which were only visible through her magical ring.

Áine is also claimed as an ancestor by several Irish clans.

YOUR THERAPIST KAT

My full name is Katerina Lucas. During my youth I assisted my father, in his alternative medicine practice (which has been running for 25 years), but I decided to study horticulture at master degree level. I gained a master degree in Horticulture but I did not leave alternative medicine completely and studied herbalism at university as part of the course. After several years working as a horticultural instructor I decided to move towards natural therapy and so I studied Therapeutic Horticulture at Coventry University. Following this I returned to alternative medicine and improved the knowledge from youth by studying full time complementary therapies.
