Follow the rainbow to the end to find your gold pot, which was left by a leprechaun, at least that is the modern American version. One of the most famous Irish myths is, of course, the Leprechauns. Now when the Catholics added their spin on the old Irish legend, the tale goes in the Catholic faith. When the sides were being chosen in heaven, God’s first Angel (Lucifer), there were many factions of angels that did not want to side with God or Lucifer. One was the Cherubs; the other was one without a name. We know them as Leprechauns. Those angels were merrymakers; their sole purpose was to give human merriment, joy, and mischief. None of those factions were warriors, which is why they chose to remain neutral, but unlike the cherubs whose sole purpose was to bring human love. The Leprechaun sect of angels as the war was finished, God said, and you did not fight, I did care if you joined Lucifer. Thus they were punished by banishment. God said to the Leprechaun leader the only thing that God gave them as he felt pity for them because to choose to fight in the war would go against their nature. God knew their nature since he created them, as he is omniscient. He allowed them to choose where on Earth to be banished. All of that sect of Angels and their leader knew that only one place on Earth would feel at home, as they could roam free and do what they wanted as humans were not in that area, the land of Eire (Modern day Ireland, and Eire means freedom).
