Cloak of Manannán- Celtic ArtifactArtifact"Cloak of Forgetfulness"

The Cloak of Forgetfulness

The cloak shifted through many colours like the surface of the sea and could make its wearer invisible. But its power ran deeper than concealment. In the Serglige Con Culainn, when Manannán's wife Fand fell in love with Cú Chulainn, Manannán came to reclaim her. He shook his cloak between Fand and Cú Chulainn so that they could never see each other again. The druids then gave both Cú Chulainn and his wife Emer a drink of forgetfulness to erase the memory of the affair entirely. The cloak did not merely hide. It severed.

The Mists Between Worlds

When the Tuatha Dé Danann retreated into the síd mounds after the Milesian conquest, Manannán raised the mists that concealed the Otherworld from mortal sight and distributed the síd mounds among the gods. His cloak was the instrument of that veiling: entire realms hidden from human perception, the boundary between worlds kept shut.
