Cliodhna is seen as a banshee, as the Tuatha De Danann and the shape of the Celtic Otherworld. Some myths they call a love and beauty goddess. It was said that her three magic birds that fed on a andersweltigen apple tree could sing and heal the sick to sleep.
Cliodhna was in love with a mortal named Ciabhan. One day on the shore at Glandore ( County Cork) while Ciabhan chased replied the sea god Manannan mac Lir Cliodhna in an enchanted sleep and then sent a wave to return it to the promised land. The tidal range at Glandore is therefore called Tonn Cliodhna ( " Cliodhnas wave" ).
According to another legend called Cormac Mac Carthy Laidir, the builder of Blarney Castle, to the goddess for help in a lawsuit. The instructed him to kiss the first stone he saw in the morning. This he did, winning thanks to brilliant rhetoric the dispute and posted the stone of eloquence high up in the walls of his fortress.
There are a large number of folk tales in which Cliodhna plays a role. They all share their descent from the Tuatha Dé Danann and their belonging to the Banshee, as the queen she is sometimes called.
In the neokeltischen esoteric Cliodhna is often thought of an ancient Celtic god.
