She is the daughter of Egobail, the sister of Aillen and/or Fennen, and is claimed as an ancestor by multiple Irish families. As the goddess associated with fertility, she has command over crops and animals and is also associated with agriculture. Áine is associated with County Limerick, where the hill of Knockainey is named after her. This hill was the site of rites in her honour, involving fire and the blessing of the land, recorded as recently as 1879. She is also associated with sites such as Toberanna, County Tyrone; Dunany, County Louth; Lissan, County Londonderry; and Cnoc Áine near Teelin, County Donegal. Read more
