The Rebirth of Sionainn

There is a legend in Irish Folklore, for how the river Shannon (Irelands largest river) came to be. Sinann/Sionainn was the granddaughter of the sea-god Lir. According to legend, Sionainn approached Connla's well, a mythical spring that was a source of wisdom. Around this well were 9 hazelnut trees which dropped nuts into the water, wherein the salmon of knowledge who lived there would feed upon them. Anyone who drank the water, ate the salmon or the hazelnuts would be granted godly wisdom.
Though the reason varies from tale to tale, it is consistent that Sionainn breaks some unknown rule as she approaches the well, resulting in the well water springing forth and sweeping her away to sea, drowning her in the process. The river that lay in the wake of her death was named after her, known now as the Shannon (an anglicized version).
This video takes place not in that legend but as an imagining of the moment Sionainn drowns. Sionainn having been washed to sea, wakes up, unknowing of what has happened, all the while transforming, losing her mortal form, and becoming a goddess of the water.
