Somewhere over the Rainbow...

Of all things Irish, I especially love...

LEPRECHAUNS! You didn't think I would forget about these wee folk, did you?

These sprite fairies are crafty and like to get into mischeif. Who doesn't like some cunning shenanigans every now and then, right? They are said to be very rich, but hide their treasure- pot o' gold style. Though they will try to outwit you if you come in contact with one, they must reveal the location of their fortune if you ask. But don't let them out of your sight- literally. So long as you have the leprechaun in your vision, he will be entrapped in your stare. As soon as you look away, he vanishes. POOF! Keep your ear to the ground for sounds of a shoemakers hammer- that will alert you to the proximity of a leprechaun. If you are a shoemaker, it may be a little more difficult to distinguish between the rap of these folk and your own, but stay vigilant. The reward is said to be great. For increased odds of encountering one of these creatures, try hanging out in the vicinity of rainbows- because we all know that there is a pot o' gold at the end of every rainbow.

Good luck, happy leprechaun spotting!
