![]() ![]() Some other commentators venture the silver branch Bran saw originated in Emain Ablach, even though that extended form does not appear in the text of the Imram Brain. Bran then mounted on a voyage and reached the Land of Women (Tír inna m-Ban), which is Emain, at least according to some commentators. ![]() After singing verses describing her land as the place of delight (with poetic names such as the "Plain of White Silver") thereafter she slipped away, and the branch sprang back to her, with Bran having no power to keep it in his grasp. In Imram Brain ("Voyage of Bran"), the silver apple branch with white apple blossoms was brought to Bran mac Febail by a mysterious woman, who disclosed that the branch of white silver ( Irish: findargat) was from Emain (or Emne), presumably the land where she hailed from. The Silver Branch or Silver Bough ( Irish: An Craobh Airgid) is a symbol found in Irish mythology and literature.įeatured in the Irish poem The Voyage of Bran and the narrative Cormac's Adventure in the Land of Promise, it represents entry into the Celtic Otherworld or Tír na nÓg. ![]()
