Manann is the son of Taal, the god of wild places, and Rhya, the goddess of nature, and is the deity of the seas and oceans. He controls the tides and the currents and is as unpredictable and changeable as the sea itself. He is usually portrayed as a huge, powerfully-built man, wearing a spiked crown of black iron and dressed in barbarian clothes in the same way as his father, but he can also take the form of a whirlpool or waterspout or a huge sea-monster.

  • The albatross is the iconic sign of Manann’s presence. It can be a portent of good or ill equally and is therefore difficult to interpret. It is usually seen flying high in the sky above a ship far from land. It is one of the most famous divine omens in the Old World. Because of its importance, the bird is considered sacred by all Manannites. A dead albatross is always a bad omen.[2a] Example visions that a priest of Manann might receive include a stormy sea, signifying change and conflict, or a ship, usually telling of good fortune, riches, or an impending visitor. Other images in visions from Manann might be fish, sea monsters, sunken wrecks, and perilous rocks. One vision always interpreted by priests of Manann as a dire warning and a need to change one’s ways is the drowning man, especially if the priest imagines it is himself that is drowning.[2a]
