Aos sí or aos sídhe (pronounced [iːsˠ ˈʃiː]; English approximation: eess SHEE) is the Irish name for a supernatural race in Gaelic folklore, similar to elves. They are said to descend from the Tuatha Dé Danann or the gods of Irish mythology. The term aos sí means "folk of the sí"; these are the mounds in which they are said to dwell, which are seen as portals to an Otherworld. Such abodes are referred to in English as "shees", "fairy mounds", "elf mounds" or "hollow hills". The aos sí interact with humans and the human world. They are variously said to be the ancestors, the spirits of nature, or goddesses and gods.
