Saint Brendan

Saint Brendan (c. AD 484 – c. 577) (Irish: Naomh Bréanainn or Naomh Breandán; Latin: Brendanus) was an irish monastic who went on a journey on the atlantic ocean to search for the Garden Eden and eventually found "a Star", "a Mountain" and "a Tree".The members of the Notion Club deduced he had eventually found the straight Path and encountered the Star of Eärendil, the Meneltarma and the shores of Tol Eressea with it's white tree, though he did not set foot upon these lands.

Notion Club Member Philip Frankley had had a dream on Saint Brendan or on a Poem or song, the Ballad of St. Brendan's Death of which some of the other members of the Notion Club speculated that it might have been part of a lost western antlantican oral tradition among the Irish, Anglo-Saxons and other possible descendants of the Númenóreans.
