The Fairy-Gods of Ireland

The Sword and Staff

In this weeks edition Josh and Ritchie drop a 2 hour episode outlining Irish Mythology. They get into the Lebor Gabala Erenn - Also known as The Book of Invasions. They discuss the six invasions of Ireland, and they talk about the six peoples ranging from the supposed Grand-daughter of Noah, Cessair, the Tuatha De Dannon, and the ever present giants, The Fomorians. After that, they get into the Secret Commonwealth of the Faeries and how they relate to the God's of Ireland. They get into a discussion about Celtic Christianity and how it incorporates in the good, true, and beautiful parts of Celtic pre-Christian culture. They conclude the episode talking about the liturgics and rituals of Ireland, which lands them right on the doorstep of Halloween!

You're gonna have to tune in October 13th to hear the continuation and application of this conversation!
