In this deep dive into Irish mythology, Jon O'Sullivan of the Irish Pagan School explores the influence of the Otherworld on the legendary events of the Táin Bó Cuailnge (Cattle Raid of Cooley). While the Ulster Cycle is often seen as a story of human heroes and battles, there's an undeniable presence of Otherworldly forces shaping the narrative.
Jon discusses how figures such as Macha, the Morrigan, and even the bulls themselves tie into the supernatural realm, impacting characters like Cú Chulainn and the entire course of the saga. Discover how these mystical elements influence Ireland’s most famous epic and the role the gods and Otherworld entities play in shaping the fate of heroes.
