House of Legends: World Myths & Legends

This episodes features a story told Sorcha Hegarty. Sorcha co-hosts the Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast with her brother Aron. She and Aron co-authored Celtic Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook and regularly give live performances across Ireland and further afield. 

Sorcha also teaches on my retreat and year course so it was high time to have her tell a story on House of Legends. 

Learn more about Candlelit Tales and the rest of her work at her website.
