Irish Mythology Podcast

The Milesians are here!

Discover the mythical ancestors of the Gaelic Irish and their journey from the city known today as A Coruña in Galicia.

Íth, Míl and their crew have set sail for the island from Íth’s vision but the sea and the gods who govern it have other ideas. Before they reach their destination they must weather a deadly storm, and even then, the island beyond the waves is not exactly welcoming. 

We talk about the euhemerising and re-enchanting myth, the archaeology and genetics of Neolithic and early Bronze Age Ireland, the Dingle Peninsula, Peig, languages of Ireland, and the stray sod .

The Milesians are coming!

Discover the mythical ancestors of the Gaelic Irish and their journey from the city known today as A Coruña in Galicia.

Íth sees a mysterious island across the sea from atop his father's tower in the north west Iberian settlement of Brigantia. Despite the discouragement of the elders, he and his nephew Míl forge a plan to sail to this magical land that one day will be known as Ireland.

We talk about the Book of Invasions, real life prehistoric migrations, the place lore of Galicia, the camino, generational conflict and, unlikely church music.

The episode contains some explicit content. 

The Dagda is on a mission. He travels to the west to scout the invading Fomorian armies, but it's not all business for the supreme father. On his way, he meets up with The Morrígan for their annual tryst and later on, he hooks up with an unlikely lover. All's fair in love, war and sorcery. 

We talk censorship, sex in mythology, the Tao of The Dagda, Ancient Mesopotamian smut and the Greek god Pan.
