We start of our adventure through the beginnings of Ancient Ireland and explore the life of an Irish Queen who bent reality to her will.

Note: When this episode was recorded, it originally was meant to be for season 6. However, as a result of further research, we decided to start with the Mythological Cycle in Season 6. This is a bonus episode and a taste of the new format beginning in the official Season 6: Irish Mythological Cycle.
