What if the stories of our ancestors are still shaping us - and still shaping the dogs who walk beside us?

In this Samhain-timed episode of Mystic Dog Mama, I sit down with Irish mythologist and anthropologist Jen Murphy, founder of The Celtic Creatives. Rooted in her grandmother’s storytelling and decades of study in Celtic mythology, anthropology, and Jungian psychology, Jen helps people remember their shining soul by bringing ancient wisdom into modern life.

Together, we explore:

🌑 What it means to be a modern mystic
🔥 How Irish myth and folklore reconnect us to our roots
🍂 Samhain and the Celtic Wheel of the Year - and why this season matters
✨ Simple, meaningful ways to honour the seasons in everyday life
🐾 The mythic role of the hound and how dogs guide us spiritually
🌙 Dreamwork, archetypes, and living with a story that supports your soul
💚 Re-centring the sacred in the ordinary

This conversation is rich, warm, and rooted in belonging - a perfect listen as the veil thins and we turn inward with our dogs curled at our feet. 🐕✨

Jen Murphy is an Irish mythologist, anthropologist and founder of The Celtic Creatives. A Dubliner born and bred, from the time she could talk, Jen's grandmother Frances O'Sullivan filled her ears with tales from Irish myth and folklore, fuelling a now 40-year fascination with the stories of her lineage. Jen's apprenticeship to following her soul's breadcrumbs has guided her formal studies in Medieval Irish and Celtic Studies, Anthropology, and Jungian Psychology. Jen supports people to remember that they have a shining soul, to dream Celtic spirituality into their modern lives by making the Celtic soul a living aesthetic—centring the soul in the everyday experience of life—through mythwork, dreamwork, and the body.
