Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our Fianna Saga. This story introduces one of the great heroes of the next generation of the Fianna, a man who grew up with this wild company, and whose fate was sealed in his childhood: Diarmuid Ui Duibhne. This is the origin of the great hero who came from a fierce mother, and a begrudging and cantankerous father, whose folly and jealousy laid the trap that would eventually catch up with his only son Diarmuid.
Please note that the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains mentions of divorce, child death and physical transformation..

Time to rejoin Sorcha for another whistle-stop tour of Irish Myths and Traditions, in this episode of Irish Myths Explained. This time she'll be telling us all about Cú Chulainn, the legendary character of Irish mythology, and his short but very full life.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This podcast includes Sorcha’s idea of what jokes are, which may be painfully cringe for some listeners/viewers.

Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our Fianna Saga. This story centres on one of the great heroes in the Fianna: Goll Mac Morna. It takes place out west, and it is as much a tale of undying loyalty as it is of begrudging friendship and respect. It is a tale of the dark side of the Fae, and the traps that can be laid in their Sídh mounds. The Caves of Kesh are a beautiful reminder today of the legacy of legend that we have on the Emerald Isles. A reminder of why we must treat our wild native lads with the respect they deserve and demand.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains mentions of death, fighting physical abnormalities..

Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our Fianna Saga. This is the story of a man who is not part of the Fianna, but stands outside it, watching. Lugaid is connected with another great figure from Irish Mythology, Cormac Mac Airt, who we focused on in our HIgh King series last year. Lugaid’s is a love story, and as always with Irish mythology, there’s a twist in the tale.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains allusions to loss of bodily autonomy, physical transformation, kidnapping, and pregnancy.

SIGN UP TO OUR FREE STORYTELLING WORKSHOP THIS WEEKEND! Sunday 30th of March, 2025, at 6pm for a taste of our upcoming courses: https://candlelittales.ie/free-webinar-signup
Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast.
This episode is a conversation Aron Hegarty had in January 2025, with the Founder of the Gaelic Woodland Project, Eoghan Connoughtan, who we’ve had on the podcast before and another fascinating character, who uses ritual, storytelling and mythology in a unique way: Shivam O’Brien, the founder of Spirit Horse in Wales.
Spirit Horse hosts retreats and ritual gatherings in 200 acres of land that has been allowed to rewild in Wales after being purchased in the mid 90’s. Spirit Horse is now a ceremonial village of yurts and Celtic roundhouses set amongst waterfalls and mountains.
Under Shivam's direction, ancient values, ritual, meditation, storytelling, tribal living, the performing arts, touching the earth and creative rebellion came to provide the backbone for this ongoing experiment in the rewilding of people, land and culture.
The Gaelic Woodland is a social experiment, whose main objective was to create native woodlands and protect the existing woodlands on the Island of Ireland.
This conversation was recorded in January 2025 in Galway at Shivam’s home. As he wanted to talk to Eoghan and Aron about the shared mindset between Candlelit Tales, Spirit Horse and the Gaelic Woodland Project..
The GWP are now preparing to plant their 11 acres in Mayo with native trees. All donations to the charity go towards ecological respiration in Ireland. The GWP is still raising funds to buy more land, and to plant more trees.
Eoghan and Aron are on the board of the GWP, which is hugely collaborative, inclusive and focused on skill sharing. The community is a beautiful one to be part of, and if you'd like to learn more about the GWP, follow the links below:

Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our series on the Fianna, the Fianna Saga. This story focuses on the thin grey man of the Fianna, who outlived the rest of the Fianna and became a legend in his own right. Caoilte has many stories, and we have told a few of them before in a live show recording in episode 102. So we decided to tell a trio of tales that he was heavily involved in. With the backdrop of the hall of the Kings in winter, settle in to hear Aron tell these tales to warm up our appetites for the Spring to begin.
