  • Episode 92: Irish Mythology Special: Fire in the Sky read by Aoife McMahon
    May 21 2025

    This episode is the second in a series celebrating the audiobook release of Irish Mythology: The Children of Danu, narrated by Aoife McMahon and Aidan Kelly, available exclusively from Audible.

    Over three episodes I'll share the first three chapters of the book, recounting the arrival in Ireland of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. This chapter is read by Aoife McMahon.

    In the introduction to the book, I explain how the Irish Mythological Cycle tells of six invasions into Ireland. The first four are extremely sparse and briefly told, so I recount them in the prologue before moving on the fifth invasion, that of the Tuatha. This short chapter sets up for the first major battle between the Tuatha and the native Firbolgs, which is covered in the next chapter, The First Battle of Moytura.

    The book is available now from Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books and Barnes & Noble, and as an audiobook exclusively from Audible. It will soon be available as a paperback to order from independent bookshops (estimate late June 2025).

Their captain at the height of their fame was a man named Finn MacCool, and in this story, Finn leads his men on a hunt on which something magical and mysterious takes place, which isn’t unusual for these stories.

  • Episode 89: The Fire Spirit
    Jan 19 2025

    Today’s story comes from the Selkup people of Siberia. It’s one I recorded a few years back for my patrons and wanted to share with you this January.

    It's an animistic tale about respect for the spirit of fire, coming from people who live in some of the harshest conditions on the planet.
