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’re getting into spooky season with a sinister take on the changelingstories, inspired by a tale in a collection by Lady Jane Wilde. Sadness and loss were always in Ireland, and the changeling gave an explanation to the loss of innocent children when no other explanations could be found.

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.

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: https://gaelicwoodlandproject.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gaelicwoodlandproject?igsh=cHpla3JrY2NxNmYx You can find out more about Spirit Horse here: https://www.spirithorse.co.uk This podcast is proudly sponsored by the people who donate to us each month via https://www.patreon.com/candlelittales and anyone who sends us a once-off donation through the Paypal button on our website http://candlelittales.ie/

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.

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 are taking a break from the current Fianna Saga, to bring you as special episodes to tie in with the Celtic Wheel of the Year, and the upcoming Imbolg Festival. So this story is based around The Goddess & The Saint Brigid, as we celebrated Imbolg last year for ‘Brigid 1500’ a beautiful festival commemorating anniversary of the birth this Saint. This show was funded by Louth Co. Council and recorded in the beautifully renovated Orela Centre in Dundalk, Co. louth, the Birthplace of Brigid.
