We're back with the great Swami Moriarty – Ireland’s Ram Dass, our very own Terence McKenna. Wondering what Yeats would have made of him. Would he have thought he had stumbled upon an actual druid? Had him plucked, stuffed and mounted in the National Museum?
So many big questions in such a short space of time, such as are there bulbs of emerald green consciousness within us? And what to do with a woman from a wagon dressed in a shawl of all her chakras?

mercredi 18 septembre 2024 • Duration 08:35
'All ground is holy ground,' says the great John Moriarty, the great Kerryman who was half-carnival huckster, half bottle-eyed druid, with a little bit of narcissistic Catholic bishop thrown in. Listen up as he tells us to 'come home to earth' and to 'enfranchise the universe'. Where else would you get it?
