[English version below] “Tá anáil an bhéaloidis le mothú go soiléir san eipic spreagúil, ealaíonta seo. Cuireann scéal an ghiorria ar ár súile go héifeachtach tuiscintí agus tuairimí doimhne ár sinsear i leith an tsaoil agus nádúr an duine – an dá chineál, óg agus aosta, caide agus céilí comhraic. Is figiúr í an chailleach a mhair ar imeall an phobail, díthreabhach a bhí gafa leis an nádúr agus leis an saol eile. Ina ainneoin sin, bhí ról lárnach sa tsochaí aici, ag teacht i gcabhair in am an ghátair, agus ag roinnt eolas praiticiúil agus gaoise go fial ar chách. Coincheap ársa is ea cumas na caillí í féin a chlaochlú, gné shuaithinseach den scéalaíocht ó ré na meánaoise anonn, tréith atá le sonrú go háirithe sna heipicí clasaiceacha, Tochmharc Éadaoine agus Oidhe Chlainne Lir, atá fite go deas fileata isteach i scéal an ghiorria. Sa saothar seo, téann an t-údar i ngreim go meabhrach, físiúil le téamaí suntasacha ón éigse béil, téama atá chomh hábhartha inniu is a bhí riamh”. -An Dr Criostóir Mac Cárthaigh, Cnuasach Bhéaloideas Éireann Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Ailbe van der Heide agus Aedín Ní Thiarnaigh [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] This debut collection of poetry from the Donegal-based writer and linguist Eithne Ní Ghallchobhair addresses Irish nature and a day in the life of a hare.

Ach céard atá i ndán dá cara, Zara, nach bhfuil chomh cliste céanna léi? An gcuirfear chuig Feirm na bhFéatas í le bheith ina síolraitheoir? Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Ailbe van der Heide agus Stiofán Ó Briain [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] It's Year 19 in the New Era.

[English version below] San úrscéal gearr clúiteach seo, insítear scéal Eibinéasair Scrúg, seanchnuastóir crua a dtagann taibhse a sheanchomhghleacaí gnó Iacób Meárlaí ar cuairt chuige, agus taibhsí ón Nollaig a bhí, atá, agus a bheidh. Tar éis a gcuairte, déantar duine níos cineálta agus níos séimhe de Scrúg. Seo é an scéal is cáiliúla riamh faoin Nollaig, agus is ann atá go leor de nósanna na Nollag fréamhaithe — an ghé, an Phutóg Nollag agus an puinse! Ceann de na scéalta Nollag is cáiliúla a scríobhadh riamh. Úrscéal gearr le Charles Dickens is ea Duan na Nollag (A Christmas Carol), a foilsíodh in 1843. Eagrán nua Gaeilge é seo bunaithe ar aistriúchán an fhoclóirí, an tAthair Pádraig Ua Duinnín, agus é athchóirithe do léitheoirí ár linne ag Maitiú Ó Coimín. Is iad seanléaráidí Arthur Rackham atá mar mhaisiúchán ar an leabhar. Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Emily Barnes agus Ailbe van der Heide A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, is one of the world's best-known books. First published in 1843, A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. Duan na Nollag was translated by the famous lexicographer Patrick Dineen, and edited and adapted for young readers by Maitiú Ó Coimín, and this beautifil new hardback edition is beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham.

The Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed on the 6th of December 1921, bringing an end to the 1919-1921 Irish War of Independence. To mark 100 years since the signing of the treaty, I joined my colleague at the National Folklore Collection, Ailbe van der Heide, to discuss her work in researching, editing and transcribing Urban Folklore Project recordings dealing with this tumultuous period of Irish history. The 1979-1980 Urban Folklore Project originated as a Government employment scheme to provide work for university graduates at a time of severe economic recession in 1979-1980. The project was undertaken by the Department of Irish Folklore, University College Dublin, directed by Dr Séamas Ó Catháin, and consists of over 700 tape recorded interviews which today form part of the Natinoal Folklore Collection, University College Dublin. Among the recordings are featured vivid contemporary accounts of the War of Independence as well as material concerning the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Irish Civil War. Join us as we listen to the combatants and bystanders who bore witness to the burnings, raids and guerrilla warfare of the War of Independence, and who worked as part of a hidden network operating under the watchful eye of the crown forces and intelligence services. On 6 December 2021, Ailbe van der Heide and Dr. Críostóir Mac Cárthaigh will be delivering a free online lecture titled 'War of Independence Memories' for the Folklore of Ireland Society.

Seals have been an integral part of coastal life in Ireland for generations, and as such there exists a large body of tradition, belief and narrative regarding them. They were described in tradition as being enchanted people, wise women, fallen angels and drowned (or indeed reincarnated) fishermen, and encounters with them often relate how they would speak to, plead with or warn those fishermen who were about to attack or kill them out at sea or on the shore. Certain families in Ireland (Coneelys, O'Kanes, Dowds, O'Sheas and Gallaghers among them)were considered to have been the result of a union between a mortal and an enchanted seal, and many narrative accounts collected in Ireland describe how such unions came about when a mortal man who came upon a seal-woman in human form on the shore stole her cloak (which allowed her to change form) took her home, married her and had children with her, until one day she discovered her hidden cloak and left her children and husband to return to the sea. For this month's edition of Blúiríní Jonny is joined by Ailbe van der Heide to discuss the topic of seals in folk tradition, join them as they traverse the coasts and islands around Ireland and further afield to consider the interplay between nature, culture, appearance and reality which is brought across by these liminal beings.

Ailbe Astor is the Veteran Services Coordinator at Freedom Service Dogs of America. FSD helps veterans and active-duty military find new levels of confidence and independence with these specially trained dogs. Ailbe went into the Marine Corps right out of high school. Even when he got out, he continued to work with veterans and be around veterans, so he never really had a tough transition period. He is so passionate about matching these wonderful dogs with vets who can benefit from them. He shares a little bit about the program and the rigorous training that the dogs go through. He also shares how the purpose of the dog is to help the client reintegrate into society and do the things that they want to do, not just the same old thing that they have been doing. It’s about freedom and independence. He also talks to us about the process to get a dog, and how he works hard to gain the trust of the vet to make the perfect match. He also shares tips like applying right away. You can always change your mind, because there is a two to three year waiting list. Highlights from This Episode: [00:47] Ailbe served in the Marine Corps in the 90s straight out of high school. [01:25] When he got out, he started working with vets and never stopped. [02:33] One of the toughest parts about transitioning is losing the known entities that you can trust. [02:55] Ailbe is the Veteran Services Coordinator at Freedom Service Dogs of America or like his wife calls him, the dog matcher. [03:07] He meets with veterans and gets to know them a little better before matching them with dogs. [03:52] He wants to match the personalities according to personality, energy, and what the vet does day-to-day. [05:46] The goal of getting the dog is to help the vet reintegrate back into society. Which includes pushing outside of their comfort zone. [06:46] Freedom Service Dogs has been around for 33 years. The founder ended up getting paralyzed in an accident and eventually discovered the benefits of a service dog and wanted to share with others. [08:23] The dogs now help with physical disabilities, PTSD, and people on the spectrum. [09:10] Once they get the dogs they go through an established curriculum. They work with prisoners for two months, and then move on to other training. [10:24] Dogs can help create space in crowds or a bubble. [12:06] They have a very robust group of volunteers at the facility and fosters for the weekend. [13:31] Operation Freedom is an umbrella for any program that serves veterans. [14:31] They take dogs to all of the places that the veterans would go like the grocery store, the VA, and the airport. [15:27] They also send the trainer to the client's home to introduce the dog to environments and replicate anything that they can. [18:27] Ailbe shares a story of a veteran that was able to go to the movies for the first time in years. [21:07] They go all over to find dogs to put into the program. [23:08] There is no shortage of vets in need. They frequently find the program. After therapy and meds, they usually discover service dogs. Many of the people they see have been in treatment for a long time. [25:00] The interview for the potential vet is very intensive. Ailbe really needs to find out who they are and gain their trust to match them to the correct dog. [30:35] The dogs get lifetime support with a trainer. [31:59] The VA is working on a program to offer vouchers for service dogs. They do offer pet coverage. [33:23] Ailbe knows that service dogs add value to the lives of those with PTSD. [36:43] Start the process, the moment you think you might be interested in a service dog. A two to three-year wait can be a devastating piece of information. There's no harm in applying and changing your mind. [38:04] Focus on improving yourself while you're waiting to get your dog.

Anne’s music repertoire spans traditional Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Welsh), English, folk, religious and secular, Early, Renaissance and classical music, to Broadway, contemporary, pop and Jazz, and is virtually unlimited. She can easily provide the traditional “Canon in D” and “Here Comes the Bride” for a wedding processional, and play classic Frank Sinatra or Metallica at a reception. Her ability to faithfully play such a broad range of musical styles has helped to establish her popularity. Visit Anne's website Celtic harp music or find more details on her Contributor Page.

The dream feels so real she must force herself to get a grip. This experience is just the beginning for Eve, a Los Angeles clinical hypnotherapist and researcher investigating whether reincarnation is fact or fiction. Unstoppable visions of an ancient lifetime steal days from her. The danger escalates when she wakes up physically injured and marked with a strange symbol. While Eve battles the past to maintain her sanity and safety, her project is jeopardized as another researcher’s attempts to take over. One partner dies and another is accused of inappropriate conduct. Eve and her friend, Dr. Andrea McMurray, don’t believe in coincidence and probe their shared visions for answers. On the other side of the Atlantic, Welshman Ryerson Sanders is haunted by his dreams and believes Eve’s research project can help him. For both of them, an ancient Celtic prophecy and long-sought revenge entangles the past with the present. A druidess and a shape-shifter must join to save the druid way of life, while a queen conspires to kill Erin’s only high king. Will the oaths and agendas of the past reach across the centuries to strengthen or to destroy? Find the book at Podiobooks.com and at themarkofadruid.com.
