POPULARITY
Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast. And another wonderful collaboration episode. In these sporadic episodes, we're fortunate enough to collaborate with a few very special musicians. We're a fan of their work and they also happen to be a fan of ours. We have always been grateful for any collaborations we have created, performed and worked on with other artists. And since music has always been a backbone to our stories, we decided to take a few people up on their offers to collaborate on a few stories. In this episode, Sorcha Tells the story of the coming of the Sons of Mil, and the song of Amergin. And Jenny Ní Rusiéil's beautiful melody floats throughout it with haunting vocals to add to the atmosphere. Just wait till the song at the end! It is inspired by the song of Amergin, and she blended in her musicality to back Sorcha's telling of this story. For more on Jenny follow her links here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4R0J286gbSHVakV3wf1Ben?si=Nkmz5Q5lTuyFe97YJMRuqw https://www.instagram.com/jennybean108?igsh=MWNkcGZ3dW9kdjhuZA== Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen.

Donald Macleod marks Composer of the Week's 80th anniversary Composer of the Week has been produced in Cardiff since 1999 so it's fitting that Donald is celebrating Welsh composers in this anniversary series.

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to this Mythic Places Series. In this series, we're taking a look at some of the most iconic locations in Ireland, and the stories and myths attached to them. In this episode, we're talking about two stories that take place close together, in a mythic landscape that we've only scratched the surface of: Kerry. We'll talk about the story of Mis and Dubh Ris, and about the story that Aron is going to tell next week. We write our stories by talking them out together, and you can hear that process in this podcast. Aron mentions the story of Amergin in this episode, you'll find that story in Episode 126: Invasions - the Island of Eiriú. https://youtu.be/Z6deSbkVruA 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/ Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen.

In celebration of the Ides of March (which marks the full moon) and in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I read poems about the moon and about Ireland by Irish poets: William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Seamus Heaney, Eavan Boland, Amergin as translated by Lady Gregory, and Derek Mahon. I end the program with poems from my book St. Brigid's Well, written on and about the West Coast of Ireland.

This week we talk to our first ever superhero guest and for some reason everyone was angry.
Interim Editor of A Moment of Cerebus (http://momentofcerebus.blogspot.com/) Matt Dow is once again joined in conversation by Dave Sim, creator of Cerebus. This month Dave discusses: Time (the recording starts in the middle of this. Basically Dave called Matt too early because Dave's clocks aren't all set right.), renovations to The Off-White House, the Remastered Spawn #10 Kickstarter (COIMING SOON!), Why Cerebus ran for 26 years, Unauthorized Cerebus pewter miniatures from Citadel, What one piece of Art Dave would like to own (and why), Matt Wagner and Diana Schutz, the Song of Amergin and Mothers & Daughters, Why so many editions of High Society, and Cerebus Fandom.

Simone Kearney was born in Dublin, Ireland, and grew up there until moving to the United States as a teenager. Moving countries foregrounded the spaces in-between, acts of navigation. The friction of what might not quite align promulgates kinds of foam. I live in New York City, make work in my studio and in my bed, walk, teach, collaborate, act in my friend’s plays sometimes, make visual translations or write poems in response to their work. I’m currently reading Etel Adnan, Jorge Luis Borges, Clarice Lispector, and thinking about the relationship between enigmas and volume. Can an enigma sag?

To seek the truth – Die Wahrheit suchen Wer dem Wappenspruch der irischen McSheas befolgt, lebt gefährlich. Als Jolanda von ihrem totgeglaubten Vater ein Herrenhaus erbt, ist sie außer sich. Wieso hat ihre Mutter nie von ihrem irischen Vater gesprochen? Kaum in Irland angekommen, häufen sich die mysteriösen Vorfälle. Wer will sie glauben lassen, dass der Geist der verstorbenen Lady Eliza keine andere Frau auf Amergin Manor duldet? Ist es der unnahbare Verwalter Farell, oder gar der charmante Künstler Jason? Joanda will das nicht wahrhaben, vor allem, weil sie gerade dabei ist, ihr Herz in Irland zu verlieren… Aber wer versucht dann, sie in den Irrsinn zu treiben – oder gar in den Tod? Antonia Günder-Freytag, 1970 geboren, schreibt Thriller, Kriminalromane, historische Romane und Fantasy. Ihr Motto – Nichts ist tödlicher als Routine – ist Programm. Nach ihrem Debüt als Fantasy-Autorin, schrieb sie zunächst eine klassische fünfteilige Kriminalromanenreihe, die in München spielt. Da ihr Vater in Irland/Donegal lebte, lag es nahe, dort den Herrenhaus-Thriller Die Lüge von Amergin Manor spielen zu lassen. Sie arbeitet im Moment an der Fortsetzung, die noch dieses Jahr erscheint. Zudem können sich die Leser auf ein Mittelalterepos freuen. Sie lebt mit ihrer Familie, drei Minishettys und ihrem Hund in München, hasst Schubladen, liebt Gummibärchen und findet knarrende Treppenstufen herrlich.

Conchúir or Conchobar mac Nessa (son of Ness) was the king of Ulster in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. He ruled from Emain Macha (Navan Fort, near Armagh). There are several versions of how Conchobar was conceived. In the earliest, Ness, daughter of Eochaid Sálbuide, the then king of Ulster, asks the druid Cathbad what it is an auspicious time for. Cathbad replies, "for begetting a king on a queen". There are no other men around, so Ness takes Cathbad to bed and conceives a son. In a later version, Ness is brought up by twelve foster-fathers, and while all twelve are at a feast, Cathbad, leading a fian or landless war-band, attacks the house and kills them all. Eochaid is unable to avenge them as the culprit cannot be identified, so Ness forms her own fian to hunt Cathbad down. But while she is bathing alone in a pool, Cathbad appears, stands between her and her weapons, and bares his sword. He spares her life on the condition that she becomes his wife. They settle near a river called Conchobar, and Ness soon conceives a son, but in this version the father is the High King Fachtna Fáthach, who is Ness's lover. As she and Cathbad set out to visit Fachtna, Ness goes into labour. Cathbad tells her if she can manage not to give birth until the following day, her son will be a great king and have everlasting fame, for he will be born on the same day as Jesus Christ. Ness sits on a flagstone by the river Conchobar, and the following morning gives birth. The baby falls into the river, but Cathbad lifts him out, names him Conchobar after the river, and brings him up as his own son. Conchobar becomes king By the time Conchobar is seven, Fergus mac Róich is king of Ulster, and falls in love with Ness. She agrees to become his wife, on one condition: that Fergus allows Conchobar to be king for a year, so his children will be called the sons of a king (under Medieval Irish law inheritance passed through the male line, and only those who had a king as a male-line ancestor were eligible for kingship). The nobles of Ulster advise Fergus that this will not affect his standing with them, as the boy will be king in name only, so he agrees. But Conchobar, advised by his mother, rules so well that by the end of the year it's decided he should be king permanently. Fergus makes an alliance with the new High King, Eochu Feidlech, and they make war on Ulster. After a series of bloody battles, Conchobar makes overtures for peace. Fergus is offered land, the Champion's Portion at Emain Macha, and the position of Conchobar's heir. Conchobar demands compensation from Eochu for the killing of his father, Fachtna Fáthach, and is granted land, status and the High King's daughter in marriage. Marriages and family Conchobar marries several of Eochu's daughters. Medb, later queen of Connacht, is the first. She bears him a son called Amalgad, but soon leaves him. Her sister Eithne conceives a son by him, but Medb murders her by drowning her in a stream. Her son Furbaide is delivered by posthumous Caesarian section. Mugain bears him a son called Glaisne and remains his chief wife. The mother of Conchobar's eldest son, Cormac Cond Longas, is either Eochu's daughter Clothru or Conchobar's own mother Ness. Cormac is given to Fergus mac Róich to foster. His other sons include Cúscraid Mend Macha and Folloman.

Amergin by The Dolmen THE DOLMEN … A Storm has washed over Europe. Every so often, a band comes out of the Celtic heartlands, takes the musical audience by the throat and shakes it hard. And guess what, it’s about to happen again. The ever popular Celtic Folk-Rock scene in the UK has served up a real rough diamond, THE DOLMEN, a gig-hardened bunch of piratical rebel-rousers from the clan-lands, whose music and live performances have become the stuff of tribal legend, being both unique and very addictive. In 2011 they take this raw energy to mainland Europe. We are very proud to bring you one of their powerful, atavistic earlier tracks, Amergin from their album Songs from the Druids of Stonehenge.

The Song of Amergin - Lyrics I am a wind in the sea I am a sea-wave upon the land I am the sound of the sea I am a stag of seven combats I am a hawk upon a cliff I am a tear-drop of the sun I am the fairest of flowers I am a boar for valour I am a salmon in a pool I am a lake in a plain I am the excellence of arts I am a spear that wages battle with plunder. I am a god who forms subjects Who explains the stones of the mountains? Who invokes the ages of the moon? Where lies the setting of the sun? Who bears cattle from the house of Tethra? Who are the cattle of Tethra who laugh? What man, what god forms weapons? Indeed, then; I invoked a poet... a poet of wind. There are many different translations of The Song of Amergin, which is perhaps the best known piece of all ancient Celtic poetry. With great thanks to the inestimable Mary Jones for her enthusiasm and scholarship, we can present what is possibly the best translation of the earliest transcription. Mary has also written and excellent and thought provoking piece about some of the symbolism in the poem which can be found along with some of the other translations that we found in our Resources section.
