The initial goal was to fund our 2025 Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast album. Happily that goal was reached within three days of the start of the campaign. Now we have a secondary stretch goal to fund the… IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET This is a one - day music festival and arts market that will take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026 at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA, 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. There are four bands performing at the festival. I am performing one show solo and one show with May Will Bloom, where my daughter takes the lead. Kinfolk will join us as well as I mentioned last week. But the final band performing at the festival is a 3 - piece version of The Muckers, our local Celtic punk band. That will complete our lineup. Follow our event page on Facebook for more details. Or Follow us for Free on our Patreon page. Now my next goal is to raise $3200 so that all of the bands are paid a decent wage and to promote our first - ever Celtic festival. To that end, I added three new rewards for Kickstarter. Each is a chance to sponsor individual bands at the festival. When you do, you'll get one of the first album pins from each of these amazing Celtic bands. That's because we are highlighting album pins at the festival as well, as another means to promote the music of bands. Our album pins are wooden lapel pins themed to a particular album released by a band. The buyer gets a digital download of the album, then they can wear their album! There's just 8 days left on this Kickstarter. So please make a pledge to support Celtic culture through music. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Celtic Shamanism with Rhonda McCrimmon In this rich and grounding episode, we step into the ancient roots of Celtic Shamanism with Rhonda McCrimmon, teacher, practitioner, author and keeper of living Celtic wisdom. Together, we explore what Celtic Shamanism truly is (and what it is not), how it differs from modern eclectic practices, and why honoring lineage, land, and ancestry matters now more than ever. Rhonda shares insights into working with the Otherworld, ancestral connection, sovereignty, and the rhythms of nature that shape Celtic spiritual practice. We discuss the role of myth, devotion, and relationship with the land, as well as how contemporary seekers can approach Celtic paths with integrity, respect, and depth.   This conversation is an invitation to remember your roots, your relationship to the unseen, and the quiet power of walking an ancient path with presence and humility.   Connect with Rhonda at :   https://centreforshamanism.com/ https://www.instagram.com/centreforshamanism/   Visit Patty's Website: www.wingandaether.com or www.pdavispsychic.com   Follow our instagram:  @spiritspeakerspodcast                                Follow Patty's instagram:  @wingandaether

On the podcast this week we explore Niamh's favourite primary source material: hagiography! We are joined by the multilingual Dr Sarah Waidler, of Glucksman Ireland House, NYU, expert in medieval Celtic languages including Irish and Welsh. Sarah guides us through these fascinating religious texts which were arguably the most popular literary genre in the 'European' Middle Ages and how Irish hagiography fits into this wider community. From warring saints to moving house miracles we learn what these texts can tell us about medieval people and society.Suggested reading:James Palmer,  Early Medieval Hagiography (Amsterdam University Press, 2018).S.

There's a chill in the air on this midwinter day — and a warm, mouth-watering aroma wafting from the kitchen. That's right: the Lutheran Ladies are brewing up savory pots of soup in an all-new Iron Ladle Challenge! Erin leads off with a Finnish salmon soup (lohikeitto) that leaves her co-hosts drooling. Rachel then shares a trio of seasonally appropriate soups: seafood chowder for holiday decadence, “feel-better soup” for post-holiday recovery, and curried butternut soup (AKA sunshine soup) for midwinter malaise. Finally, Sarah shares her foolproof formula for improving the perfect, healthful (Instant Pot) soup every time. Finnish Salmon Soup (Lohikeitto) (From Erin) Serves 4-6 Ingredients: 1# salmon fillet 2T butter 1 large leek, sliced .25# mushrooms, thinly sliced 8 cups chicken stock or bone broth, divided 1 jar clam juice .5# russet potatoes, peeled and diced 1 lg carrot, sliced 1t whole allspice Fish sauce for salt .5# bag frozen kale (or 1 large bunch of fresh kale) (spinach is too delicate) 10g fresh dill, finely chopped, divided 4-8 tablespoons heavy cream Instructions: Heat 4 cups of stock and gently poach the salmon fillets until just cooked. Remove the salmon to a plate and reserve the salmon broth. When fillets are cool cool, remove and discard the skin. Meanwhile, melt butter in a soup pot and saute the leeks and mushrooms for ~10 minutes. Add all of the stock (4 c from salmon and 4 c remaining) to the pan with the leeks and mushrooms, along with the potatoes, carrots, allspice, and half of the fresh dill. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Add the kale and return to a simmer. Stir in a couple of dashes of fish sauce for salt (less than 1 teaspoon). Add the salmon pieces to the soup and gently heat until warmed through, just a few minutes.  Add cream, the remaining dill, and salt and pepper to taste. If Freezing (you will use less stock initially) Heat 4 c stock and gently poach the salmon fillets until just cooked. Remove the salmon to a plate and reserve the salmon broth. When fillets are cool cool, remove and discard the skin. Meanwhile, melt butter in a soup pot and saute the leeks and mushrooms for ~10 minutes. Add the 4 c salmon broth to the pot with the leeks and mushrooms, along with the potatoes, carrots, and allspice. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Add a couple of dashes of fish sauce (less than 1 teaspoon). Strain the vegetables, reserving broth until cool. Divide among 4 freezer containers: Poached salmon Frozen kale and dill. 2oz clam juice/container Vegetables (kale, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots Broth (start with ¾ cup, and distribute the remaining) To serve, heat on the stove until hot, adding a 1 cup container of bone broth to fill out the rest of the broth. While soup is reheating, put a small puddle of cream (1-2 tablespoons) in soup bowl and slowly add hot soup. Seafood Chowder (From Rachel) HT Cari Haan Saute together over medium heat for approx 5 minutes: 1 stick of butter 1/2 onion - diced 1 tsp garlic salt or powder 1/2 tsp thyme Mix in: 1/2 cup flour 1 cup half 'n' half 2 cups milk 4 oz (half block) of cream cheese (softened in microwave) 1 can cream of potato soup 1/2 tsp black pepper 8 oz. can of minced clams (with juice) 8 oz can of tiny shrimp (with juice) 16 oz of flaked crab broken up in desired sized pieces (I use the artificial crab meat) 16 oz of frozen salad-sized (extra small) shrimp (May add milk as needed for desired consistency . . . will need to do this when heating leftovers) Heat until hot throughout. Serve with oyster crackers and shredded Cheddar cheese. Note: May substitute or add additional seafood as desired. The more you put in, the tastier it gets. :) Rachel's Feel Better Soup Note: quantities are approximate. I rarely measure anything for this recipe. Saute in 2 T olive oil: 1 lb. diced chicken 1 c diced celery 1 c diced carrots Cook until chicken is browned and vegetables are beginning to soften. Add 2-4 cups chopped cabbage and/or kale. Cook lightly. Add 4-6 cups chicken broth or an equivalent combo of bullion and water. Add salt, thyme, and turmeric to taste. Add starch of your choice: barley, rice, or noodles. Cook through. Serve with warm tortillas or crusty bread. Curried Butternut Squash Soup (From Rachel) Halve, remove seeds, and oven roast one butternut squash, upside down in a little water. (350 oven for about an hour or until soft throughout) Cool slightly, then use a tablespoon to remove squash from peels Use blender, immersion blender, or foley mill to puree squash In saucepan, combine squash puree with chicken broth (approx. 2 cups), 1 can unsweetened coconut milk, and 1-2 cubes of Golden Curry flavor. Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are blended and soup is hot. Do not boil. Non-curry option: Use whole milk instead of coconut milk, and flavor with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, or other favorite seasoning. Sarah's Instant Pot Soup Formula Single serving 4(ish)oz meat (beef, chicken, salmon, etc) 8oz baby carrots 4oz green beans or peas (or other legume) 50g cabbage (or a handful lol) 2oz butternut squash 1 Tbs olive oil 1 cup water 2 tsp Celtic gray salt (or to taste) black pepper Brown meat (not necessary with fish) in olive oil. Place all ingredients in Instant Pot. Steam for 0 minutes (will vary by IP make/model) Instant pressure release.

In this episode, the witches welcome the quiet, hopeful turning of the wheel with a deep dive into Imbolc, the ancient Celtic festival that marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Traditionally celebrated around February 1st and 2nd, Imbolc is a threshold moment, when the land is still cold and dark, but the return of the light has begun. Laylla and Chelle explore Imbolc's roots, its meaning of “in the belly,” and its long association with new life, purification, and preparation.They talk about the goddess Brigid, her sacred flame, poetry, prophecy, and craft, as well as her deep connections to hearth, milk, and inspiration. The conversation also weaves in other powerful figures of the season, including the Cailleach, whose weather on Imbolc foretells the length of winter, and Danu, whose fertile waters and ancient presence remind us that life is already stirring beneath the surface. From there, the episode turns practical. Laylla and Chelle talk about how to celebrate Imbolc today, from candle magic to house cleansing and protection work. They explore why cleaning and warding at Imbolc is so powerful, especially when the festival aligns with a full moon, and share a wealth of simple but potent practices including ritual sweeping, boundary-setting, witch bottles, mirror wards, eggshell protection, and working with house spirits.The episode also includes a detailed look at Brigid's Fire Tarot Spread, a ten-card layout shaped like a rising flame that helps you see what you're building, what's stirring, and what you're truly reaching for as the year unfolds toward Beltane. Grounded, hopeful, and deeply intentional, this episode invites you to tend your inner fire, clear winter's residue, and prepare your space, your spirit, and your magic for the season of growth ahead.Got a question?

In this episode of Andrew H in Conversation, Andrew sits down for an open, thoughtful chat about Celtic, its roots, and what the club has always meant to so many of its supporters. From the very beginning, Celtic was born out of solidarity, community and standing alongside those who needed help most. That spirit still matters to fans today, and it's impossible to talk about modern Celtic culture without touching on the long-standing connection many supporters feel with the Palestinian cause, whether that's through banners, flags, or vocal support from the stands.To chat this through, Andrew is joined by Jill Thomson from Scottish Sport for Palestine.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, we dissect the unconvincing 1-0 victory over Falkirk and ask if the "chaos" has actually left with Wilfried Nancy. James explains why he is "offended as an analyst" by the double standard in how the performance is being judged compared to the previous regime, while Alan praises John McGlynn's "Gasperini-esque" tactics that put Celtic under the most pressure since 2019. We also launch a scathing critique of the "grossly incompetent" transfer strategy, debating why Sean Maloney is being left to run a window he isn't qualified for, and why we desperately need four "competent" signings to save the league title.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Martin O'Neill makes a triumphant second return as Celtic interim manager as Craig Gordon saves all three points for Hearts and Rangers ease past Aberdeen again – it's the weekend debrief. With Jonathan Sutherland, Michael Stewart and Andy Halliday.

Gordon Duncan, Andy Halliday and Roger Hannah are in the studio for more of your views on wins for Celtic, Rangers and Hearts. They also hear fans' thoughts on transfer news, plus dishing out their weekend awards and dissecting some big VAR calls.

Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

While you're there, you'll also find out about the Kickstarter we're launching for an album of the Best Celtic Music of 2025. Find out how You can get involved. ALBUM PINS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE HEAR CELTIC MUSIC I got an email from Discmakers, my CD manufacturer, saying they were forced to raise their prices because of tariffs by our president. This is a tax on Americans. So if you love CDs, remember that the prices will go up. So please support those higher priced CDs. But there is an option for those who don't want to buy CDs and for those who want a better alternative for the environment. It's the Album Pin. Album Pins are lapel pins themed to a particular album. You get a digital download of the album. Then you can wear your album. All of my latest Album Pins are wood - burned and locally produced. This makes them better for the environment. And they are fun and fashionable. If you want to learn more about Album Pins, you can read more about them on my celtfather.Substack.com or just buy one at magerecords.com THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

An activist in Minneapolis tells us about plans to honour the 37-year-old woman shot dead by an ICE agent this morning. It's a shooting government officials insist was done in self-defence.

With the passing of the infamous double agent Aldrich Ames, a journalist who knew him well tells us his motivation wasn't ideological -- but a twisted love story. We hear from a Quebec researcher who learns about how predators and prey move in the wild, through a serious game of adult tag. A marriage proposal on a ski vacation goes downhill fast when the hopeful groom-to-be drops the ring.The sound of war horns once struck fear in the hearts of Roman soldiers facing Celtic warrior tribes -- but we hear from an archeologist who was delighted to discover one of the Iron Age instruments on the site of an English housing development.
