N'oubliez pas de mettre une note à cette mini-capsule ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pour continuer l'exploration: Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee: https://fr.tipeee.com/les-capsules-dolen Ou sur Utip: https://utip.io/lescapsulesdolen  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lescapsulesdolen  DESCRIPTION: "Le cycle d'Ulster" est un ensemble de textes épiques irlandais en prose, dont l'essentiel est formé par un ensemble de récits: la Tain Bo Cualnge. Le manuscrit le plus ancien s'appelle "Le Livre de la Vache Grise", et date du XIIème siècle, mais l'histoire elle-même trouve ses origines au VIIème ou VIIIème siècle. Ecrit à l'origine dans un environnement chrétien, le récit a sans doute subi des altérations mais il conserve un grand intérêt mythologique: le héros guerrier Cuchulainn défend la cause ulstérienne, tandis que la déesse-reine Medb gouverne le Connach. La destinée des deux royaumes se trouve entre les mains de Morrigane, déesse de la mort et de la destruction. On remarque d'abord la représentation particulière de la reine Medb: c'est une femme jalouse des possessions de son mari, au point de soulever une large armée et partir en guerre pour satisfaire ses désirs. Elle use ensuite de magie, de manipulations et autres fourberies pour tenter de séduire son opposant. Elle est décrite comme une très mauvaise stratège militaire, et c'est son mari Ailill qui parvient à lui faire entendre raison. Plus globalement, ce récit met en scène deux animaux aux pouvoirs surnaturels.  Le combat entre le taureau brun (Donn) et le taureau à cornes blanches (Finnbennacht) symbolise la lutte longue, et stérile, entre Ulster et Connacht, les deux provinces les plus au nord de l'ancienne Irlande. C'est du moins l'interprétation qu'en fait le docteur en Etudes celtiques Dimitri Boekhoorn dans sa thèse sur « Le bestiaire mythique et légendaire dans la tradition celte » nous permet de remarquer encore une fois l'importance de la figure taurine dans cette civilisation. En effet même s'il paraît évident que les deux taureaux incarnent la richesse et des objets de prestige on peut également y voir un symbolisme territorial. C'est-à-dire que le Brun de Cuailnge serait en fait le « seigneur » du royaume d'Ulster.  La longue rivalité entre les deux provinces est suggérée par le fait que les deux taureaux ont déjà tenté de régler leur différend sous diverses apparences.  Et en s'emparant de ce taureau fantastique la Reine ne ferait que s'assurer d'une surpuissante souveraineté, élargissant son autorité.  Emblème royal par excellence qui représente un idéal de sacrifice et de virilité, le taureau celte incarne sans nul doute les valeurs premières d'une civilisation qui n'eut de cesse que de cultiver son brillant esprit belligérant à travers contes et légendes fantastiques...

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to this 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. This episode we are talking about the Cailleach again. The Cailleach Beara offered her love, and her longing to the youthful CuChulainn. If you go to the lighthouse at Loop Head in County Clare, you will see a stone stack off to the side of the cliff. It's known to be the location where the Cailleach leapt after Cuchulainn, who was running away from her and fell to her death. The Story might hold more significance than you might first perceive. The King Nial of the Nine Hostages lay down with the Cailleach. The King had no problem being mature enough to see past her features and see her inner beauty. Could this mean more for the young boy warrior? The Greatest warrior of all time, Cuchulainn… was also a boy that never matured. And he certainly never slept with the Ceailleach.

Queen Maeve's Cairn, Knocknarea GPS Location: 54.272091, -8.47533 Narrators: Mary Murphy and Sean McMahon 325 metres high overlooking Yeats country is this imposing megalithic tomb to the legendary Maeve, Queen of Connacht. The great mound of stones on top of Knocknarea's flat-topped summit is known as Miosgan Meadhbha or Maeve's Grave. Maeve is one of the primary characters in the Taín, one of Ireland's most famous legends which concerns Cuchulainn, who defends Ulster against Maeve's attack. There are many indications that Maeve was in fact a goddess of sovereignty, one of the group of Irish female deities of war, territory and sexuality. The legend of her death is quite bizarre, as an 11th century text explains that she was killed by a sling-shot consisting of a lump of hard cheese, by her nephew on the shores of Lough Ree! We reference Carrowmore in the audio and if it appeals, here are the GPS coordinates: Location: 54.250931, -8.51908 If skipping Carrowmore and going direct to Ballysadare Bridge, here are the GPS coordinates: GPS Location: 54.209507, -8.509383 Look out for the Yeats poem 'Red Hanrahan's song about Ireland' which references Knocknarea and Maeve's cairn. Yeats also penned the following poem about Maeve: - Excerpt from The Old Age of Queen Maeve (from In the Seven Woods, Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age, 1903) Maeve the great queen was pacing to and fro, Between the walls covered with beaten bronze, In her high house at Cruachan; the long hearth, Flickering with ash and hazel, but half showed Where the tired horse-boys lay upon the rushes, Or on the benches underneath the walls, In comfortable sleep; all living slept But that great queen, who more than half the night Had paced from door to fire and fire to door. Though now in her old age, in her young age She had been beautiful in that old way That's all but gone; for the proud heart is gone, And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all But Soft beauty and indolent desire. She could have called over the rim of the world Whatever woman's lover had hit her fancy, And yet had been great-bodied and great-limbed, Fashioned to be the mother of strong children; And she'd had lucky eyes and high heart, And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax, At need, and made her beautiful and fierce, Sudden and laughing. Full version of the poem can be found here.  http://www.online-literature.com/yeats/792/

Two poems, written some years apart. The modern admiration for the action hero seems like a childish escape into fantasy, until you realise the implications. Real heroism, the courage to keep going on a daily basis where there is no simple victory, no cheering crowd, no prize, goes unnoticed. These heroics number one is takes from I'll Howl before you bury me. These heroics number two from Rough spun to Close Weave. Both are still available from www.liamguilar.com (A note on pronunciation. There are at least two ways of pronouncing Cuchulainn. I naturalised mine from Irish speakers I grew up with. At university I was told: ‘Oh Guilar, you mean Cah Hool lin'. He said it in such a patronising way, in his bow tie English Accent, that I have stuck with what I started with. )

She was related to Conchubar Mac Nessa through their father, Cathbad, but grew up in Connaught with her mother and her brother, Cet. She was married to the warrior poet of Ulster, Amairgin. She wet-nursed Cuchulainn in his infancy. And she was the mother of Ulster's other great warrior, Conall Cearnach. This is her story. This story is told by Sorcha.

We look at Finn's birth and how he became leader of the Fianna, how he pursued Diarmuid and Gráinne in his old age, and how his son Oisín travelled to the Land of Youth. All this is mixed in with various rants, side topics, and references to samurai for some reason.  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

If you missed episode 132 of this series, have a listen before this episode to avoid spoilers, or after if you prefer. The next two episodes will be more post show chats about the previous stories in this series. For now, Lonan Jenkins tells us what inspired him to remaster the ending of ‘Sleeping Beauty' and what the story as a whole means to him.

If you enjoyed this conversation or thought of something we didn't mention, please let us know. For this new series, ‘Echoes', we have teamed up with London-based Storytelling Company ‘The Embers Collective', who tell global folktales and myths set to live music. They gave us three stories, and we found the Irish equivalent. We chose stories that we thought ‘echoed' something intrinsic in these stories, and while not always obvious at first, we hope you agree there is a subtle level of repetition in these stories. When any story is told, you can hear others echo in its re-telling. We often get messages about how the great warrior Cuchulainn reminds people of the hero Achilles. How Fionn is our Odin, or Manannan Mac Lir our version of Poseidon or Neptune. And when you look at any of the great stories, you will often find a familiar aspect echoed in other mythologies.

This was one of my favorite stories as a kid and Im so delighted to bring it to you today! Every child in Ireland must hear this story at some stage, as it marries storytelling with one of our national obsessions- hurling! For those of you who have never encountered it, hurling is like a very fast version of hockey, played in the air, with sticks called hurleys and a very hard and fast ball called a sliotar! It has been around in some form in Ireland for hundreds of years and still causes great rivalry between counties to this day! This charming tale tells of the bravery of a young boy name Setanta who follows his calling against all odds, and comes face to face with something truly terrifying-will he be able to overcome this challenge and gain a place at the table of the king's trusted knights- you'll have to listen to find out!

The penultimate story in our Death Series is the death of one of the greatest of all heroes: Cúchulainn. This story and discussion was recorded in early 2020, though we thought the better of releasing tales of glorious death at the time… turns out now is as good a time as any. Cúchulainn’s death was long foretold. From the moment he took up arms as a boy, he knew that his life would be brief, and full of pain.

N'oubliez pas de mettre une note à cette mini-capsule ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐DESCRIPTION:"Le cycle d'Ulster" est un ensemble de textes épiques irlandais en prose, dont l'essentiel est formé par un ensemble de récits: la Tain Bo Cualnge.Le manuscrit le plus ancien s'appelle "Le Livre de la Vache Grise", et date du XIIème siècle, mais l'histoire elle-même trouve ses origines au VIIème ou VIIIème siècle.Ecrit à l'origine dans un environnement chrétien, le récit a sans doute subi des altérations mais il conserve un grand intérêt mythologique: le héros guerrier Cuchulainn défend la cause ulstérienne, tandis que la déesse-reine Medb gouverne le Connach. La destinée des deux royaumes se trouve entre les mains de Morrigane, déesse de la mort et de la destruction.On remarque d'abord la représentation particulière de la reine Medb: c'est une femme jalouse des possessions de son mari, au point de soulever une large armée et partir en guerre pour satisfaire ses désirs. Elle use ensuite de magie, de manipulations et autres fourberies pour tenter de séduire son opposant. Elle est décrite comme une très mauvaise stratège militaire, et c'est son mari Ailill qui parvient à lui faire entendre raison.Plus globalement, ce récit met en scène deux animaux aux pouvoirs surnaturels. Le combat entre le taureau brun (Donn) et le taureau à cornes blanches (Finnbennacht) symbolise la lutte longue, et stérile, entre Ulster et Connacht, les deux provinces les plus au nord de l'ancienne Irlande.C'est du moins l'interprétation qu'en fait le docteur en Etudes celtiques Dimitri Boekhoorn dans sa thèse sur « Le bestiaire mythique et légendaire dans la tradition celte » nous permet de remarquer encore une fois l'importance de la figure taurine dans cette civilisation. En effet même s'il paraît évident que les deux taureaux incarnent la richesse et des objets de prestige on peut également y voir un symbolisme territorial. C'est-à-dire que le Brun de Cuailnge serait en fait le « seigneur » du royaume d'Ulster. La longue rivalité entre les deux provinces est suggérée par le fait que les deux taureaux ont déjà tenté de régler leur différend sous diverses apparences. Et en s'emparant de ce taureau fantastique la Reine ne ferait que s'assurer d'une surpuissante souveraineté, élargissant son autorité. Emblème royal par excellence qui représente un idéal de sacrifice et de virilité, le taureau celte incarne sans nul doute les valeurs premières d'une civilisation qui n'eut de cesse que de cultiver son brillant esprit belligérant à travers contes et légendes fantastiques...

Part 3 of our special edition birthday telling of the Táin. This episode focuses on the aftermath of the havoc that the armies of Ireland deal on Ulster. Cuchulainn awakes after a healing sleep to see the hills burning. The boys troop stood in his place, buying time for the heroes of the Ulster Red Branch to awake… Sorcha read somewhere once upon a time, that An Táin Bó Culaigne was the tale that should be told after dark and in the dark half of the year. So, six years ago, in a small pub in Dublin we started telling the Táin. There were about 10 people there at the time. Each week the numbers grew and grew, and at the end of the tale, there were people crammed in, and listening from the stairwell outside the room. This year we are 6 years old as a group. And every year we celebrated by telling the Táin again, and each year we found a new way to tell it, or more details to enhance, or aspects to leave out as the case may be. It’s an epic, so it was possibly told in the winter to last the entire winter. We worked on a number of versions of this story, and ‘The Shadows of the Táin’ was the final script we came up with and premiered in Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin in collaboration with the Shadow Puppetry of ‘Flight of Fancy’. We toured this show over the years, and have had plans of performing it live again and again… but without live venues open, we decided to do something different with this script. This is something different. Sorcha is narrating this on her own this time, and Rurai O'Shea (the first musician we ever collaborated with) took this reading and added the soundscape and music to it as his lockdown project. And aren't we lucky to be able to collaborate with such an artist.

Skye also plays a part in the Cuchulainn legends, when Cuchulainn comes to the island to study at the warrior school belonging to Scathach.

The Gáe Bulg (also Gáe Bulga, Gáe Bolg, Gáe Bolga), meaning "spear of mortal pain/death spear", "gapped/notched spear", or "belly spear", was the name of the spear of Cúchulainn in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. It was given to him by his martial arts teacher, the warrior woman Scáthach, and its technique was taught only to him. It was made from the bone of a sea monster, the Coinchenn, that had died while fighting another sea monster, the Curruid. Although some sources make it out to be simply a particularly deadly spear, others—notably the Book of Leinster—state that it could only be used under very specialized, ritual conditions: “ The Gáe Bulg had to be made ready for use on a stream and cast from the fork of the toes. It entered a man's body with a single wound, like a javelin, then opened into thirty barbs. Only by cutting away the flesh could it be taken from that man's body.” In other versions of the legend, the spear had seven heads, each with seven barbs. In the Táin Bó Cuailnge, Cúchulainn received the spear after training with the great warrior master Scáthach in Alba. She taught him and his foster-brother, Ferdiad, everything the same, except she only taught the Gáe Bulg feat to Cuchulainn. He later used it in single combat against Ferdiad. They were fighting in a ford, and Ferdiad had the upper hand; Cúchulainn's charioteer, Láeg, floated the Gáe Bulg down the stream to his master, who cast it into Ferdiad's body, piercing the warrior's armor and "coursing through the highways and byways of his body so that every single joint filled with barbs." Ferdiad died soon after. On a separate occasion, Cúchulainn also killed his own son, Connla, with the spear. In both instances, it was used as a last resort, as once thrown it proved invariably fatal. Cú Chulainn's use of the Gáe Bulg in the Táin Bó Cuailnge exemplifies its deadliness and the gruesome nature in which it leaves its victims. This can be seen in the fact that after it is utilized, one must literally cut into the victim to retrieve it. This was the case in Cú Chulainn's slaying of Fer Diad. As it is stated in Ciaran Carson's translation of The Táin: “ Láeg came forward and cut Fer Diad open and took out the Gáe Bolga. Cú Chulainn saw his weapon bloody and crimson from Fer Diad's body... ” Etymology Traditionally, the name has been translated as "belly spear", with the second element of the name, bulga, being treated as a derivative of Old Irish bolg "belly, sack, bag". Several notable Celtic scholars, including Joseph Loth and Kuno Meyer, have preferred to derive it rather from Old Irish bolc "gap, breach, notch" (cognate with Welsh bwlch), suggesting a linguistic link with the second element in the name of Fergus mac Róich's sword, Caladbolg and King Arthur's sword Caledfwlch. Linguist Eric Hamp derives the second element, bulga, from a Proto-Celtic compound *balu-gaisos meaning "spear of mortal pain/death spear" (comparable to Old Irish fogha "spear, dart", from Proto-Celtic *uo-gaisu-). Once the second element *gaisos "spear" was no longer recognizable to Irish speaker, its Old Irish cognate, gáe, was reattached to the beginning for clarification, forming a new, tautological compound.

England born Chris, as well as Jim and Derrek like to enjoy ourselves, and like to get everybody around us to have a fun time, but we also are very dedicated musicians. Although it may seem like Claymore is just about jumping around and not appearing serious, all of us are committed to being the best at what each of us do. We have our regular drummer Don (Otto) Wilson out with us on most occasions also. We are truly passionate about the music. We are also very grateful for our family and friends, who come out or support us in many different ways. You can find out more details about Claymore on their website or on their Contributor Page on our website.   Fairies by Walter Gregor (1881) This section comes from the book 'Notes on the Folk-Lore of the North-East of Scotland' and the introduction says: This is an ethnographic study of the inhabitants of the North-Eastern area of Scotland in the mid-19th century, at a time when an agrarian, barter economy still prevailed. Life was hard among these remote coastal communities, and they lived in fear of maleficent witches and the 'Evil Eye'. Many of the rituals, taboos and folkways in this book are to ward off witchcraft directed against economic mainstays such as livestock and fishing. The book has many fascinating bits of lore, as well as extensive oral poetry, all in Scots dialect. (There is, thankfully, an extensive glossary at the end, in case ye're na sure what all the clatterin's aboot.). There are also detailed descriptions of holidays, weddings, and other celebrations, which reveal that life was not completely grim. [Sacred Texts] The chapter we read from is specifically about Fairies and customs associated with them. [source]   King of the Fairies by Anne Roos Anne has graciously allowed us to play King of the Fairies which is a superb folk piece from her album, A Light in the Forest. More details about Anne and her albums can be found on her Contributor Page.  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.   Summer by Alexander Pope, 1709 Alexander Pope (21 May 1688 – 30 May 1744) was an eighteenth-century English poet, best known for his satirical verse and for his translation of Homer. He is the third most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, after Shakespeare and Tennyson. Pope is famous for his use of the heroic couplet. [Wiki] The poem comes from the wonderful poetry.about.com. Summer from the Second Pastoral See what Delights in Sylvan Scenes appear! Descending Gods have found Elysium here. In Woods bright Venus with Adonis stray’d; And chast Diana haunts the Forest Shade. Come lovely Nymph, and bless the silent Hours, When Swains from Sheering seek their nightly Bow’rs; When weary Reapers quit the sultry Field, And crown’d with Corn, their Thanks to Ceres yield. This harmless Grove no lurking Viper hides, But in my Breast the Serpent Love abides. Here Bees from Blossoms sip the rosy Dew, But your Alexis knows no Sweet but you. Some God conduct you to these blissful Seats, The mossie Fountains, and the Green Retreats! Where-e’er you walk, cool Gales shall fan the Glade, Trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a Shade, Where-e’er you tread, the blushing Flow’rs shall rise, And all things flourish where you turn your Eyes. Oh! how I long with you to pass my Days, Invoke the Muses, and resound your Praise; Your Praise the Birds shall chant in ev’ry Grove, And Winds shall waft it to the Pow’rs above. But would you sing, and rival Orpheus’ Strain, The wond’ring Forests soon shou’d dance again, The moving Mountains hear the pow’rful Call, And headlong Streams hang list’ning in their Fall! But see, the Shepherds shun the Noon-day Heat, The lowing Herds to murm’ring Brooks retreat, To closer Shades the panting Flocks remove, Ye Gods! and is there no Relief for Love? But soon the Sun with milder Rays descends To the cool Ocean, where his Journey ends; On me Love’s fiercer Flames for ever prey, By Night he scorches, as he burns by Day.   Herne by Jenna Greene "Her ethereal music is inspired by Celtic lore and nature myth. She believes both nature and music are powerful healers. Fused together, her music will take you on a journey to sacred groves, standing stones and places of beauty within yourself." Herne is a Celtic god who embodies masculine energy. He symbolizes the dark time of the year. Autumn is his time of power. I always think of this beautiful myth when the autumn leaves begin to fall. Jenna can be found on Myspace, but her own website provides lots of useful information.

Pearse wrote stories and poems in both Irish and English, his best-known English poem being "The Wayfarer".

His short stories in Irish include Eoghainín na nÉan ("Eoineen of the Birds"), Íosagán, Na Bóithre ("The Roads"), and An Bhean Chaointe ("The Keening Woman"). These are translated into English by Joseph Campbell (in the Collected Works of 1917). [Wiki] Mise Éire: Sine mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra Mór mo ghlóir: Mé a rug Cú Chulainn cróga. Mór mo náir: Mo chlann féin a dhíol a máthair. Mór mo phian: Bithnaimhde do mo shíorchiapadh. Mór mo bhrón: D'éag an dream inar chuireas dóchas.

He has graciously allowed us to present an amazingly powerful short story called One Spring Eve. You can find out more about Willie and his work at his website or you can read more details about this fantastic author in our Contributor pages.   The Children of Lir by Sora Sora (aka Andrea Hunt) is an independent musician with a different philosophy on how she wants to share her music with the world. Perhaps it was all of the touring she did as a teenager with the Calgary Youth Orchestra and the Calgary Fiddlers that made her appreciate the subtleties of having a solid home base. It may have been the influence of playing with elite musicians and performing to sell out crowds that seeded her desire to mold a new musical lifestyle. Her natural flair for Celtic vocal styling leaps out in her 2003 debut CD “Winds Of Change”. On this self produced project all 13 tracks were recorded live off the floor. “What you hear is what we did” Sora says. “Everyone was in the same small room at the same time”. The arrangements for each song were chosen specifically because they were so different from anything she had ever heard – which gave her the chance to put her heart and sound into each track. You can find her music on Myspace or Corvid Media. You can find out more details about Sora on her Contributor Page on our website. Children of Lir When on feathered wings take flight 'Oer the hills beating the time To the swans final song Sung so sweet, so for so long As they leave rocky shore Flying west with the sun And I watch from the land I love My past come undone Oh Children of Lir where have you gone? The hills they are bare but echo your song Echo your song The stones silently fall And where do I belong? On the hollow faerie mound The silence calls mocking the time When the swans haunting song Carried far, resounding strong And their stories they drift Upon stormy seas Lost in the waves of time The island, it is me Oh Children of Lir where have you gone? The hills they are bare but echo your song Echo your song The stones silently fall And where do I belong? When the bells so loudly toll An anthem rung drowing the sound To the swans final song Silver notes, fading, withdrawn Change swiftly comes On the wings of the dove The voices once heard are gone Where are they love? Oh Children of Lir where have you gone? The hills they are bare but echo your song Echo your song  Oh Children of Lir where have you gone?

Shimmer loves his wives, Sita and Ahalya, and tries to share sweet lives with them, but the trickster Murk, intent on dragging Mankind down, drives black souls to attack the ones who love. Come along as Shimmer leads migrations. Relive the waning of the Great Ice Age and the planetwide disaster. And remember how Old Kingdom Egypt travelled through a pleat in time to stabilize and rule the river plains of northern India. Re-experience Murk's dark campaign to undermine that peaceful land, and once again respond to Shimmer and Old Shiver's call to arms and meet the enemy between two rivers at fabled Kurukshetra.

 Midsummer 2008 with a story from William Russeth Always great to hear from you! Email garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com, or call us using Speakpipe More resources over at our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com Show Summary: We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. The second half contains an amazing poem called The Shadow House of Lugh, a story from The Fire of Belenus by William Russeth and some music. Running Order: Intro 0:40 News & Views 1:37 The Shadow House of Lugh by Ethna Carberry 2:50 The Fires of Belenus by William Russeth 6:07 Tuttle Caislean an Oir by Cady Finlayson 33:03 Listener Feedback 36:01 Outtakes 39:34 We hope you enjoy it! Gary & Ruthie x x x     News & Views We talk about Stonehenge's new visitor centre and the Cerne Abbas giant's new haircut!   The Shadow House of Lugh by Ethna Carberry This poem is a translation of an 8th Century Irish verse. It was translated by Ethna Carberry and published in Padraic Colum's (1881–1972) Anthology of Irish Verse, 1922. Lugh is the Celtic divinity whose name is most widely known. In mythology he is the Sun God. In the mythological cycle he is the deliverer of the De Danaans from the Fomorian oppression. He is the slayer of Balor, the glance of whose eye is death. But Lugh is also kin to Balor, his mother being Eithlinn, the daughter whom Balor had immured like Danae in a tower. There are actually another two verses to this poem, but the version we found and recorded didn't have them. So here are the extra two verses for your pleasure. This version can be found at Bartleby's.  He plays for her soothing the Slumber-song: Fine and faint as any dream it glides along: She sleeps until the magic of his kiss shall rouse;     And all her world is quiet in the Shadow-house. His days glide to night, and his nights glide to day: With circling of the amber mead, and feasting gay; In the yellow of her hair his dreams lie curled, And her arms make the rim of his rainbow world.   The Fires of Belenus by William Russeth A thousand years before the Romans, Celtic people cultivated the Rhone Valley. Celtic languages were spoken from Asia Minor to Spain and from Northern Italy to Ireland. By the third century BC, their culture had evolved into a complex civilization with sophisticated social structures, laws, and folklore that are the roots of modern European culture. But the Celtic world was a violent world, controlled by mystical Druids and warrior chieftains, ready to take the heads of their rivals over the most trifling insult. Fires of Belenus is a romantic tale, that tantalizes readers with rational portrayals of mythical events found in the CuChulainn and Arthurian legends. Written by William Russeth, the chapter we read is exciting and contains wonderful symbology. Many, many thanks to William for allowing us to present Chapter Thirty-Six. The Sword in the Stone, Lady of Lake, and CuChulainn's stand at the river ford are brought to life in plausible new ways that make the work unique. It is a tale of Historical Fantasy, made believable by accurately portraying ancient Celtic culture. Available from Wings Press and Amazon. Find out more about William in our Contributor pages.   Tuttle Caislean an Oir by Cady Finlayson Called “one of America’s top Celtic fiddlers” by New Age Voice magazine and “bursting with pure and natural talent” by HotIndieNews.com, Cady Finlayson offers a spirited fiddle show with a global twist. Cady’s music blends traditional Irish tunes with worldbeat rhythms and American folk, creating a signature sound that appeals to a variety of audiences. “I love to bring Irish music to people who might not normally hear it,” she says. "I was in Limerick, Ireland in 2003, where I had the chance to meet some of the great Irish fiddle players. What impressed me the most was how individual each person's style was, and how "tradition" meant different things to different people."   Listener Feedback Cory, Ancestral Celt We talk about the dates of Midsummer and an answer from Ancestral Celt.
