Many people have encountered Ireland over the millennia. The Emerald Isle has hosted scholars and poets, as well as fierce warriors and mighty High Kings. All have been touched by the land differently, and no one has left the same. We see this in the oldest stories of the old Celtic gods, the Tuatha Dé Danann, including figures such as the Dagda, the Morrigan, and Lugh, and their battle against the Fomoire, the fierce anti-gods including Elatha, Bres, and Balor, the giant champion with a destructive evil eye. Cath Maige Tuired (Mag Tuired or Moytura) details from the mysterious arrival of the gods in Ireland to their battle with the Fomorians, and gives us glances into ancient Irish culture and spirituality through its depictions of war and peace.

The Fomorians are under attack! The invaders' plan to conquer Ireland has been severely disrupted by none other than the daughter of their king, Indech Mac Dé Domhnainn. Just when they think they think they are through the worst, they face a new foe, The Morrígan, the deadliest goddess of them all.  We talk about The Morrígan, death on the battlefield, the boundaries between our world and the otherworld, and who Jeff Goldbloom could play in the movie adaptation of this story.  Written, presented and produced  by Marcas Ó hUiscín and Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh.

The Fomorians are on their way and Lugh wants to fight, but the other gods are keeping him from the battle. Convinced his destiny is to defeat the sinister Balor, he bides his time and prepares his fellow deities for the coming confrontation.  We talk about the concept of destiny and ask "what would a Fomorian victory mean for Ireland?" credits Written, presented and produced  by Marcas Ó hUiscín and Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh.

In this episode Kenzie and Mica chat with Sean Fitzgerald, Irish artist, writer, and co-founder of Airmid's Journal. Sean tells a version of the tale of Balor of the Evil Eye local to Torey Island (with an unexpectedly queer plot twist!), and we hear how the landscape is an intimate part of this epic story at the heart of the Moytura saga. We then talk about how fairy belief practiced in Ireland differs from what is discussed on the internet, the consequences of internet appropriation of living folk customs, the importance of teaching the myths and cultural reclamation through re-storying the land, the problems with New Age universalism and unethical behavior in sacred sites, the importance of asking awkward questions in the process of decolonization, the misappropriation and cooptation of myths, history, and sacred rites by fascists and the right wing, and a few bouts of fairy wafting. ;)Follow Sean Fitzgerald on Instagram at @seanfitzgeraldart.

In the latest episode of The Higherside Chats, Greg Carlwood hosts returning guest Cara St. Louis. On her previous appearance, she outlined the details of the new chronology, the missing time phenomenon, the mind weapon we call the Prussian Education System and the dumbing down it facilitates. As Cara looked deeper into the narrative of history, missing time and those who question it, she found more than enough meat on those bones and set out on her new venture: a series of episodic titles she calls The Workbook. Join them as they go for the conspiratorial one-two punch of the highest order as we explore Missing time and the New Chronology. 4:00 Greg and Cara begin by giving some context on the New Chronology. Cara details her path of initiation starting with the work of Sylvie' Ivanowa and leading to Russian astronomer and mathematician,Anatoly Fomenko. Cara explains that the timeline used by today's elite, contributes to the justification of things such as wars and the rising of certain dynastic families. Using astronomical events, such as the cycles of the moon, movements of the planets and eclipses, we are able to see the manipulation of humankind's understanding of history. 11:30 Knowing our current timeline may be completely inaccurate, Greg and Cara discuss the ways in  which establishments such as the Catholic church were capable of altering the dates of history to fit their desired paradigm. Cara contends Jesuits scholars Scaliger and his contemporary Dionysius Petavias, with the help of Benedictine monks, at the will of the Vatican, and against all history fiction or science rewrote chronology to pre-date the existence of Christianity. Further illustrating her point, Cara also explains that all astronomical evidence dates Jesus' period of existence to Medieval times, which gravely affects our current chronology. 15:00 Digging deeper into the Jesuit's brutal involvement in the Prussian education system, Cara briefly lays out the bullet points and a few keys players from along the way, including Pope Pius X. 24:42 Greg and Cara continue to put a point on the finer details of the key figures involved in altering the timeline. One such contributing character was none other than esteemed mathematician, astronomer and physicist, Isaac Newton. 28:00 Cara makes the case against the flat earth theory by contending that it discredits traditional astronomy. 29:45 Greg and Cara examine the work of Ivanowa involving the decedents of Atlantis whom she refers to as "the Survivors". Known as the keepers of the peace, the Survivors imparted knowledge to the indigenous people who in turn used their culture of oral storytelling to spread this knowledge for generations. Cara details the what she believes to be a critical moment in the lost history, the Battle of Moytura, a literal fairy tale taking place in Ireland. 38:00 Cara continues to detail her path of research for listeners. As a self-identified Faye, Cara believes the Faye exist in a different way. Cara outlines her theory, stating the Faye have been and may still be an extra-terrestrial race, as well as existing intra–dimensionally. Listen as Cara and Greg discuss the tumultuous relationship between the Faye and Drakos. 46:00 The scope of the human mind is endless. With the recent calls to creative types from CERN, Cara elaborates on the theory they may be attempting to harness the imagination to control and disrupt the morphogenetic field. 51:00 Listen as Cara describes the current landscape of terror, anxiety and fear being used to manipulate, weaken and control the population. 58:40 Greg and Cara continue to trace missing time conspiracy and this alternative history through the rule of Nero in Rome. With disparities in the timeline becoming more evident as we narrow in on details of history, Cara explains the fallacies in our current understanding of history. 1:03:20 Greg and Cara continue their discussion by tackling the Phantom time hy...

The Morrigan,  is a multi textured mythological figure, She may take  the role of war correspondent, and diplomat and record keeper. She can be sensual, uncompromising and occasionally even downright scary but then, above all, she is the perfect exemplar of the poet's skill.

Airmed is the daughter of the great Dé Danann physician, Dían Cécht, part of a family of healers.  Together, they create the healing well of Sláine, which restores injured warriors at the Second Battle of Moytura.  But do the meanings of their names tell a different story? In our  revisit to what may seem at first reading, a side story in the great battle saga, join the  the Story archaeologists as they re-evaluate the role of Airmed and her family, finding their actions  central to the main theme of the epic Moytura  story. In this episode, and our update, we referenced many other episodes, including our entire second series on Moytura.. However, for now, we will include a couple of the most  relevant links.

We have dug down as far as we can go in this Story Archaeology dig of Cath Maige Tuired.  We've studied the landscape, examined related stories, collected linguistic potsherds. So what are we left with? For the last episode in "The Battle of Moytura" series, the Story Archaeologists engage in some experimental story archaeology. What if we leave out "foreign" characters? What if we only read the oldest strata of the tale? If the story is not a battle between Good Gods and Evil Demons, what kind of story is it?

In our continuing discussion of the Early Modern Irish tale, “The Fate of the Children of Tuirenn”, we send Brian and the boys off on their epic quest.  Much of this tale sounds terribly familiar (did someone say “Labours of Heracles?"). But it all boils down to the deceptively simple task of making three shouts on a hill - will the three brothers have any chance of surviving? As this epic "Sorrow of Irish Storytelling" serves as one of the few texts telling the story of Moytura, our discussion has been split into two full episodes.  Listen to the first episode here.

He also wrote a follow-up where he offered us some serious advice which we followed at the end of the Irish Mythological Cycle series. Anne's blog is a fascinating resource. He says: "While looking for Dutch audio, I discovered podcasts. When investigating the iTunes directories, I soon discovered the history and science podcasts I came to like so much. Among the first were Berkeley's History 5, Shrink Rap Radio and the Dutch podcast Simek 's Nachts. After many months of listening, I began this blog and dedicated it to reviewing the majority of podcasts I find."   Sources used in this Episode Timeless Myths http://www.timelessmyths.com/celtic/invasions.html#DanannArrival Lebor Gabala http://members.aol.com/lochlan2/lebor.htm The Irish Tradition http://members.aol.com/lochlan6/mlegend1.htm The Battle of Moytura http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/1maghtured.html The Second Battle of Moytura http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T300011.html Lebor Gabala Erenn http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/lebor4.html#55 The Coming of the People of Dana http://www.celtic-twilight.com/celts/rolleston/chapter_iii.htm Fight with the Fir Bolg http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/gafm/gafm03.htm And, of course, the Awen - inspiration and imagination!   Special Thanks For voice acting: Edward and Morgan, our sons For incidental music: Diane Arkenstone, The Secret Garden .
