Take advantage of the thinning of the veil and sign up for a Soul Council Session with Eileen here. Take the Which Witch Are You? Quiz In this solo episode Eileen dives into the rich traditions and practices of Samhain, the Celtic fire festival welcoming winter, also known as the 'witch's new year'. In this rich episode, Eileen discusses the thinning of the veil between worlds, the significance of ancestor and shadow work, and the releasing of what no longer serves us to make room for new beginnings. As we step into winter, the Cailleach returns to the land, the crone, the Great Mother of the Tuatha De Danaan, the wise one. Journey with me in this delightful episode!

Thomas Sochowicz from Season 1 (2021) of Birdsong. Thomas exclaims that his very first memory was riding down a ray of plasma light, from a star, into this realm when he was born. His first notable initiation was when he was 7 or 8 years old via Carlos Castaneda's "A Fire from Within". This led him to the study of nature and various esoteric lineages via books on Buddhism, Music, Hinduism, Alchemy, Astrology, Shamanism, Science, Occultism, and others. After high school he went through a hard life initiated by the streets of Detroit and the underground festival culture. From there he spent significant time in hermitage for meditation, retreat, initiation with teachers, elders (in particular through the red road), and other branches of self work. In February 2020 he had his third major near death experience, which we talk about in the show, alongside many other fascinating themes along the lines of Celtic Druidic shamanism, entheogens, the hidden serpents of wisdom, we unpack the concept of the 13th dimensional memory complex, we weave in Atlantis, and our plasma body evolution into the Aquarian age. Somehow Thomas has a way of tying this all in together in a very articulate way so that we can gain an understanding of where we are and where we're headed as a species…   TIMESTAMPS: [2:55] Thomas opens up the space with a lovely honouring [5:18] Touching on Thomas' backstory and his car accident prior to covid-19 [7:47] Synchro-mysticism [8:22] Near death experience & the soul grid reconstruction with Sara Eaglewoman [12:50] Earth-based vs theatrical ceremony [13:21] The ability to dive into someones energy body for healing [14:30] Ectoplasm and ghostbusters [15:31] Trauma isn't exclusive to humans, but occurs to our Earth as well [18:07] The link between the 13 Collectives of the Pheonix + the 13th Dimensional Memory Complex [19:11] Morphogenetic fields of species… AND planets [23:23] Why is the phoenix and 13 dimensions linked into this, and can these states of consciousness be cultivated by all human beings?

This week I interview Marguerite Rigoglioso Ph.D., who is the foremost authority on the history of virgin birth, and the author of the bold new award-winning book The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births. Marguerite taught many graduate and undergraduate courses in the US and UK, and in 2012 founded her own Seven Sisters Mystery School, through which she's been teaching about the Sacred Feminine and mentoring clients on the evolutionary spiritual path. She is also the author of Virgin Mother Goddesses of Antiquity and The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece. talking about The Fey (the shining ones), interdimensional beings such as Arthur and Guinevere, miraculous conception and the ascension of planet Earth and the feminine Sophia energy.  We discuss Arthur and Guinevere (encompassing both the masculine and feminine energy) and the Tuatha De Danaan, who are said to be the Shining Ones' from the ancient texts, myths and the bible, an interdimensional and advanced race of beings, who "went back into the mountains" when the dark forces began to take over the planet.    Resistance and interference from the invisible realms which are causing many of our 3D problems, not least making it harder to reach our dreams in life or money. If you feel like life is 1 step forwards and 3 steps back, then this may be why.    Why the veil thickened in our world, who was behind it and why it is starting to lift again during this time in history.    The curse of karma, which has been manipulated and played with for thousands of years, so we stay in a prison. How karma was only ever supposed to be for 5 generations, but the dark forces twisted it (and made it worse) for their own benefit.    Why planet earth was created as 'Garden of Eden' and how pain and suffering is not our story (or future) - we all came here to thrive.    The role of the miraculous birth and the evidence of it throughout the ages Plus why it happens and how it's helping to realign the energies, add DNA to our genepool and shift us into a new timeline.    The different timelines on our planet and how to know when its time to let one go. Our history is changing, and much of it isn't even true, so choose the past, present or future timeline that works best for you. This is the essence of multidimensional living and is easier than you think.    And much more....     LINKS & CREDITS for Marguerite:- Learn more about Marguerite Rigoglioso & this content:  Check out the Seven Sisters Mystery School website: https:/www.sevensistersmysteryschool.com  Watch more from Marguerite on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MargueriteRigoglioso7  Follow Marguerite on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/margueriterigoglioso/ IG @margueriterigoglioso  Follow Seven Sisters Mystery School on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SevenSistersMysterySchool/ FB @SevenSistersMysterySchool  New course now available in replay: Heal Yourself & Our World by Reclaiming Guinevere, Arthur, the Fae & the Round Table: https://www.sevensistersmysteryschool.com/guinevere-arthur-course/  Join Our Monthly Mother Mary Love & Empowerments Circle: https://www.sevensistersmysteryschool.com/monthly-mother-mary-love-circle/  Master Mary's Holy Womb Mysteries (a comprehensive bundle of courses with both live & on-demand segments featuring ancient wisdom to help you restore the miracle capacities of your womb and advance as a holy being - with Mary as your mentor): https://www.sevensistersmysteryschool.com/marys-womb-mysteries/  Join the Priestess of the Dove Sisterhood!

Hill of Tara written by Joshua J.

Find out more here → www.antiqvvs-magazine.com/ The Hill of Tara is an ancient Neolithic Age site in County Meath, Ireland. It was known as the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, the site of coronations, a place of assembly for the enacting and reading of laws, and for religious festivals. The oldest monument at the site is the Mound of the Hostages, a Neolithic passage tomb, dating from c. 3000 BCE. The ring forts and evidence of other enclosures, such as the Banquet Hall, date from a later period. The Lia Fail (stone of destiny), by which the ancient kings were inaugurated, still stands on the hill. The site is also associated with the Tuatha De Danaan, the pre-Celtic peoples of Ireland and with the mystical elements they came to embody. The great sabbats of pagan Ireland were announced by a bonfire on the hill which, at an elevation of 646 feet (197 metres), would have been seen for many miles in every direction. It is said that St. Patrick announced the arrival of Christianity in Ireland by lighting his own large bonfire across from Tara at the Hill of Slane before going there to preach before King Laoghaire in 432/433 CE. The name comes from the Gaelic Cnoc na Teamhrach, which is often translated as "place of great prospect", though it has also been argued it comes from a corruption of Tea-Mur, burial place of the ancient queen Tea.

Epic isn't always what we think it is... Often, it doesn't occur to us till long after, if at all... This story is of a wizard who walked to face destiny with no guarantees, and was rewarded for his faith...

I am delighted to announce that we have something very different for you today. On the 1st May this year, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist LESLEY MITCHELL-CLARKE and Co-Host/Experiencer/Contactee WES ROBERTS launched their new production, CONTACT TV. This TV version is their new, visual format of their successful on-line radio broadcast called “Contact Radio”, which ran for five successive years. Their new show is running on earthmysterynews.com and also on their new CONTACT TV YouTube Channel. But guess what, who was their first guest? Who was asked to celebrate with them, on their first show, the May 1st ancient Irish Festival of Beltane (or Bealtine as we know it in Ireland)? You guessed it - myself Ahonu. In this sixty minute interview by Lesley Mitchell-Clarke and her co-host Wes Roberts, we covered topics such as: What are the historic roots of BELTANE? How was Beltane celebrated in ancient times, and how is it celebrated presently? Who are the Tuatha De Danaan (the Sons of the Goddess Danaan), and how does the ancient pantheon of Irish Gods relate to other pantheons of the Norse, Greek, Native American/Canadian ancient peoples, and is there a common denominator? Who were the monument builders of Ireland and The British Isles, and were the Druids perhaps the last receptacle of Atlantean religious practices? Is it possible that the legendary disappearing and re-appearing of the mysterious Irish Island of Hy Brasyl was, or is, an inter-dimensional gateway – or possibly an Atlantean City protected by cloaking technology? Were the physically gigantic “mound builders” of North America, in fact, pre and ante-diluvial Atlantean/Celts – and what about the presence of ancient “Ogham” writing and other possibly Celtic, stone structures found throughout North America? Also, it is a scientific fact that people of Irish descent carry a high percentage of the "O Negative" blood grouping – which is considered the oldest blood grouping on the planet (only found in 3½ percent of the world's population), and how is it that nearly 90% of people with Basque ancestry (both in Europe and the U.S.) have "O Negative" blood, and is there perhaps a deep, ethnic connection to an ancient, pre-historic super culture? And do the existing sacred spaces of Ireland still maintain special powers/vibrations? Wow - let's begin… The book, The Reincarnation of Columbus, mentioned in this episode is here: After you listen, please leave a rating and review on iTunes.

First half of our summary of the Irish Mythological Cycle In this show, we start to summarise the Irish Mythological Cycle as we've met it so far in the first 29 story episodes. Not only is this show finishing off a whole branch of Celtic Mythology, but it also celebrates the Autumn Equinox for 2011, so we've made it a real cracker and split it into two halves. We've got an epic poem, 4 great songs in this first half and we take a look at the Origins of the Manuscripts which these stories come from and highlight some of the themes we've noticed in the stories. This was the question we asked you: what themes do you think are the most important, and this show includes your ideas as well as ours. We conclude our examination of the Irish Mythological Cycle in the Second Part of this show which will be dropped into the feed and available for download 2-3 days after this one so you have chance to listen to the show and keep it fresh in the old brain box before we finish off the show with the end of the poem, the other observations we've made and yes more great music!

Production Diary 1 of the making of 'The Spirit of Albion' Movie featuring songs by Damh the Bard and directed by Gary Andrews. The directorial genius behind this move is Gary Andrews and you can find out more about him, his work and The Spirit of Albion at the movie website, www.thespiritofalbionthemovie.com. The Diaries have been produced by Marq English at http://www.mevproductions.co.uk. Esther, Annie and George are 3  people whose lives have reached a crisis point. On the night of 31st October, all three find themselves drawn to a clearing in the woods. Secrets are revealed and nothing will ever be the same again as an ancient power emerges from the shadows… The Teaser Trailer   Si Do Mhaimeo I by Anne McWiden Anne McWiden is a very talented musican and solo artist. She plays keyboard, flute, tin whistles, and sings. McWiden began her musical journey at the age of 9. From there, her father intruduced her to Celtic music. What makes Annie even more exceptional is the fact that she was born blind. While it has made things difficult as an artist, she's worked hard to excel in the field. She sings Gaelic and English traditional songs from both Ireland and Scotland.  This song is called "She's Your Granny!" and we read out the English version in the AppExtra. For those without the App, you can find lyrics on this lyrics site. It's interesting to note that the word they translate as Granny is 'cailleach', which also means widow, old woman, crone, elder and so on and is of particular interest as we looked at the Celtic Hag Goddess in SP15 - Samhain 2009. You can find out more about Anne McWiden on her Contributor Page.   Book of Invasion, Parts 1 & 2 by Greenwood the Bard Greenwood the Bard, aka Stephen Cole, has written much wonderful poetry and we're very privileged to bring you his "Book of Invasions" epic saga that re-tells the story of the Invasions of Erin. Check out his Facebook page for more of his wonderful poetry, the poetry pages on paganspace.net and mysticchrist.co.uk where we're waiting for his posts to start appearing.   Morfa'r Frevhines by Dark Patrick Founded by Ukrainian Eva and Englishman Paul, musicians with experience touring in Great Britain and Ukraine, international ethnic-fusion project Dark Patrick is gaining speed, taking part in all the biggest Ukrainian folk festivals. Each member of the group has mastery of several modern and folk instruments (often playing more than one at once). Morfa'r Frenhines from their album Fáinne Geal an Lae (The Dawning of the Day) is a Welsh melody and means "The Queen's Marsh" often misquoted as the Queen's March. It is an old traditional Welsh harp tune and its haunting melody stays with you long after you've heard it. On the Show, Gary gets this tune confused with the title of the album and the track of that name Fáinne Geal an Lae, which is an old Irish air composed by the blind harpist Thomas Connellan in the 17th Century. An Irish-language song with this name (Fáinne Geal an Lae) was published by Edward Walsh (1805-1850) in 1847 in Irish Popular Songs and later translated into English as The Dawning of the Day. The melody of this song was used by Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh for his poem, "On Raglan Road". Raglan Road has been performed by a number of notable artists including: The Dubliners, Sinéad O'Connor, Luke Kelly and Mark Knopfler. This song also goes by the Irish name Fáinne Geal an Lae - literally "The bright ring of the day." It is often played as a march and is one of the first tunes that a student of Irish music will learn. This is an Aisling where the poet encounters a mysterious beautiful woman who symbolises Ireland - Cáit Ní Dhuibhir, Caitlín Ní Uallacháin, Róisín Dubh etc. In this case, she upbraids him as a frivolous rake and points to the approaching dawn (of freedom from English rule). At the end of the Desmond Rebellions and Nine Years' War, Irish poets were facing their own elimination as a matter of deliberate English policy. [wiki] You can read more about this original and fascinating Celtic music on Dark Patrick's website or on their Contributor Page.   Dating the original Irish Manuscripts We then go on to discuss the origins of the Irish Mythological Cycle and when the original manuscripts can be dated back to.   The Raven by Rick Allen An immortal voice and talent. The lyrical, bardic poetry of a Celtic warrior and spiritual seeker, this recording of Rick Allen's unforgettable voice, accompanied by the musical gifts of The Constant Cohorts, brings the listener back to the days of yore when Druids thrived, the Green Man freely roamed the land, passionate Love was a path to the Mysteries, the Muse was a Lady in White, “. . . and men were true.” This is Rick's version of the great "The Raven" by Gwydion Pendderwen. Please visit our Contributor Page to learn more about Rick Allen's story.   Full Height of Our Power by Kellianna Kellianna is an accomplished musician and performer worldwide. Her CD's, Lady Moon and I Walk with the Goddess are being recognized around the globe as a must have for any lover of Goddess inspired folk music. Her live shows are a combination of acoustic guitar songs and chants to the God and Goddess. This track, the Full Height of our Power, is from her new album Elemental which is, as we come to expect from Kellianna, superb. Learn more about Kellianna on her website or on her Contributor Page.   Themes in the Myths We then talk about the themes that we have seen in the Tales, including the ideas and observatoions that you have made, before making a quick exit in time for part 2 in a couple of days time!   Get EXTRA content in the Celtic Myth Podshow App for iOS, Android & Windows Contact Us: You can leave us a message by using the Speakpipe Email us at: garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com.

Part 1 of our epic 18th Century Scots tale and lots more This is the first time that we've released a seasonal Holiday Show rather than a Festival Holiday Show. The plan is to try and get a Holiday show out for the four seasons until Gary is well enough to get back to the Festivals. We've got an epic 18th century tale from Scotland that has had to be split into two parts - so you're going to get two shows for the price of one - so to speak! There are three amazing pieces of music and the beginning of a small series about the Fey in the Celtic countries based on the work of W Y Evans-Wentz in Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries. Look out for part two of the story coming out very soon! Full Show-notes, with all credits, can be found on our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com/spring2010a Running Order: Intro 0:41 News & Views 1:43 Shaman Spirit Reindeer of Siberia by the Magic Folk 2:48 The Fairy-Faith in Wales by W Y Evans-Wentz 8:38 Armorica 15:06 Laoch Sidhe by Phil Holland 15:35 The Wife or the Wuddy, Pt.1 by John Mackay Wilson 22:55 Riddles by Dark Patrick 1:04:21 Listener Feedback: Keith Wilson 1:09:56 Out-takes 1:10:50 We hope you enjoy it! Gary & Ruthie x x x Released: 15th March 2010, 1h 13m It's always great to hear from you! Email garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com, or leave us a message using Speakpipe   News & Views We talk about the lack of the Cornish Nationality on the British Census for 2011. We also mention that we've got a Skype answerphone set up so that you can leave messages for us or possibly talk to us if we're here. Add 'celticmythpodshow' to your contacts list and you'll get through to us. If you want the message to be personal and not go on the air, just say Personal message and we'll respect that.    Shaman Spirit Reindeer of Siberia by the Magic Folk Magicfolk produce a traditional and modern blend of folk, celtic, prog and rock, writing original and alluring songs with mythological and mystic leanings. They also love their roots with fiery fiddles and pipes, and will sometimes burst into traditional reels and jigs on stage. They continue to absorb new influences, including traditional sounds along the lines of Capercaille, prog-rock timings in the style of Dream Theater, or world music influences such as Greek or South American drum rhythms.  Grounded in acoustic instrumentation, their songs often develop into raucous rock, jazz and psychedelic improvisations. They also have gentle songs which take you to other more restful places. You can find out more about Magic Folk on their website or on our Contributor Page.   The Fairy-Faith in Wales by W. Y. Evans-Wentz Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz (February 2, 1878 – July 17, 1965) was an anthropologist and writer who was a pioneer in the study of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and as a teenager read Madame Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine and became interested in the teachings of Theosophy. He received both his B.A. and M.A. from Stanford University, where he studied with William James and William Butler Yeats. He then studied Celtic mythology and folklore at Jesus College, Oxford (1907); there he adopted the form Evans-Wentz for his name. This is one of the most in-depth and scholarly attempts to explain the phenomena of the Celtic belief in fairies. Based on Evans-Wentz' Oxford doctoral thesis, it includes an extensive survey of the literature from many different perspectives, including folk-lore, history, anthropology and psychology. The heart of the book is the ethnographic fieldwork conducted by Evans-Wentz, an invaluable snapshot of the fairy belief system taken just on the cusp of modernity. There are regional surveys of the fairy-faith in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and the Isle of Man. You can read the whole text on Sacred Texts.   Armorica We also mention 'Armorica' and wonder whether this is meant to be America or some part of Brittany. From Wiki, we learn that Armorica or Aremorica is the name given in ancient times to the part of Gaul that includes the Brittany peninsula and the territory between the Seine and Loire rivers, extending inland to an indeterminate point and down the Atlantic coast. The toponym is based on the Gaulish phrase are-mori "on/at [the] sea", made into the Gaulish place name Aremorica (*are-mor-ika ) "Place by the Sea". The suffix -ika was first used to create adjectival forms and then, names (See regions as Pays d'Ouche < Utica, Perche < Pertica ). The original designation was vague, including a large part of what became Normandy in the 10th century and, in some interpretations, the whole of the coast down to the Pyrenees. Later, the term became restricted to Brittany.   Laoch Sidhe by Phil Holland A Celtic harpist/singer/songwriter, Phil Holland has performed all over Europe as a soloist. Phil is a classically trained musician with Celtic roots. Her music contains many influences from classical to traditional including jazz and minimalist inspired sounds. Phil’s music however transcends category and genre. Her peaceful, reflective style touches the heart and souls of people of all ages, from all walks of life, all over the world. Here you can hear Laoche Sidhe from the album Faeries which is the tale of a Warrior or Hero Faerie in the Battles of the Tuatha De Danaan. You can find out more about Phil on her website or on her Contributor Page.   The Wife or the Wuddy, Pt.1 by John Mackay Wilson This story is the first part of a tale, "The Wife or the Wuddy' by Mr Wilson who was famed for collecting hundreds of tales from the Scottish Borders. I think they went up to about volume 23! This story is a little lengthy, and is the main reason that we split this Holiday Special into two parts. If you find the accents or the vocabulary somewhat difficult to follow, then please follow along with the text which you can find at Project Gutenberg listed below. But no cheating! :) Wait until part 2 before finishing the story! We bet you can't!  You can read the original of this book on Project Gutenberg.   Riddles by Dark Patrick Founded by Ukrainian Eva and Englishman Paul, musicians with experience touring in Great Britain and Ukraine, international ethnic-fusion project Dark Patrick is gaining speed, taking part in all the biggest Ukrainian folk festivals. Each member of the group has mastery of several modern and folk instruments (often playing more than one at once). You can read more about this original and fascinating Celtic music on Dark Patrick's website or on their Contributor Page.     Listener Feedback Keith Wilson We play some feedback from Keith Wilson, the author of Nami's Trees which you can hear on the Lughnasadh Holiday Special, 2009, SP13. We erroneously said that it was the Beltane show for 2009 and not Lughnasadh - D'oh!   Get EXTRA content in the Celtic Myth Podshow App for iOS, Android & Windows Contact Us: You can leave us a message by using the Speakpipe Email us at: garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com.

Saga of Manannan, Part 3 and end of the Irish Mythological Cycle This is the third and final part in the Saga of Manannan which contains two stories. The first, the Tale of Laogaire, tells of a visit of a great warrior to the Realm of the Undying who given the chance refuses to return to Erin. The second tale, the Tale of Tadg and the Three Duns or Castles tells the tale of the voyage of Tadg amongst Manannan's Islands and his encounter with the three great Halls in the Many-Coloured Land. This is also the last episode in the Irish Mythological Cycle and the tale of Tadg rounds off the tale by returning our vision back to Four Islands in the Otherworld, perhaps the very same islands from which the Tuatha De Danaan came from to settle the land of Erin.

As a child of the 90's though, I also grew up with a totally different form of the superhero in the form of anime. From the boys of Gundam, to the seven warriors of Suzaku in Fushigi Yuugi, to even (dare I say it) Sailor Moon, I had been able to see two different kinds of heroes. The kinds with capes and gadgets (Or alien powers), and the kind whose mystical powers governed their duties and how they fight.   So I decided I would take the mythology I loved the most and apply it to a superhero. Thus came Genesis Avalon.   I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing and directing it. And my cast is made of platinum, you are all amazing.

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.

Thank you so much folks!   Review Anne is a Man Anne Frid De Vires wrote us an amazing review that you can find on his blog about academic podcasts. 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 .
