Today my guest is author and historian Turtle Bunbury. Turtle has published a number of books such as the Vanishing Ireland series, Easter Dawn - The 1916 Rising, and The Glorious Madness. Described by the BBC History Magazine as "a skilled storyteller", Turtle has also produced a wonderful array of podcast series that focus on Irish history and provide the listener with wonderful interviews with locals.

Direction: heading north Location: Molana Abbey Coordinates: 51.997327, -7.882004 We let Tony tell you about the Knights Templar's association in the area on the audio here. Meanwhile, the always excellent historian Turtle Bunbury explains the wonder that is Molana Abbey: - 'on the island that stands in the Blackwater, directly in front of present-day Ballynatray House, is one of the most important churches in early medieval Ireland.  Over 170 years after Patrick, an Irish missionary known as St Maelanfaid, or Molan the Prophet, founded an abbey here on an island known as Dairinis, the island of the oak-tree. It is known today as Molana Island. Maelanfaid's abbey soon became a great centre for learning and religious reform. By the early 8th century, Molana was a major stronghold of the Céili Dé (Servants of God), a monastic order determined to reform the church. Its abbots subsequently played a key role in the subsequent introduction of Continental ideas to Ireland.  Indeed, as Dr Dagmar Ó Riain-Raedel noted in her thesis on the island, the Abbey's greatest hour came in about AD 720 when its Abbot, Ruben Mac Connadh of Dairinis, working with Cu-Chuimne from the island monastery of Iona, produced the Collectio Canonum Hibernensis. This was a profoundly valuable and important book for the church, written in Latin, effectively dictating the first rules of Canon Law. Its very title reflects its origin as a compilation of over two hundred years worth of canon law and synodal decrees.  The text itself drew heavily upon previous ecclesiastical regulations and histories, all dating from the centuries prior to 725. It also included papal epistles, acts of synods, ecclesiastical histories, a definition by Virgilius Maro Grammaticus, a compusticial tract by Pseudo-Theophilus, spurious 'Acts' of the council of Caesarea, the so-called dicta of Saint Patrick and several quotes from all but one of the works of Isidore of Seville. Indeed, there is reason to believe that Molana Abbey may have been home to the first library in the south of Ireland.  Unfortunately, none of these original manuscripts have survived but copies can be found in archives all over the Continent. Collectio Canonum Hibernensis was circulated throughout Western Europe for the next four hundred years.

This episode we got well....sexy! When you think vampire, you may think, Tom Cruise or Robert Pattinson but we would  argue that vampires are inherently - Irish. We take what we call the dearg-diúlaí or 'red-blood drinkers' of Irish lore and  look at Dracula's Irish cousins in this episode. Indeed, we sink our teeth into the idea that Dracula was Irish after all. From the vampire tropes that emerged from the Irish perfecting the genre of Gothic literature to us examining the effects of garlic, this was a bumper episode! It went by in a blur and the next day we felt drained, but that could have been the effects of the cocktail chosen by our resident bartender - Alex!

 In this podcast we discuss the lesser-known tale of Lola Montez and King Ludwig I of Bavaria.  This story has it all, Ultramontane-Jesuit conspiracies, Freemasonic conspiracies, rebellion, betrayal, revolution, sexual affairs, power-politics, and lap-dogs chasing swans down Bavarian streets with Lola Montez in Renaissance costume followed by a world famous portrait artist and the King of the Bavaria not too far behind.  All this will give credence to the Augustinian concept of Libido Dominandi, or, in the illustrious words of Dr. E. Michael Jones, “sexual liberation as a tool of control.” Part 2 for Members: We get into much more detail in regards to this bizarre, frustrating, sad but at times hilarious drama of Ludwig & Lola.  We discuss more on the Jesuit conspiracy theories alleged by both the King and Ms. Montez, even her pragmatic 180° turn – for about a few months – on Catholicism and the Ultramontanes; and how Lola found her ultimate ‘freedom’ in America; as ‘Superstitious Catholicism’ was still keeping Europe stuck in the Dark Ages.   Lola could finally ‘take flight’ and spread her Masonic wings, leading the charge for Lady Liberty, as a ‘strong independent female’ pioneering new ground in the theater industry; all in grandiose fashion; and in the 19th century only possible in the ‘religiously tolerant’ Free-Masonic Republic and  ‘progressive’ Protestant culture of the grand ole U.S. of A…which ends in death by syphilis…can you taste it? FREEDOM BABY! For breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
