Book Synopsis Earthing the Myths by : Daragh Smyth
Download or read book Earthing the Myths written by Daragh Smyth and published by Merrion Press. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ireland, the link between place and myth is strong, and there is no more enlightening way to understand the rich tapestry of Irish mythology, and its relationship to our true history, than by reading the landscape. Earthing the Myths is an engaging and exhaustive county-by-county guide to the vast number of fascinating places in Ireland connected to myth, folklore and early history. Covering the period 800 BC to AD 650, this book spans the Late Bronze Age, the Iron Age and the early Christian period, and explores the ways in which the land evolved, and with it our catalogue of myths and legends. Smyth chronicles sites the length and breadth of the country, where druids, fairies, goddesses, warriors and kings all left their mark, in tales both real and imagined. With over one thousand locations recorded, from Rathlin Island to the Beara Peninsula, Earthing the Myths breathes life into places throughout Ireland that find their origins in our pre-Christian and pre-Gaelic past, and shows that they still possess unique wisdom and vibrant energy.

Book Synopsis Legendary Ireland by : Eithne Massey
Download or read book Legendary Ireland written by Eithne Massey and published by The O'Brien Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful book visits twenty-eight richly atmospheric sites and tells the mythological stories associated with them. Woven into these landscapes are tales of love and betrayal, greed and courage, passion and revenge, featuring the famous characters of Celtic lore, such as Cú Chulainn, the children of Lír and Queen Maeve. The historical and archaeological facts and the folk traditions of each ancient site are explored. Some are famous, such as Tara and Newgrange; others are less well known but equally captivating such as the Béara Peninsula in Cork. In a world where many have lost touch with the land and their past, the legendary Irish landscape still survives and the stories are never quite over as long as there are people to tell them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dublin in Irish Legend I have brought together in this essay such references to localities in the County Dublin as my reading of the Heroic Period of Irish History afforded. It will be understood that as Dublin was not a place of any importance in Ireland at the earliest times of which we have any record it is not frequently mentioned in our old stories, and I venture to think that allusion has been made to almost all its legendary associations. The knowledge of these legends will, I hope, serve to heighten the love which Dubliners have for the beautiful country around the city, and to give an added interest to scenes which are lovely in themselves, and which are already endeared by many associations and memories. Only such portions of the legends as refer to places in the county have been referred to. To have told the stories in full would require a much larger work than the present essay, and would have been foreign to the purpose which it is intended to serve. For those who wish to read the originals, I append a list of the more important sources from which information has been obtained: Crimthann Nuad Nair - D'Arbois de Jubainville: Le Cycle Mythologique Irlandais, cap. XV. Tristan and Iseult - Gottfried Von Strassburg. (English Version by Jessie L. Weston). Legends of the Fianna - Standish Hayes O'Grady: Silva Gadelica passim.

Book Synopsis The Turning of the Year by : Eithne Massey
Download or read book The Turning of the Year written by Eithne Massey and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the hugely successful book Legendary Ireland, The Turning of the Year explores the Celtic division of the year, from Samhain to Imbolc, to Bealtaine, to Lunasa, back to Samhain. It examines the significance of particular times of the year and features re-tellings of various legends associated with them. The book will look at the close connection of the Irish with the land and with nature, bringing us on an exhilarating journey through the Irish seasons and the customs that welcomed each one in turn. Along the way we encounter saints, scholars, kings and goddesses, whose stories, preserved in myth and folktale, counterpoint the book's exploration both of lost traditions such as keening and how other customs and rituals have been preserved in today's celebrations and communal events. It brings to the reader a new awareness of how such ritual can still have relevance in our lives, and a deeper appreciation of the power of the natural world.
