  • The Fianna - Deardubh, Fionn & Aillil - Irish Mythology Storytelling - Episode 265
    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music. In this episode, we continue our series on the Fianna, the Fianna Saga, with a particularly memorable arrival at Tara. We might all know the Salmon of Knowledge story or the burning of Tara at Samhain, but this tale offers a fresh perspective on this legendary chapter. My sister, Sorcha, told this story. Before we dive in, we’d like to take a moment to thank our sponsor for this episode—Tigh’n Alluis, the Irish Sweat House. This family-run business, created by siblings, two brothers, is reviving Ireland’s ancient sweat house tradition. Places that were once used for healing, restoration, easing rheumatism to curing colds. Positioned in the stunning location in the Dublin mountains overlooking the Wicklow and the Irish Sea, Tigh’n Alluis blends old Irish mythology with holistic practices, using the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—to create a sauna experience like no other. You’ll leave feeling restored, refreshed, and connected to an age-old Irish healing tradition. You’ll find more about them in the show notes—be sure to check them out.

  • The Fianna - Boyhood - Irish Mythology Storytelling - Episode 262 - Collaborations
    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast. After our seasonal break for some Samhain-themed storytelling and spookier stories, this episode continues our newest linked series on the Fianna! The first episode of this series is episode 254, so listen back if you want to learn all about the band of warriors known as the Fianna. In this story, we continue with young Fionn’s upbringing in the wilderness, and we see how the young boy learns plays, and trains in his wild surroundings. When he sees the ancient game of hurling for the first time (still the fastest field sport in the world by the way), he becomes utterly fascinated and completely obsessed with it. In this episode, we are also continuing the tradition of collaborating with musicians that we love working with. For this one, we have teamed up with Caoimhín (pronounced Kwe-Veen”. Known to some as the pide piper of the Celtic revolution, Caoimhín has performed several shows with Aron and Sorcha in the last two years and so he asked to produce a story he would like; “something with a bita “UMFF”...and maybe some hurling if possible”. We are delighted to share his work with you, and we hope you enjoy the music he created for this Podcast. Caoimhí is also a multi-instrumentalist, a stringent producer of his own music and a singer-songwriter from Dublin. He mostly sings in the Irish language and draws inspiration from the landscape, the folklore & the mythology of the land for his music. You can find his music online here Social media handle @caoimhínceol Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story includes mentions of child endangerment and some aspects of violence.

About Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music. Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this. Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories
