    Episode 7 : The Sun God and the River Goddess

    09/07/2024 | 25 mins.
    We are very happy to be back with a second season of Into the Mythic thanks to the sponsorship of our friends at WildGooseStudio.com in Kinsale. This week's story concerns two very ancient divine beings from Irish Mythology - Dagda and Boinne, who are two important characters in the stories about the Tuatha De Dannan. It seems that origins of this story go right back to the culture that built Newgrange.
