2 days ago
Beneath our feet and all around us here in Ireland, there is a wealth of stories of an ancient past. Our place names hold an insight into a world of Goddesses and Heroes, battles, and descriptions of amazing land and seascapes. In a country where our old Irish names have been changed beyond recognition, this podcasts goes beneath, to the true meanings and tell the tales of where we live. Our aim is that the listener, no matter where they live, will open their eyes and question and learn the stories behind their own place names.

Errigal, the mountain of a God.

The iconic mountain of An Earagail (Errigal) in County Donegal, in the north-west of Ireland, is central to our short podcast tonight. Along with the local village Dún Luiche (Dunlewey) and An Gleann Nimhe (the Poisoned Glen), this mountain is connected to the ancient God Lugh and his nemesis, Balor of the Evil Eye.  Just one more instance of how mythology lives beneath our landscape.  Check out my website margaretmckenna.ie for my images relating to our wonderful Celtic folklore.
