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

Show notes

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to this Series. This series is about the end of the Fianna and the rebirth of life after death. The transition from the Pagan belief system to catholicism. Sometimes we romanticise the past, and we get a little confused as to what good ideas to take out of it. This episode, is about what we are doing now. Or what some of us can do. Aron had the chance to talk to our brother Neal Hegarty. Neal is over in Guatemala and has a permaculture farm. We talked about Oisin and his trip from Tír na Nóg and what that may represent in our lives today. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast. For the month of March, we are sharing stories of our island’s patron Saint, and what came before him, and what was displaced.

Episode 158 - Rebirth - Oisín And Patrick Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast. For the month of March, we are sharing stories of our island’s patron Saint. And one of the best stories of Patrick is the story of his strange friendship with an odd old man, who claimed to be a hero of legend. After the fall of the Fianna, Oisín, son of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, lived in the land of eternal youth, heedless of the centuries slipping by. When he came back to Ireland to visit his father, he found a place changed beyond recognition, and when time caught up with him, he was brought to the wisest man in Ireland at that time: Patrick, the prophet of a new faith. This is the story of what happened next. This story is told by Aron in a special live recording, with live musical accompaniment by Oisín Ryan.
