    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

However, there are some interesting crossovers to Ireland and we will be discussing these at length at the end of the month.

    Show notes

    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and to this special episode to celebrate Imbolc, the Goddess, and the saint Brigid. This month we are focusing on Goddesses and we’re looking forward to releasing more Goddess stories later. This episode is three short stories about Brigid. Brigid the Goddess, the Conception story of Brigid, and the Saint stories. There are so many little stories about Brigid that we wanted to tie them all in together. And to make it extra special, please go to our YouTube Channel to see these three stories illustrated by three special artists. We collaborated with Shannon Patterson, Séamus Draoigall, & Dee Mulroney on these three videos. Each artist received one of these short stories and went about creating illustrations and animations to fit. Each video is unique, original, and inspired by the stories of Brigid. Check out the videos here, and like, share and subscribe to the channel to get notified when we release videos: https://youtube.com/c/CandlelitTales Please check out these three artists and their work online through these links: Shannon Patterson: https://instagram.com/rose_may_scribble?utm_medium=copy_link Seamus Draoigall: https://instagram.com/seamus.draoigall?utm_medium=copy_link Dee Mulroney: https://instagram.com/deemulrooney?utm_medium=copy_link We were able to pay these artists to collaborate with us, through the Patreon money we got this month.

    Episode 151 - Battle Rage - Post Series Chats Jan 26, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and the final episode in the back Battle Rage Series. This year we decided to choose lesser known characters from the Ulster Cycle, and tell their most interesting stories. You might recognise the characters in this series from the Táin saga. These stories stand alone, linked by one connection: the different manifestations of their Battle Rage. In this episode Aron, Sorcha and Oisin talk about the stories in the second half the series. As a reminder these were, Findchoem, Emer, Finibhear, and the Morrigan. We chat about how 1st person storytelling has been different to our usual style, and how much we have liked it, as well as the music and style of atmosphere Oisin created for this series. We briefly mentioned workshops and ‘Cruthu’, the interactive game based show that we got Arts Council funding for. So if you are curious about any of the storytelling workshops that we offer, please get in touch, or check out our website http://candellittales.ie.

This is the story of the goddess at the centre of it all, the embodiment of Battle Rage: the Morrigan. An inescapable force, whether we flee from her or embrace her, she brings clarity, power, and destruction. And the only suitable champion for a goddess of rage is one who enrages her in turn.

    Show Notes Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to the Battle Rage Series. This year we decided to choose lesser known characters from the Ulster Cycle, and tell their most interesting stories. This is the story of Emer and the only time she experienced jealousy so fully it brought her to a battle rage. The story is also known as ‘The only Jealousy of Emer’ or ‘The sickbed of Cúchulainn’. Emer was Cúchulainn’s equal, and the one woman who could argue and hold her own against him. She had the 7 gifts of womanhood, was beautiful beyond comparison and therefore never thought she would lose the love of her life, despite his frequent infidelities. She knew he would return to her no matter what. She gave him every chance, over and over again, until that is, he met with the faerie lady Fand… This story is told by Aron.

    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to the Battle Rage Series. This year we decided to choose lesser known characters from the Ulster Cycle, and tell their most interesting stories. This is the story of Friuch, the swine herd of Munster. Friuch once had a close friend called Rucht. The two of them shared a lot in common, as they were both swine herds. But jealousy got between them, a bitterness and a hate so strong it could only have started with love. Friuch lost his mind to the hate, as did Rucht. They fought, and they forgot everything else… and then they woke up as Bulls. The White Horned Bull of Cruachán and the Donn Culaigne. This story is told by Aron.
