Story ArchaeologyA Conversation with Sana MalikSana Malik grew up in Pakistan, and has been a widely travelled humanitarian aid-worker. Ireland is now her spiritual home. Join Chris and Sana as they discuss two favourite Irish stories, 'The Voyage of Bran' and the 'Story of Sinann', exploring 'Silver Branch Perception' and the relatabilty of mythology to the voyages of life.

Een methode waarbij vrouwen (maar ook mannen) met elkaar delen, ademen, dansen en andere oefeningen doen, om te helen. En ook in gesprek gaan met hun baarmoeder, vragen wat die nodig heeft.

Anarres ProjectWhat is Celtic Futurism?On this episode of Conversations on Anarres, we talk with Irish historian, Dr. Christopher J.V. Loughlin, who has been examining ancient Irish tales of sea voyages, the immrama,-- which literally means tales of "rowing about". He finds within them the seeds of a unique brand of speculative thinking he calls Celtic Futurism.
Many of these immrama stories date back to the 7th and 8th centuries CE and detail journeys to far away spiritual lands with mystical elements and fantastic creatures. Dr. Loughlin argues that these stories help us to talk about Irish speculative fiction and the...

Racontour Archive 2008 - 2019ImmramAn immram (/ˈɪmrəm/; plural immrama; Irish: iomramh, IPA: [ˈʊmˠɾˠəw], voyage) is a class of Old Irish tales concerning a hero's sea journey to the Otherworld (see Tír na nÓg and Mag Mell). Written in the Christian era and essentially Christian in aspect, they preserve elements of Irish mythology.
The immrama are identifiable by their focus on the exploits of the heroes during their search for the Otherworld, located in these cases in the islands far to the west of Ireland. The hero sets out on his voyage for the sake of adventure or to fulfill...
