Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

270 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago - ★★★★★ - 99 ratings

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

April 18, 2021 18:00 - 41 minutes - 96.2 MB

Welcome to the Invasions Series. We are talking about the new series starting a new series of connected and yet self contained stories for the Podcast. This is the very first story in the Celtic Mythic Cycles… if you go chronologically. Cesaire was the first woman to land on the show of the Island of destiny that became this land we call Ireland today. She came from the Land of Merrow’s in the South, and some say this was modern day Libya. We will be talking about this story in more detail...

Episode 103 The Voyage of Mael Duin

April 07, 2021 18:30 - 37 minutes - 85.7 MB

For the last episode of the Voyage Series we are delighted to be telling the story of Meal Duinn. This one has a little different flavor to the others, although very similar. Meal Duinn finds out he is not who he thought he was, and his father is not who he thought. He then has to come to terms with the obligations of warrior code, to find the murderer of his father. What he didn’t expect was to be thrown off into the otherworld to race around twenty seven islands… (you can keep count and se...

Episode 102 - Caoilte's Fast: Candlelit Tales Livestream Irish Storytelling Special Teaser

Candlelit Tales will broadcast a special show on Easter Sunday at (19:00GMT) live-streamed from a studio in Dublin. 2021 has started without much to write home about. We are still in lockdown, and we are all collectively straining to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking back to the stories of the Fianna, we have a very special voyage tale to tell you about, and it is the story of the grey thin man, Caoilte Mac Ronán. The legendary hero could run faster than anyone in the Fianna, ...

Episode 99 - Oisín and Saint Patrick - Post Show Chats

March 22, 2021 19:00 - 43 minutes - 99.2 MB

You might hear mention this time of year of the man who saved the Pagan Irish and brought them the Good News. But not all of the Pagan Irish were happy about that. The ancient warriors of Ireland had their own code. A code of generosity, hospitality, and courage. In other words, they were terrible sinners. This is our chat about that conversation. We look back and talk about who Oisín was and the story we all know of him (at least here in Ireland) The story of Oisin and Tír na Nóg - if you ...

Episode - 98 - Oisín and Saint Patrick

March 17, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 143 MB

You might hear mention this time of year of the man who saved the Pagan Irish and brought them the Good News. But not all of the Pagan Irish were happy about that. The ancient warriors of Ireland had their own code. A code of generosity, hospitality, and courage. In other words, they were terrible sinners. This is the conversation that happened when a warrior poet met a slave-turned-monk. They talked about gods and heroes, the nature of truth, about how Patrick went toe-to-toe with the Devi...

Episode 95 - Brendan the Navigator

March 04, 2021 11:21 - 17 minutes - 39.9 MB

We are starting a month of Voyage Tales - and the first one up is Brendan the Navigator, also known as the Voyage of Brendan. This brings us to a timeline after the fae and the magical god like people of Ireland, when a new belief was in the land. Brandan was spiritual and keen to help his fellow man. He made a name for himself throughout the many voyages he undertook, across the British isles and many more far flung places. His journey to the Blessed Land is one that comes up in European t...

Episode 94 - Goddess Series - Post Show Chats

March 02, 2021 02:17 - 1 hour - 215 MB

This is the last post show chat episode in this month’s ‘Goddess Stories’. We chat went live for this one and talked about Cnoc Aine and the difficulty of talking about rape in a story. As well as chatting with Melanie Lynch, the founder of Herstory - a festival all about bringing backstories of famous women in mythology and history.

Episode 93 - Cnoc Áine

February 24, 2021 19:30 - 20 minutes - 47.7 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. This episode is the last in this month’s series of Goddess Stories. And it is a tough one. Trigger warning, this story contains subject matter of a sexual nature and rape that some listeners may find distressing. Cnoc Aine is all about the goddess that is based in Limerick. She was a goddess of light. A goddess of the sun, and the moon. She was known for her brigh...

Episode 92 - Sadhbh's Story - Post Show Chat

February 23, 2021 11:50 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. This episode is the post show chat about the previous, pretty dark tale. Trigger warning, this story contains subject matter of abuse and even psychological torture… but then most good myths have something pretty dark just under the surface. We chat about how much better a story is when you shine light on the full aspect. Aron told the story of Fionn meeting Sadhbh...

Episode 91 - Sadhbh's Story

February 17, 2021 19:30 - 29 minutes - 67.5 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. Aron told the story of Fionn meeting Sadhbh way back in episode 14 but, this time Sorcha tells a reimagining of the story from Sadhbh’s perspective. In the Fianna Fionn Mac Coole was the great leader, but there is an old Irish proverb that says “a man is a man when his woman is a woman”. And though we usually know the story of Sadhbh from Fionn’s perspective, this c...

Episode 90 - Tonn Cliodhna - Post Show Chats

February 15, 2021 19:00 - 38 minutes - 87.7 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. This episode is a conversation about the last episode and about the largely forgotten Goddess Clionadh. She is known to some as the Patron Goddess of Cork (so the draw for Aron was an obvious one). She is also known as the Queen of the Banshee, and people in Glandore (Near Rosscarbery in west Cork) will know the expression ‘tonn Clionadh’ well; the wave of Clionadh...

Episode 89 - Tonn Clíodhna

February 10, 2021 19:30 - 19 minutes - 44.4 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. This episode is dedicated to the Goddess Clionadh. She is known to some as the Patron Goddess of Cork (so the draw for Aron was an obvious one). She is also known as the Queen of the Banshee, and people in Glandore (Near Rosscarbery in west Cork) will know the expression ‘tonn Clionadh’ well; the wave of Clionadh. The story is unusual as she is one of the few eterna...

Episode 88 - A Goddess Story - Post Show Chats

February 08, 2021 19:00 - 46 minutes - 106 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. This episode we are talking (and arguing) about the ambiguities of Irish Mythology. Sorcha once said that working with “Irish Myth is like painting in water”... that may be a quote from somewhere else, but I like it (and I just heard my sister say it so I think it’s fair to just quote her?). We’re talking about the Goddess Danu, and the Goddess stories that were los...

Episode 87 - A Goddess Story

February 03, 2021 15:43 - 19 minutes - 43.9 MB

This month we are celebrating the Goddess Brigid and her feast day of Imbolc by releasing a month filled with Goddess stories. The first is one of the most ambiguous ones… as there are no written sources to find much about the Goddess who gave her name to the people we know as the Tuath de Dannan - the people of the Goddess Danu. Those that later became known as the “sidh”, the “good people”, and as time went by the “faeries”. More and more is forgotten about our old customs, language, and ...

Episode 86 - The Champions Portion - Post Show Chats Live Stream

February 01, 2021 22:46 - 1 hour - 156 MB

This post show chat deals with the final Part of our recent two-part story, ‘The Champions Portion’. As ever there was plenty to talk about and we love this one dearly… we miss telling it live during December, because although it may come across as a heavy battle ridden tale, the comic factor is very evident in live shows… because this story is gas! Although one of the most famous heroes of Irish Myth, Cúchulainn was not always granted the title of Ulsters Champion. To be a champion of the p...

Episode 85 - The Champion's Portion

January 27, 2021 19:30 - 29 minutes - 66.9 MB

Part-two of this two-part story ends with this episode, ‘The Champions Portion’. Although one of the most famous heroes of Irish Myth, Cúchulainn was not always granted the title of Ulsters Champion. To be a champion of the people took more than sheer strength and brilliance, you had to be the champion of the people, loyal and true to your word in every way. Cúchulainn’s championship is contested by his fierce cousin Conal Cearnach, the Battle Winer, and the well-meaning, (but often in the ...

Episode 84 - Bricrius Feast - Post Show Chats

January 24, 2021 23:29 - 18 minutes - 42.6 MB

This post show chat was recorded in early January while Aron and Srocha were still in a bubble after being home in Cork for the Holidays. We missed the feastivities but enjoyed looking back over this great story full of feasts and the glorious fighting. The first part this two parter episode this deals with Bichru of the Bitter tongue, and his attempt to host a feast. This section of the story is also known as ‘Bichru’s Feast’ in Richard Marsh's book 'Irish King and Hero Tales'. As his title...

Episode 83 - Bricriu's Feast

January 20, 2021 19:42 - 36 minutes - 83.5 MB

It is mid-January and we’re all missing the festive season just gone by. So, to look back at feasts and the glorious fighting that takes place over them, (in Irish feasts at least) we are releasing a two-part episode of a story known as ‘The Champions Portion’. The first part of this deals with Bichru of the Bitter tongue, and his attempt to host a feast. This section of the story is also known as ‘Bichru’s Feast’ in Richard Marsh's book 'Irish King and Hero Tales'. As his title suggests he...

Episode 82 - The Death Of Conal Cearnach - Post Show Chats

January 17, 2021 00:00 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

Ending our death series on a lighter note with the post show chat we had about the death of Conall Cearnach, the second greatest hero of Ulster. Our holiday bubble came to a sudden end early in January, and just before Sorcha returned home to Dublin, we had a chance to chat about the death of this great hero. We also enjoyed the deepening of her Cork accent and generally shite talked about how enjoyable the death series was for us and why it’s important to look back on these set of stories....

Episode 81 - Death Of Conal Cearnach

January 13, 2021 19:29 - 13 minutes - 30.5 MB

Ending our death series on a lighter note (can you have a lighter note in a Death series?) is the story of Conall Cearnach, the second greatest hero of Ulster. Always the runner-up to his younger cousin, Cúchulainn, Conall was spectacular in his own way. Crooked necked and touched with an otherworldly beauty, he was vicious in battle and boasted that he never went to bed without the severed head of a Connaughtman under his knee. But what happens to a hero who is unbeatable? Who is so fier...

Episode 80 - The Death of CuChulainn - Post Show Chats

January 12, 2021 20:17 - 26 minutes - 60.3 MB

The penultimate story in our Death Series is the death of one of the greatest of all heroes: Cúchulainn. This story and discussion was recorded in early 2020, though we thought the better of releasing tales of glorious death at the time… turns out now is as good a time as any. Cúchulainn’s death was long foretold. From the moment he took up arms as a boy, he knew that his life would be brief, and full of pain. But he knew that his story would stay on the lips of storytellers until the end o...

Episode 79 - The Death Of CúChulainn

January 06, 2021 19:30 - 27 minutes - 61.8 MB

The penultimate story in our Death Series is the death of one of the greatest of all heroes: Cúchulainn. This story and discussion was recorded in early 2020, though we though the better of releasing tales of glorious death at the time. Cúchulainn’s death was long foretold. From the moment he took up arms as a boy, he knew that his life would be brief, and full of pain. But he knew that his story would stay on the lips of storytellers until the end of time, and that seemed a good bargain to...

Episode 78 - The Death Of Medb - Post Show Chat

January 04, 2021 19:29 - 50 minutes - 116 MB

We are talking about the Death of Medbh in this episode and we also talk about our online storytelling course. The storytelling course is 2 hours per week, Saturdays from 3-5 pm over 6 weeks, starting on the 9th of January. Each session will start with a short lecture on the day's theory topic, and the rest of the session is interactive practical exercises, exploring that aspect of storytelling that we have chosen. We are pricing it at €50 per class (so €300 in total) but if you are intere...

Episode 77 - The Death Of Medb

December 30, 2020 19:30 - 18 minutes - 41.5 MB

Fourth in our Death Series is the death of the Woman King herself, Medb of Connaught. Medb’s family was a strange one, and her infamous sister Clothru cast a long shadow. In later days, the kings of Ireland made every effort to trace their lineages back to her, however much her actions came under question. For her part, Medb chose to retire, as many great rulers did, passing on the throne of Connaught to her successor and going to live in peace and seclusion. But her past deeds, and her t...

Episode 76 The Death of Conchubar Mac Nessa - Post Show Chat

December 27, 2020 19:00 - 35 minutes - 81.1 MB

Third in our Death Series is the strange and prolonged death of Conchubar Mac Nessa, King of Ulster, and in this episode we chat about the connection he had with the one and only Jesus Christ. Timely too seeing as its just gone Christmas and the celebration of the birth of the same man… but this episode is dedicated to a boy born on the 26th of December 2020, and that boys name is Anthony Nahual Hegarty, our brothers first born child. Now back to th mythology... Conchubar is a wily king and ...

Episode 75 - The Death Of Conchubar Mac Nessa

December 23, 2020 19:30 - 20 minutes - 46.4 MB

Third in our Death Series is the strange and prolonged death of Conchubar Mac Nessa, King of Ulster. Conchubar is a wily king and remembered as a great leader. As well as sound judgement, he was a man of great beauty, and great vanity. Over the years, we’ve come to wonder at his wonderful reputation, but there’s no doubt that he left a lasting legacy. At some time in the retelling of this tale, Concubar’s birth and death was linked with another mythic figure, from far away, in the East. ...

Episode 74 -The Death Of Celtchar Mac Utherchar - Post Show Chat

December 23, 2020 16:27 - 19 minutes - 45.4 MB

The second in our Death series, this story and discussion was recorded in early 2020. We decided at the time that stories of glorious death might not be the thing to be releasing, so we shelved them for a while. He has to have one of the greatest names in Irish mythology: Celtchar Mac Uthechar. A lesser-known hero of the Ulaid, Celtchar appears in some of the stories of the Ulster Cycle, but his greatest story is the story of his death. A quest to rid Ulster of its three greatest pests, thi...

Episode 73 - The Death Of Celtchar Mac Utherchar

December 17, 2020 08:00 - 17 minutes - 40.5 MB

He has to have one of the greatest names in Irish mythology: Celtchar Mac Uthechar. A lesser-known hero of the Ulaid, Celtchar appears in some of the stories of the Ulster Cycle, but his greatest story is the story of his death. A quest to rid Ulster of its three greatest pests, this story is one of the most determined to ignore linear time of any story in Irish mythology, and that’s saying something! Produced and edited by Oisin Ryan, with music by Oisin Ryan, story by Sorcha Hegarty and Ar...

Episode 72 - The Death Of Cú Roi Mac Daire - Post Show Live Chat

December 16, 2020 18:20 - 1 hour - 139 MB

He captured Blaned and clearly raped her, yet she “betrays” him and the moral of this story was “never trust women?”... what? Link to a bigger meaning, cultural context - how relevant are these stories.

Episode 71 - The Death of Cú Roi Mac Daire

December 09, 2020 19:30 - 11 minutes - 26.6 MB

The first of our Death Series to round out what has been a hell of a year! Death Stories are their own genre in Irish mythology and the last chance anyone has at what our ancestors thought of as immortality: to be talked about, as long as there were people to talk about you and storytellers to tell your tale. Cú Roi Mac Daire is a powerful, enigmatic figure around the fringes of the Ulster Cycle. A mysterious warrior and wielder of magic, he was sometimes friendly to the Ulaid and sometime...

Cuchulainn awakes after a healing sleep to see the hills burning. The boys troop stood in his place, buying time for the heroes of the Ulster Red Branch to awake… Sorcha read somewhere once upon a time, that An Táin Bó Culaigne was the tale that should be told after dark and in the dark half of the year.
