1. Myth, Story and Traditions of the Land

Sharon Blackie, a psychologist and mythologist, and Manchán Magan, a writer and documentary-maker, discuss reconnecting with our land through myth and ancestral wisdom. They emphasize the importance of storytelling in fostering respect for nature and sustainable practices. The conversation journeys through folk tales that deepen our cultural heritage and explore the ancient Irish practice of the king's union with the goddess of the land. They also touch on gendered symbols in nature and invite listeners to share their intuitive connections with the environment.
