It’s Brigid’s Day, the first of February, also known as Imbolg in the ancient tales. We decided to talk you through some of what we’ve learned over the years of telling stories about this fire festival. Sorcha mentions the book “The Year in Ireland” by Kevin Danaher, and we’d highly recommend you try and get your hands on it if you’re interested in this topic, though it is currently out of print. Eithne Massey’s “The Turning of the Year” is also a lovely volume, combining information about seasonal celebrations with folktales and myths linked to particular times of the year. Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This podcast includes Sorcha’s idea of what jokes are, which may be painfully cringe for some listeners/viewers.
