Whoa... he had a stroke then! That kind of makes him a physical therapy icon, from a certain perspective - having a stroke and continuing to fight the best he can. Never knew that bit. Every time I hear this story told, I hear a new detail. Thank you!
Yes I want to hear more. There are so many legends from Ireland, that are so interesting. Please continue with them. The only thing that I didn't hear was which county the rock was located. Thanks again.
@@WolfeMomma I like your user name, reminds me of Virgo, where you find the Dog Kennel, stars known as the Howler and the Barker, her breast Stars, 9 months before September is December. The 8th of September is Mary's birthday, on December 8th, the Sun is in the Cave of Ophiuchus, the 7 main stars form the shape of a Cave Door, pyramidal at its top. Sagittarius is known as the Hips & Thighs, Scorpio the Sexual Organ, making Ophiuchus the Womb of the Goddess, across from Sagittarius is Gemini the Twins, associated with the arms, for holding the Twins Romulus and Remus, raised by the She Wolf in her Cave. Play the words "Boy/Girl - Beyond The Mist - Say There Is A Guest" in reverse, it will echo "Sagittarius - Gemini - Virgo" Virgo is Latin for Virgin, 'vir' is Latin for Man, 'gyne' is Greek for Woman, placed together, Virgyne; Virgin, a Man/Woman, as the echo for Virgo is Boy/Girl, and September, "Her Mistress", the Echo to September. My name is Weylyn means Son of the Wolf, I better end it here, or you might think I'm hitting on you, which I'm not.
WOLFIE MOMMA PLEASE KEEP DOING MORE LIKE THIS IT REMINDS ME OF SITTING WITH MY LATE NAN FROM COUNTY KERRY WHO TOLD US AMAZING STORIES. HUGE VIRTUAL HUGS TO YOU AND YOURS GOD BLESS!🙏
Loved your retelling of the tales of CúChulainn,one thing though which was/is important to the tale is that of "The Pangs of Ulster", perhaps you could go further into the whole myth.☺
Love these Irish stories! I have a read a series set in Ireland called the sevenwaters trilogy and she weaves all these stories into the main story told as the characters sit and eat around the fire a story is told and I always love rereading them. This one was told a bit different but it ended where he killed his own son. I’d love to hear more.
People need to remember, years ago there was no TV or radio and so story telling was a big part of entertainment. Some of the stories seem far fetched but as my Irish teacher (Mícheál Ó Siochrú) said is it any different today? Dallas, Bobby coming back from the dead after 1 year (I was in school in the late 70's), Mission Impossible, death defying stunts start to finish, Bond? People are not entertained by the ordinary. Where Cu Chulainn fougth Ferdia was Ardee Co. Louth (Irish name Ath Fherdia, Ferdia's fort), they fought in the middle of the river. Scrathach taught Ferdia as well but Cu Chulainn was her favourite so she gave him a secret weapon, the 'ga bolga', a spear that opened out when it entered the body (bolga = stomach) and couldn't be removed. That's what did for poor Ferdia. Cu Chulainn had to use it they were so evenly matched. Also in school, we did a Irish poem about Cu Chulainn and Connla, Truagh sin a aon fhearr Aoife, how Connla couldn't give his name and Cu Chulainn lamenting the fact he didn't give it and he had killed his only son. The Irish sport of hurling was used to train warriors (speed, skill & bravery) and to this day hurlers are referred to, and indeed are, warriors (just look-up Limerick Clare Munster hurling final 2022) in TH-cam. One thing, I believe Setanta hurled the sliotar rather than throwing it to kill the hound.
Unfortunately you left out the curse cast upon the men of Ulster by Dierdre, Conor’s queen, who when nearing her pregnancy due date was made to race another Kings horse, both the horse and the queen were the fastest and Conor claimed his queen could out run the horse. Dierdre did not want to run but Conor told her he would be dishonoured so she agreed. She beat the horse but immediately went into labour. Once the baby was born she cursed the men of Ulster that in the time of Ulster’s greatest danger all would be struck down for 5 days with labour pains. When Maeve attacked, she came to the ford of the river that was Ulster’s border. She was unableto cross as Cu Cuchlan stood in the way and used the right of Champion to fight her champions one on one and that as long as he was victorious Maeve must wait. He wanted to delay her army long enough for the Ulstermen to recover. He managed to defeat all opponents until Maeve cheated and sent two warriors. He won but was so angry that at night he attacked her camp while in the throes of his Warp Spasm killing a great number ofwarriors but suffered many wounds. His charioteer took him to a cave where his father Lugh gave him a magic draught that made him sleep for 3 days. The Ulstermen were still in labour and the young boys went to fight the southern army. They were all killed and Maeve stolethe bull. Cu Cuchlan woke up too late. Cu Cuchlan is my favourite hero and there are many fascinating and tangled myths and stories of him. In my opinion he was the greatest warrior and hero anywhere.
I'd love to hear about Grainne Mhaol from you.
Whoa... he had a stroke then! That kind of makes him a physical therapy icon, from a certain perspective - having a stroke and continuing to fight the best he can. Never knew that bit. Every time I hear this story told, I hear a new detail. Thank you!

Thanks! I love the old legends 😀 The rock is in County Louth, north of Dublin. It's now on my bucket list to visit! 😄
Read James Stevens "Irish fairytales". I'm sure you'll love it

I am irish/scottish and Norwegian. We have some very famous warriors between these three ethnicities. Very proud to be a Macneil😎💪🏻
Absolutely want to hear more! Nothing like Irish lore and legend! Loved your telling of the tale! Please treat us to MORE!
Wonderful legend. Would make a great movie or Series. Thanks

Me too ☺️☺️☺️
I just finished reading Red Branch by Morgan Llywelyn all about The Hound. I love his story and your overview! ❤
This was great. I would love to hear about the Irish afterlife/Otherworld. I believe it's called Tír Na Nóg ?
Lindsey, this was enjoyable. Thank you.
Please, please do more videos like it on Irish myths and folklore.

In Táin Bó Cúailnge he transforms via "ríastrad" which is a warp spasm. The details are so neat in how that happens.
Love the stories narrated by you. Always too short. Wait for more. Feel like 5yo boy.
Definitely a part 2 required!
I’d love to hear about Cú Roí. With or without Cú Chulainn
Wonderful! Loving your videos!
Your stories are amazing and your accent is great for me to hone my english. I wish everyone in Ireland spoke with that brilliant accent
you can absolutely tell that a lot of the American accent comes from the Irish accent
She's a great storyteller. Two take aways. Ulster was the place with the action . The females in Irish Mythology were tre dangereux.
I’m so happy you’re back!!! And yes, more please!!!
Loved your retelling of the tales of CúChulainn,one thing though which was/is important to the tale is that of "The Pangs of Ulster", perhaps you could go further into the whole myth.☺

A few inaccuracies, and missing crucial information, but overall a fine summary.
Could you go through Deirdre an Bhróin’s story?
❤️👉🇮🇳

My daughter loves the rock song of Cú Chulainn

Cu Cuchlan is my favourite hero and there are many fascinating and tangled myths and stories of him. In my opinion he was the greatest warrior and hero anywhere.
