Finally, the mystery of the great Dagda's Club is revealed as he seeks a way to bring his dead son back to life. We also hear an alternate story about the Dagda and Aengus in the Brugh Na Boyne.

We celebrate the Autumn Equinox with some amazing pieces of music, a poem by W B Yeats and a traditional Scottish folk-tale.

Today we hear the tale of Tuan and Saint Finnian, one of the best shape-changing myths in the Celtic mythos. Set in historical times, we look back through history with the meeting of Tuan the Immortal. This episode is slightly longer than normal at 47 minutes - sorry, we just didn't want to break this story :)

Set in the time of the Kingship of the great Dagda, this tale tells the story of the birth of Aengus Mac Og and how his foster-father, Midir, fell in love with the most beautiful woman in all Erin.

The Children of Danu choose Bodb Dearg as a new High King for themselves much to King Lir's displeasure. To bring the clans together, Bodb's foster-daughter marries Lir and bears four beautiful children to him. Sadly she dies and Lir marries her sister, who in jealousy curses the Children and turns them all into swans..

We've got some great stuff for this Holiday Special. For the first time, we've got three pieces of fantastic music, a section from an unpublished book about the Celtic traditions for Lughnasadh and a great section of an Arthurian Fantasy by Kelley Heckart: White Rose of Avalon.

The Sons of Mil take possession of the Emerald Isle, leaving the Tuatha De Danaan to retreat underground. We join the story as the Children of Danu choose a new High King to guide them...

The Sons of Mil finally break through the magic of the Children of Danu and land on the shores of Erin. They demand recompense for the death of their kin and negotiations take place. Now it is up to the Tuatha De Danaan - will they fight, flee or come up with another plan? And yet, the great Bard Amergin also has a trick or two up his sleeve!

With the last of the Fomori driven from the land, the Children of Danu leave the Emerald Isle in the hands of their descendants - but to what cost?

We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. The second half contains an amazing poem called The Shadow House of Lugh, a story from The Fire of Belenus by William Russeth and some music.

We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. So we've divided the episode into two parts. The first part contains a reading from The Religion of the Ancient Celts, another from a modern book called Fairy Healing, some music, and a story by Willie Meikle called The First Silkie.

What makes me think I can 'read' Enya's music? A big bird, Edgar Allen Poe, told me maybe... how this special raven can keep ringing my bells, keeping me ravenous, seemingly evermore. So - I found the comb caught up in winds of passion, I rang a lot of bells, bells, bells... now what? Where's a groom, my lady Amarantine? If you can read Enya's (lyrical) meanings any better, confer with me please. ;-) Ennio - Enya or ... M.oriconne - Ms.orinoco and ... Father of Spaghetti Westerns was Sergio Leone - Father of Enya was Sire Leo Brennen Names ring a bell? - Only the bells have no names. I had fun doing this video and I surely hope you'll enjoy seeing/reading this, my 2nd video. Enya may hear bells, perhaps suffer occasional interruption from bells tolling near her home or studio. Christchurch tower in Dublin and Killiney Obeleisk have been depicted in this vid, along with Poe's Fordham University bell tower, (over to the west.) Ashford is the final bell tower sound. Enya writes BEAUTIFUL poetry - into music. Take as you will from my thoughts on this, and enjoy it in fun, please! ~ 1236bigcat ----------------------------------- Related: Audio clips are from MGM's "Fistfull of Dollars", the "Good, the Bad and the Ugly." and the old film classic, the "Wizard of Oz." Background space photos are distant galaxies, taken by NASA's Hubble. --- Elsewhere: The Bells, Date: c1845 This poem (Bells) can be interpreted in many different ways, the most basic of which is simply a reflection of the sounds that bells can make, and the emotions evoked from that sound. For example, "From the bells bells bells bells/Bells bells bells!" brings to mind the clamoring of myriad church bells. Several deeper interpretations exist as well. One is that the poem is a representation of life from the nimbleness of youth to the pain of age. Growing despair is emphasized alongside the growing frenzy in the tone of the poem.[1] Another is the passing of the seasons, from spring to winter. The passing of the seasons is often used as a metaphor for life itself. The poem also suggests a Poe theme of mourning over a lost wife, courted in sledge, married and then killed in a fire as the husband looks on. The tolling of the iron bells reflects the final madness of the grief-stricken husband. The sounds of the verses, specifically the repetitive "bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells," lie on a narrow line between sense and nonsense, causing a feeling of instability.[2] Poe uses the word "tintinnabulation", which many critics believe is merely an onomatopoeic nonsense term. Poe biographer Hervey Allen suggests the word is based on an ancient bell-based instrument called "tintinabula".[3] The series of "bells" echo the imagined sounds of the various bells, from the silver bells following the klip-klop of the horses, to the "dong, ding-dong" of the swinging golden and iron bells, to screeching "whee-aaah" of the brazen bells. The series are always four, followed by three, always beginning and ending on a stressed syllable. The meter changes to iambic in the lines with repeated "bells," bringing the reader into their rhythm. Most of the poem is a more hurried anapestic (**/) meter.[citation needed] The bells of which he writes are thought to be those he heard from Fordham University's bell tower, since Poe resided in the same Bronx neighborhood as that university. He also frequently strolled about Fordham's campus conversing with both the students and the Jesuits. --- Poe is believed to have written "The Bells" in May of 1848 and submitted it three times to Sartrain's Union Magazine, a magazine run by John Sartain, until it was finally accepted. He was paid fifteen dollars for his work, though it was not published until after his death in November 1849. Inspiration for the poem is often granted to Marie Louise Shew, a woman who had helped care for Poe's wife Virginia as she lay dying. One day, as Shew was visiting Poe at his cottage in Fordham, New York, Poe needed to write a poem but had no inspiration. Shew allegedly heard ringing bells from afar and playfully suggested to start there, possibly even writing the first line of each stanza. ---------------------------------- Author: 1236bigcat Keywords: Edgar Allen Poe Raven Enya Bells Spaghetti spagetti orinoco moriconne leone western Eastwood Celts poetry Added: June 23, 2008
