Episode 15- The Curse of Macha

The Embers Collective Storytelling and Music Podcast

Welcome to Episode 15 of The Embers Podcast, recorded in Tottenham, London. This time around we have Lonan Jenkins telling the story of The Curse of Macha from The Ulster Cycle in Celtic Mythology. Music by the wonderful Tim Karp. The story is followed by a chat about Celtic Mythology, its importance in the Irish narrative, and the Power of The Poet both then and now. Lonan chats about our wonderful friends Candlelit Tales across the pond, and how he got into storytelling. We also chat about an interview with the incredible Dr Billy Mag Fhloinn on the Blindboy podcast who runs Pagan Rave Festival in Ireland, and what us Embers are up to for the rest of the summer. Especially our upcoming Dalston Curve Garden event in August with Woodburner and Stumble Tip Theatre. Enjoy.
