Irish Mythology: A Short Introduction

Before the leprechauns, before St Patrick, and long before Ireland was ever written into history, there were the Tuatha Dé Danann. In this video, we explore the ancient origins of Irish mythology and the legendary people who shaped it. Journey back to a time of gods, warriors, giants, and fae folk as the Tuatha Dé Danann arrive in Ireland, battle the Fir Bolg, clash with the monstrous Fomorians, and eventually face the coming of the Milesians. But this is more than a tale of war. It is the story of how the gods of Ireland became the hidden people of the Otherworld, retreating beneath the ancient hills and mounds of the land. It is the story of the Sidhe, the origins of the fae folk, and the enduring mysteries that still echo through Irish folklore today. #folklore #mythology #irishmythology #celticmythology #fairytales #faefolk #tuathadedanann #sidhe #storyteller #storytelling #storytime #outdoorlife #outdooradventure #ireland #stonecircle #historymystery #mythologyexplained #hilloftara #otherworld #pagan #paganism
