mythicalireland's video: Live Irish Myths episode 139: The Adventures of Art Mac Conn

In this episode of Live Irish Myths, I will read the story Eachtra Airt Meic Cuind, The Adventures of Art Mac Conn. Art was one of the early traditional high kings of Ireland at Tara. Many of the stories of the kings are considered to be later in composition than the Ulster Cycle tales, but this one is interesting because it has the hallmarks of a tale that belongs to the Old Irish tradition. It has some wonderful elements, including superstitions regarding the kingship, visits to the otherworld or Land of Wonders, mystery women figures and even some fascinating references to Teach Aenghusa an Brodha (Newgrange).
