mythicalireland's video: LIVE IRISH MYTHS EPISODE 216: Charles Squire s Celtic Myth part 1

To celebrate the third anniversary of the beginning of the Live Irish Myths livestreams, tonight we will return to the very beginning, and the work of Charles Squire. His book, Celtic Myth & Legend: Poetry & Romance, was published in 1912 by the Gresham Publishing Company, London, and serves for many as an introduction to the subject of Irish and Celtic/British mythology and lore. In the very first episode of Live Irish Myths, I read from this book. Today, we return to begin a series of episodes in which we will read from Squire's book. The reading will not be an uncritical one, because Squire's work does have flaws, but on the whole it is a very good place from which to start learning about Irish mythology, as it was for me way back in 1999 when I began my own journey into our ancient legends. =============================== Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to this channel for the very best videos about ancient Ireland, our mythology, megalithic sites, astronomical alignments, archaeological discoveries and much more.
