    R. Rose, author of Desires (A Legacy Novel) brings you: A World of Myths & Legends Episode One - From Ireland - "The Dead"

    R. Rose, author of Desires (A Legacy Novel) brings you: A World of Myths & Legends Episode One - From Ireland - "The Dead"
    Every corner of the Earth has it own myths & legends. Stories that have been passed down through the generations, hundreds and even thousands of years in the making. Derived from a time before the written word when warnings, omens, and tales of heroes & villains were shared by word of mouth through storytelling. I love this world where the impossible to believe might actually have been possible and I would like to introduce you to it. Join me for this series of podcasts as I share with you the characters, myths and legends of the world we live in. “Nowhere in the nineteenth century did interest in folklore and mythology have a more thorough revival than in Ireland. There, in 1887, Lady Francesca Speranza Wilde, Oscar Wilde’s mother and a well-known author in her own right, compiled this collection of charming, authentic folk tales.” — excerpt from Dover (2006) unabridged republication of Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, & Superstitions of Ireland, originally published by Chatto and Windus, London, 1919.368pp. 5 3/8 X 8 ½. Paperbound. Over the next couple of episodes, I will read to you some of these myths, legends and superstitions. Keep in mind that Lady Wilde made this collection in 1887, more than 126 years ago, as you listen to the stories told in her words. And now, without further delay, I bring to you from Ireland...Episode One - "The Dead."

    Finnegan's Wake

    by The Brobdignagian Bards

    Scottish and Irish folk songs combined with the Lord of the Rings music and a wee bit o'Celtic fun. The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brob-din-nahg-EE-en) are The Original Celtic Renaissance music duo from Austin, Texas. Their unique brand of folk music on the autoharp, recorder, and mandolin has made them one of the most-popular Celtic music groups online where they give away thousands of free Celtic MP3 downloads daily.

    The Brobdingnagian Bards have been amazed and gratified by the outpouring of love and support from their fans over the last 10 years. Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee have had the good fortune to meet interesting people, see new places, and, most importantly, have fun every step of the way throughout their journey together. After much soul searching, the time has come for them to follow their own artistic pursuits for a while. See the Contributor pages for the Brobdingnagian Bards and Marc Gunn for more details.

In short, the New Order of Druids (or N.O.D. in short) was formed as a "Free Celtic Online Community for those who seek the Druid Path", but in the mean time, it has grown to become much more than that, also implementing an Online Druid College called "Grove of Dana", and founding local groves in the world.
