The Fianna - Deardubh, Fionn & Aillil - Irish Mythology Storytelling - Episode 265

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.

In this episode, we continue our series on the Fianna, the Fianna Saga, with a particularly memorable arrival at Tara. We might all know the Salmon of Knowledge story or the burning of Tara at Samhain, but this tale offers a fresh perspective on this legendary chapter. My sister, Sorcha, told this story.

Before we dive in, we’d like to take a moment to thank our sponsor for this episode—Tigh’n Alluis, the Irish Sweat House. This family-run business, created by siblings, two brothers, is reviving Ireland’s ancient sweat house tradition. Places that were once used for healing, restoration, easing rheumatism to curing colds.
Positioned in the stunning location in the Dublin mountains overlooking the Wicklow and the Irish Sea, Tigh’n Alluis blends old Irish mythology with holistic practices, using the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—to create a sauna experience like no other. You’ll leave feeling restored, refreshed, and connected to an age-old Irish healing tradition.
You’ll find more about them in the show notes—be sure to check them out.
