Lovely. I studied Irish literature for my MA half a lifetime ago but with more focus on the modern and I wish I’d been able to delve into more of the medieval Christian material. I took a class on the heroic tradition which traced it from medieval texts through the Irish literary revival and down to today. It was quite good. But my professors were not interested in Christian themes. We did touch on some of the medical Christian texts in an undergrad Irish history class I took. I remember reading about St Patrick and St Malachy.

This is all so good. Any recommendation on where to dive into more of this Irish writing and worldview? Should I start with King of Mysteries?
Thank you so much! Yes, definitely start there! Another great book is Ireland’s Immortals by Mark Williams.
Awesome. Added to my list. Gonna start telling people my belief in fairies is a matter of heritage
Wonderful piece of writing 🥰
I too like to remind people of the magic in this world and it's always nice to see someone on the same path!
