I’ve been working in the outback of Australia in various aboriginal communities for years, very similar traditions and stories to back home. Very similar entities , sacred places, curses and mischievous and benevolent spirits. I’ve seen a few unusual things out there that I can’t explain.
Just love listening to this guy, it reminded me of the times I spent over in Longford on my grandads farm..We used to sit talking like this telling stories in front of the peat fire for hours and hours, no television we didn’t need it cos the room was bursting with characters..Brilliant, thanks for this, love ❤️ from Leeds ☮️
Excellent listening you should get another sit down with Eddie in a quieter atmosphere and ask him a few questions regarding princess Scotia and the Egyptian Irish connection, would also love to hear him talk in dept about the druids and megalithic structures of Ireland.
some of the Egyptian connection stories originated in the 1700s when Egyptology was at it height and native history was regarded as dirty. archology speaking those, there is evidence between the middle east / Africa and Ireland
After reading most of Eddie's books, I love hearing and watching him tell the same stories. So authentic. If only all storytellers thorough the ages could come back and tell us of their societies from a first-person source like Eddie does, history would not remotely resemble what has been written in the pages of history.
i met Eddie when i was down in loughan house prison, he came in to tell some story's and the few lads that bothered to go up to the school to listen to him wished he would have come every week. a true gentleman if there ever was..
As a Belfast Man, I got a good laugh out of the Gerry Adams comment. 😂 , Great talk lads, and girls, Could of been 3 hours long and I’d of watched every bit, Good job.
Hey I live in the middle of Indiana USA and i loved this pod cast. Im not Irish im half Scottish. I had to laugh a little when you talked about the polish guy not celebrating Halloween. I knew before i had hair on my balls it was a celtic holiday lol and that it came here with Irish and their descents. I also got to hear dumb shit about how evil it was and how its satanic during the 1980s satanic panic and all the lies aboug devil worship that went with it. So i learned about it as a kid even though my religious parents wouldnt let me go trick or treat. Just thought i would say thanks even hear i love to hear these old tales from over their. You guys have a rich history and should be proud of it and pass it on. So no really we are not that different here in the USA. Thanks again great podcast.
Hey. Thank you for the comment. Yeah we can't paint everyone with the same brush! We really value your time to leave that comment, it's motivating to see intrest. ☺
A man I must meet, I hope to talk to him soon. A Great Irish Man and he is Keeping the So Important Stories and Traditions alive... As he once said himself, its a pity he started so late. ( 26 ) not late but I think he meant "if he was born earlier" he could have written or recorded stories now lost to us... I have a story or two for you Eddie. 100% #True
Eddie. we know where we are in that lovely parish of Brosna in Kerry. Funny enough that we are in that place where three counties meet. We love to see Limerick win, not so enthusiastic about Cork winning.
@@88_garnet8 he's got a brilliant talk show on RTE. He doesn't know who his guest is until they're announced to come out. Often very insightful and deep conversations.
I heard of a stone house being built & every morning for a week, when the workers get there, the corner was missing like it was cut clean off. It never was finished. Stood empty for 30 years before falling in on itself.
I remember in the 79 when I was in a naibours field & found a bad eggs 1 in each corner of the field where he had put the best milking cows & didn't know about the eggs. In a week 4 out of 10 had dropped dead. And the others gave sour milk. It turns out that the old farmer in the next field wanted that land but was out bid by this new guy. It was the old man who put the eggs in the field. So I went back & brake the eggs & covered them in salt. From that day on, those cows gave the best milk he had ever gotten from any other cow ever. Highest cream content. So there's more truth to old stories that some people are willing too believe.
I know they always say that our story telling was mainly an oral tradition and not a written one and that's sad because then the stories die with them but that's Irish! That's also part of who we are.
In fairness that isn't really a dichotomy when people are literate, if it was there'd be no point in things like folklore collecting. Especially at this point in history where writing and the internet bring a bit more egalitariaism than local society allowed us. People write books and blogs on cailleaching, mumming, cooking you name it. Its not a class thing, and us an them thing anymore.
@@ShoJ369 exactly I can't remember but was in the 30s, pre WW2.... There's at least 3 people in killenaule that were alive back then that know the full story. All I got out of the lady I used to visit before she died, everyone knew she wasn't a witch, but it happened anyway. And we weren't to speak of it no more
@@DeclanCahill91 It's just desperately sad, Wise women who knew what could cure you, ( within nature ), began to be frowned upon. I had a Great Granny who came from Camlough to Belfast, who delivered babies and could cure everything from whopping cough to gout. She had everything written down, I went to look for it as my child was sick and it was gone. Someone in the Family had taken it from my Granny's house, It could have been copied or put on a memory stick, but it's gone now. 😥😢
@@ShoJ369 that's awful. Can't understand people's mind set when it comes to things like that. The woman in ballingarry never married, made all her own clothes real bright colours, real different and was friendly to everyone.... Supoz in them days too if single you couldn't be overly friendly to men without making enemies. It's really sad that those things happened in living memory.
He's not. That's a local accent. That's probably the way he grew up. You should be thankful' we have such accents. We have become too modern' and have lost a lot of old phrases and customs. Our regional accents are important.

Fantastic talk from Eddie-a marvellous fellow with some incredible stories to tell.
I’ve been working in the outback of Australia in various aboriginal communities for years, very similar traditions and stories to back home.
Very similar entities , sacred places, curses and mischievous and benevolent spirits. I’ve seen a few unusual things out there that I can’t explain.

Loved this Well Done...Eddie isn't praised enough here in Ireland. Subscribed 👏👏💕
Eddie,,,,king brien in human form.
bless this man for his stories, im young, and i dont have anyone to tell me these stories, so now i do
We have lost our sixth sense due to the hardened materialistic world we have created
But we'll restore it again! An auld glass of Apple Cider Vinegar do the job.
This is still my favorite Eddie Lenihan interview.

Its 2021 and I'm nearly 60 ice never heard of this man before , fantastic stories could listen to him till the cows come home
Me too.
I am foreign, but these stories talk to my heart!
It's a druidic power he has, that resonance in his voice.
It's great to see a younger generation interested in our old stories ❤

This was fantastic. Missing home as I am, this helps a lot

Eddie. we know where we are in that lovely parish of Brosna in Kerry. Funny enough that we are in that place where three counties meet. We love to see Limerick win, not so enthusiastic about Cork winning.
Reminds me of stories I heard growing up.
What a fascinating man 👍 🍀

His brother was the artist
Loved this!!

Eddie Lenihan, you are a master of the Macarbe,
This is so awesome😁 Great chat wit Eddie
Is this the real Eddie of Ireland!?
Wow I'm watching this just before Halloween 🎃 in America even though it's two years after the fact

Eddie boy ye're welcome in the 'Republic of Cork' all the time!
Okay but the word "Witch" also originally meant "woman of knowledge" though.
I want to know what's in Eddie's cup! Is he a coffee or tea man?
Think it was tea! :P
Jolly Jack Tar!
His phone went off! 😱😱😱

The last burning of a "witch" in Ireland was actually in ballingarry... Just some random info for you
What date was that ?

The poor boys and many were boys went off to war such a waste and for what? For another generation to follow not twenty years later!
Lord love a duck! Three years ago
Pretty thing on the far right !
Women would have drank sherry in those days no?
