I'm finish up a degree in philosophy and a minor in comparative religious studies. I'm very interested in learning more about Irish mythology and folk tales.

Hi, I´m not Irish nor live in Eyre, but I´ve allways felt attracted to the Celtic culture (please don´t ask why, it just happens) You can find Táin Bó Cuailgne on-line here:http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/cool/index.htm. You can also see http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/index.htm. If you are also interested on other culture, it´s a good place ti find good texts. It´s been my primary source of info when I lived in Cuba and I hadn´t much access to information.

Hope you enjoy it.

HI everyone with my high interest in everything that is myth and irish folklore, I came across a very old book. In fact is that old that it was written in old irish... The Táin Bó Cúalnge. I found it translated in French (belgium) from old irish !! ( well old gaeilge !!)

IT the story of the mythical creation of Ulster. It a really strange book, hard to read but really fantastic you can feel the energy from that book that differ from other book... really a treasure.
if you come accross it dont leave it behind !

It the story of lot of hero from celtic ireland. THe most famous of all beiing of course : Cuchulainn !! but also the the Queen Medb and Aillil !

Hello Ron!
How are you?
Great idea Ron! When I came to LiveIreland I was expecting to find ancient folk tales, folk beliefs and myths and of course Irish music. But, I only find the music...
I made a search and find one site with Irish stories for children. I choose one that I already had heard and open a post on the discussion forum. Hope you like it!
Slán agus beannacht!

I am a novice here. I enjoy folklore and myth, but I am not Irish (except, perhaps, somewhat distantly), nor have I even been to Ireland. Since this is an interest, I thought I would see if there are others likewise interested.
