Episodes begin with a story, followed by a deep dive conversation about how this age-old tale still resonates today. Our guests include oral storytellers, writers, artists, musicians, and spiritual leaders. Occasionally, in our Myth Workers and Culture Makers series, our guest offers a song, a meditation, or another bit of creative magic. We talk about what it means to live a myth-inspired life. These conversations explore our relationship to land and to identity, particularly related to what it means to be Irish and a member of the Irish diaspora. Whether you’re drawn to Celtic culture or the mysteries that linger at ancient sacred sites, or whether you just like a good story and expansive conversation, you’re in the right place. Welcome. Fáilte. Your host is Marisa Goudy, author of The Sovereignty Knot: A Woman’s Way to Freedom, Power, Love, and Magic. She is a myth worker, a story healer, a writing coach who lives on the lands of the Lenape people (New York’s Hudson Valley). She holds an MA in Irish literature from University College Dublin.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T16:17:07.089486+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097"},"episode":{"title":"The Eagle Remembers: A Bardic Vision for Lughnasadh from Jonathon Huet | S7 Ep13","slug":"the-eagle-remembers-a-bardic-vision-for-lughnasadh-from-jonathon-huet-s7-ep13","published_at":"2026-07-30T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097/the-eagle-remembers-a-bardic-vision-for-lughnasadh-from-jonathon-huet-s7-ep13","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097","url":"https://knotworkstorytelling.com/episode/the-eagle-remembers-a-bardic-vision-for-lughnasadh-from-jonathon-huet-s7-ep13","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/1d03af2d-23d8-4855-8f96-817277338824.mp3","summary":"OUR STORY “Lugh was a new type of hero, a hero that was needed then, a hero that is needed now. A hero who listens to everyone and anyone, and never strikes unless it's a just cause and never from anger or from revenge, but for the benefit of the whole.” In celebration of the festival of Lughnasadh, we receive a story of the god of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Lugh. Our storyteller, Jonathon Huet, steps into the role of Tuan mac Cairill, the seanchaí of old to unfold this tale.
