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":"2026-07-02T18:17:50.085935+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097"},"episode":{"title":"The Silver Wheel with Jen Murphy | S7 Ep3","slug":"the-silver-wheel-with-jen-murphy-s7-ep3","published_at":"2026-05-14T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097/the-silver-wheel-with-jen-murphy-s7-ep3","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097","url":"https://knotworkstorytelling.com/episode/the-silver-wheel-with-jen-murphy-s7-ep3","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d1f01e8c-a9f4-4ccd-9e82-f8b1702b2690.mp3","summary":"OUR STORY Jen Murphy tells us the core tales Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi, the great epic of Welsh mythology, beginning with King Math and his Goewin, his “virgin footholder” and concluding with the story of Arianrhod. Jen concludes her telling with Blodeuwedd, who you met in S7 Ep 1. OUR GUEST Jen Murphy is an Irish mythologist, anthropologist and founder of The Celtic Creatives. A Dubliner born and bred, from the time she could talk, Jen's grandmother Frances O'Sullivan filled her ears with tales from Irish myth and folklore, fuelling a now 40-year fascination with the stories of her lineage. Jen's apprenticeship to following her soul's breadcrumbs has guided her formal studies in Medieval Irish and Celtic Studies, Anthropology, and Jungian Psychology. Jen supports people to remember that they have a shining soul, to dream Celtic spirituality into their modern lives by making the Celtic soul a living aesthetic—centring the soul in the everyday experience of life—through mythwork, dreamwork, and the body.
