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 Village Beyond The Dunes | S7 Ep9","slug":"the-village-beyond-the-dunes-s7-ep9","published_at":"2026-06-25T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097/the-village-beyond-the-dunes-s7-ep9","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097","url":"https://knotworkstorytelling.com/episode/the-village-beyond-the-dunes-s7-ep9","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/90ebe4ec-87a3-4ca1-9bed-84cd09db913b.mp3","summary":"It's the middle of the night. A wealthy woman sits alone by the fire, carding wool, when the first knock comes at the door. Open! Open! I am the Witch of One Horn! This is the opening of The Twelve Horned Women,” from Lady Jane Wilde's folklore collection Ancient Legends of Ireland. It’s one of several stories that Marisa weaves together in our latest full-length Turas episode, The Village Beyond the Dunes, available exclusively to paid members of Myth Workers' Hearth over on Substack. The Twelve Horned Women come down from Sliabh na mBan, the Mountain of Women in Co. Tipperary. They take over the woman’s house and make impossible demands. These witches from the Otherworld nearly get away with murder. But here's the question that haunts this story: were they invaders, or were they reclaiming what was always theirs? In the full Turas episode, Marisa explores how stories like this one teach us about community: its magic, its failures, its longing, and its wounds. From Tír na mBan to Avalon to a deserted village on Achill Island, The Village Beyond the Dunes walks the terrain of everything we've lost, everything we've dreamed, and everything that might still be possible.
