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":"Through the Samhain Portal with Robert Mulhall | S6 Ep 32","slug":"through-the-samhain-portal-with-robert-mulhall-s6-ep-32","published_at":"2025-10-30T10:45:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097/through-the-samhain-portal-with-robert-mulhall-s6-ep-32","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097","url":"https://knotworkstorytelling.com/episode/robert-mulhall-samhain","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/84992d3e-7aee-4717-b852-060d0ba81970.mp3","summary":"Please Support Our Show: Join us on Substack Love KnotWork Storytelling?
