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":"Torn Between Two Worlds with Erica O'Reilly | S6 Ep28","slug":"torn-between-two-worlds-with-erica-o-reilly-s6-ep28","published_at":"2025-08-14T09:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097/torn-between-two-worlds-with-erica-o-reilly-s6-ep28","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knotwork-myth-storytelling-4838097","url":"https://knotworkstorytelling.com/episode/torn-between-two-worlds-erica-oreilly","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/10bd559c-54ba-4e10-9564-0edf6ebfad43.mp3","summary":"Write with Us this September The Writers’ Knot is welcoming new members!

Not all who feel lost are meant to be found; some of us are simply remembering where we came from.  Erica O'Reilly's The Call of the Sea and a Lost Sealskin emerged when she returned to Ottawa, after two weeks at an artists' residency on the coast of Kerry. In this piece, she explores the layered, cascading grief of returning to a land that doesn’t feel of “home.”  This piece was first as part of her Substack series The Creative Process of De thír mo Mháithreacha: Of the Land of My Mothers.
