Ancient Ireland: Where Witches and Warriors Ruled

Leave your logic at the door, Weirdos! This week, Jacklynn and Stevie are back across the Irish Sea getting tangled in the wild, lyrical, and sometimes terrifying world of Irish Folklore.From the heartbreaking transformation of the Children of Lir into swans (talk about a bad stepmother!) to the ultimate "brain food" of the Salmon of Knowledge, we’re uncovering why these tales are more than just bedtime stories—they’re the heartbeat of ancient Ireland. We’re also talking warrior standards: why the Fianna makes modern Navy SEAL training look like a spa day, and why Cú Chulainn is the OG superhero you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley. Grab your tea and maybe some more whiskey and let’s go!Send us Fan MailWant more Weirdos of Whimsy? Check out https://bio.site/weirdosofwhimsy to find everything in one place!
