While the Ulster Cycle is often seen as a story of human heroes and battles, there's an undeniable presence of Otherworldly forces shaping the narrative.Jon discusses how figures such as Macha, the Morrigan, and even the bulls themselves tie into the supernatural realm, impacting characters like Cú Chulainn and the entire course of the saga.
