The Otherworld in Irish Mythology: The Voyage of Bran, Oisín in the Land of Youth (Tir na nÓg)

Part two of our Irish series brings us to the legendary Celtic Otherworld! Known as Emain, Tir na nÓg, or the Land of Youth, many stories in Irish mythology take place in the legendary Otherworld. When the veil between worlds is particularly thin, you may hear the enchanting sound of music, or see golden apples on the bough... But look out! Those who journey to the Otherworld never come back the same.We explore legendary journeys to the Celtic Otherworld through medieval Irish text in the Voyage of Bran and the travels of Oisín, son of Fionn mac Cumhaill to the mysterious land beyond our own.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:35 Children of Lir by John Duncan00:55 The Voyage of Bran01:17 Midir the Sun-Bright by Beatrice Elvery01:41 Tristan and Isolde by John Duncan01:58 Connla and the Fairy Maiden by John D Batten02:45 Illustration from Myths and Legends; The Celtic Race by Stephen Reid03:20 Four Figures in a Landscape by John Duncan03:24 Happiness by John Duncan04:15 Oisín in the Land of Youth04:45 Semele by John Duncan04:58 The Lay of Oisín in the Land of Youth by Micheál Coimín, translated by Tomás ó Flannghaile06:16 Frontspiece to Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic by Albert Herter08:10 Conclusion: The Ephemeral PastAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.
