The Voyage Beyond the Map: "St. Brendan the Navigator"
from New American Mythos · host Michael Belch
Long before maps named the world, the Irish monk Brendan set sail into the fog, searching not for conquest, but for the Promised Land of the Saints. In this richly imagined retelling of a medieval Christian voyage tale, New American Mythos brings listeners through burning islands, singing birds, and the trembling silence of mystery. What Brendan finds is not new territory, but a deeper truth: the solid ground we trust may not be ground at all, and true rest lies beyond the edge of our certainty.Stay in touch and support the show!Mailing ListPatreon__________*We tell America’s old stories with the warmth of firelight and the weight of unanswered questions.***YouTube:** [@IronScrewPublishing]
