Was Queen Scota really the Lost Sister of Tutankhamun?

Tonight at 8 PM Irish time, join me as I interview druid and author Luke Eastwood.

https://youtu.be/shtPJBpN0Nc?si=obRXxFdMylWLyUvU

How close were Ireland and Egypt really?

Can we rely on mythology to uncover the truth?

What can modern scientify breakthroughs tell us about these connections?

Was Meritaten, daughter of the heretic Akhenaten, more than just a forgotten princess?

Could she be Scota—the shadowy figure whispered in Celtic legend?

Did she brave perilous seas to reach Spain?

What secrets did she carry to Scotland’s misty shores?

And why does her trail end at a mysterious grave in Ireland?

In this spellbinding non-fiction work, Luke reveals the haunting research and tantalizing clues that dare to rewrite history as he traces her enigmatic flight from a crumbling Egyptian Amarna dynasty, charting her perilous journey across the sea, eventually winding up in Ireland.

Is this the lost link between Egypt and the early "Celts", or a myth too wild to believe?

Put the kettle on, get comfortable, press play, and step into the shadows of a mystery that’s waited millennia to be unearthed!

Continue the journey with Part 2 of Conor MacDari’s Irish Wisdom Preserved in Bible and Pyramids (1923), spanning Chapters VII to Conclusion.

A huge thank you to Darrell T. Smith II for graciously allowing the Brehon Academy to re-use his recording. If you want to reach out to Darrell T. Smith II to support his work or just to say thanks, you can find his links below or pinned in the top comment.

In this gripping second part, MacDari deepens his controversial thesis, tracing the Irish race’s profound impact across history—from the Phoenician era to the Roman conquests—and unveiling what he sees as a grand conspiracy to erase Ireland’s spiritual and cultural legacy.

Conor MacDari, the pen name of John A. Geran, an Irish-American mason and occult author, challenges the foundations of accepted history, proposing that ancient Irish wisdom lies at the heart of both the Bible and the Egyptian pyramids.

This part is a rollercoaster of revisionist history, packed with intriguing claims and a passionate defense of Ireland’s suppressed heritage.

Join us for an in-depth and captivating video interview with Nathan Featherstone, a distinguished martial arts expert and passionate advocate for the revival of Bataireacht, the traditional Irish art of stick fighting.

In this comprehensive discussion, Nathan takes us on a journey through the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient practice, shedding light on its various styles and techniques that have been passed down through generations.

He explores the fascinating connection between Bataireacht and Ireland’s turbulent past, including its role in faction fighting, a form of communal combat that defined rural Irish life in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Nathan also reflects on the impact of the Great Famine, a pivotal moment in Irish history that nearly erased this martial tradition, and shares his efforts to preserve and revitalise it for modern audiences.

The interview concludes with an exciting comparative analysis, as Nathan draws parallels between Bataireacht and other global martial arts traditions.

He highlights remarkable similarities between Irish stick fighting and the stick-based combat techniques of African tribal warriors, particularly the Maasai, offering a unique perspective on the universal principles of martial arts.

This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in martial arts history, Irish culture, or the intersections of global combat traditions.

Packed with historical insights, technical expertise, and cultural depth, this interview showcases Nathan Featherstone’s dedication to keeping Bataireacht alive.

NOTE: MEMBERS CAN WATCH THIS EXCLUSIVELY AND AD-FREE NOW, UNTIL THURSDAY AT APPROX 8 PM (IRISH TIME).

Embark on a mind-expanding journey with our exclusive interview with Rob Ó Cobhthaigh, a visionary therapist and co-founder of InwardBound.nl. ꩜

From the misty streets of Dublin, where a young Rob was captivated by the whispers of Irish mythology—tales of filidh poets, Otherworldly visions, and heroic quests—we trace his path to becoming a guide for transformative retreats open to both men and women. 🪐

Rob opens up about his first dance with liberty cap mushrooms 🍄‍🟫, a psychedelic odyssey that cracked open the doors of perception and set him on a quest to weave Ireland’s shamanic heritage into healing experiences.

We dive deep into the enigmatic practice of Imbas Forasnai, the ancient Irish art of “illumination by inspiration,” where seers tapped into divine insight—possibly through rituals involving the “red dog” (Rob’s bold theory points to the iconic Amanita muscaria). 🍄

Drawing parallels between the poetic filidh and shamans, Rob shares how these traditions inform his work, blending the wisdom of pioneers like Stanislav Grof and Irish psychologist Ivor Browne with the teachings of his mentor, Martin Duffy, an Irish shaman walking the edge of the seen and unseen. 💗

This conversation is a portal into a world where mushrooms become sacred guides, Irish mythology breathes anew, and participants embark on inner quests for healing, purpose, and connection to the ancestral spirit of the Emerald Isle. 🌀

Buckle up for a wild ride through the psyche, where ancient poetry meets modern transformation, and the veil between worlds thins. 🌍

🍄 Imbas forosnai is a gift of clairvoyance or visionary ability practised by the gifted poets of ancient Ireland.  🍄 Imbas forosnai involved the practitioner engaging in sensory deprivation techniques to enter a trance and receive answers or prophecy.  🍄 In the Celtic traditions, poetry has always served as a primary conveyance of spiritual truth.  🍄 Celtic texts differentiate between normal poetry, which is only a matter of learned skill, and "inspired" poetry, which is seen as a gift from the gods.

Tune in for something a bit different. Sean Cuddy was featured on this channel a short time ago, but the audio was pretty poor.

So, I decided to attend his LIVE Storytelling that takes place on Sundays* at 4 PM in Sin É on Ormond Quay (highly recommended!)

In the second half of his longer show, he shared 3 captivating stories about Cú Chulainn, including "How Cú Chulainn Got His Name", "The Cattle Raid of Cooley", and the sad tale of the "Death of Cú Chulainn".

Click play, sit back, relax, and allow yourself to be transported into the misty and mythical past of ancient Ireland.

AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY UNTIL THURSDAY 5TH OF JUNE AT 8 PM IRISH TIME.
