Bentornati al podcast “Storie di Celti intorno al fuoco” un podcast realizzato dalla Celtic Harp International Academy in collaborazione con English Galore School.
In questa ultima puntata della seconda stagione vi portiamo alla scoperta di alcuni racconti e aspetti del folklore d’Irlanda legati ad uno degli animali da compagnia più diffusi: il cane. Scopriremo come Finn Mac Cumhaill conobbe i suoi due fidati segugi Bran e Sceolang e di come questi diventarono i suoi compagni di vita e poi vi racconteremo di come i celti si sono avvicinati a questo animale e di come lo abbiano raccontato e visto nei secoli. Siamo giunti al termine di questa intensa stagione di Storie di Celti intorno al Fuoco e vi ringraziamo per averci seguito fino ad oggi. Rimanete con noi perché altre puntate intorno al nostro braciere vi aspettano in futuro! Le musiche che ci accompagnano in questa puntata sono a cura di Elisa Petruccelli e Jill Devlin Harp

I was lucky enough to record some tunes for the newest episode of the Storie di Celti intorno al Fuoco podcast during my time in Italy. You can find the episode through their social media. Be sure to give it a listen, they cover all things Irish mythology. ✨🌙
