    Dark, Battle & Eagle - Fianna Saga (Irish Mythology Podcast)
    Jul 15 2025
    Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music. This episode continues our Fianna Saga with a classic Fianna adventure. This is yet another adventure tale turned wrong. But it takes place in High-hilled Alban, or Scotland as it’s more commonly called now. This tale is dark and gruesome and one that the Fianna wish not to repeat. Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners. Please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains mentions of dark magics, body mutilation, and descriptions of unusually awful creatures that some listeners might find disturbing.
