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.”
