SÍDH: Stories from the Women in Irish Mythology

25.00

A collection of mythic stories retold from the perspectives of women. The Sidhe (singular Sídh) are mounds of earth said to be the underground dwellings of the People of the Sidhe – the Tuatha Dé Danann or the People of the Goddess Danu – who came to Ireland long ago. They created many stories of great prowess and romance before going to their Underworld, to be cast by some into superstition. This collection brings together tales from the Irish mythic repertoire, all told through the eyes of women. For whoever inhabits them, these stories are indeed places to go – other worlds, journeys to realms within ourselves that hold the potential for us to come back changed, all are threaded by the presence of the People of the Goddess.

Kathy Tynan, Illustrator
Kathy Tynan (b.1984) makes paintings that typically depict details and particularities of urban and domestic scenes. Her direct and energetic approach to the painted surface favours liveliness over correctness of representation. While her paintings are figurative, the real subject matter of her work is the moment of encounter within the everyday, when the ordinary – or usually overlooked – becomes illuminated. Kathy is represented by Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Dublin

Bard Mythologies, Publisher
Bard Mythologies is the creation of Sandy Dunlop and Ellen O’Malley Dunlop. It grew out of a revived practice of telling Irish traditional stories in the oral form by a skilled storyteller – the Bard. At the Bard events, the old stories are explored and excavated, and they never fail to deliver wisdoms that can be applied in our contemporary world. Since 1995, the annual Bard Summer School has been held on Clare Island in Co. Mayo. Bard Mythologies also delivers further immersions in Irish Mythic stories through Zoom workshops.
