Listen to the Land Speak - Manchán Magan
Our ancestors lived in a unique and complex society that was inspired by nature and centred upon esteemed poets, seers, monks, healers and wise women, all of whom were deeply connected to the land around them. This relationship to the cycles of the natural world – from which we are increasingly dissociated – was the animating force in their lives.
With infectious joy and wonder, Manchán Magan roams through Ireland's ancient bogs, rivers, mountains and shorelines, tracing our ancestors' footsteps. He uncovers the myths and lore that have shaped a national identity that is quietly embedded in the land, which has endured ice ages, famine and floods.
A magical and reinvigorating exploration into the wisdom that lies beneath us, Listen to the Land Speak casts the world in a new light.
