Ryan Powell


This is the first in the Bardic Interlude series of Xu, the Podcast about Emptiness, where Ryan dons his Storyteller cloak and cap and shares story from the old mythologies of the world.  Accompanied by his celtic harp, Ryan first tells the tale of Finn MacCumhail and the Salmon of Knowledge wherein young Finn is apprenticed to an old poet fisherman and ends up with much more than he bargained for.   The second tale told here is Finn and the Burner of Tara, a good Samhain tale with a surprising 'point' at the end.  

 Wishing you all a happy Samhain Celtic New Year and remember to hug your ancestors!
