A talk by Irish folklore expert Róisín Ni Con Ulaidh exploring the the history of indigenous Irish religion.

Long ago, our ancestors shared stories of ancient gods, might warriors and heroic epics. Today, those stories survive in our landscape and fairytales. These Gods were known as the Tuatha Dé Danann.

Presented by Historian and Irish Folklore expert Róisín Ni Con Ulaidh this enlightening talk will illustrate the origins of these stories, who these gods were and their divine abilities. We'll make educated speculations as to how they may have been worshipped and explore how their stories survive to the modern day
