We had a wonderful day storytelling in
Corlea Trackway Centre recently as part of their Samhain celebrations. We got to entertain the crowd with tales of Samhain past and present and of course we told them all about Midir, keeper of the Veil between this world and the Otherworld. He comes from Brí Leith in Ardagh, and he made the Bog Road in Corlea. We also included the story of his Cranes of In-hospitality, along with warnings about the Púca spitting on fruit at this time of year and how to avoid being taken for a long, scary ride. Everyone wailed like a banshee and listened to how to identify other creatures of Samhain who we later met on the walk to Mosstown Harbour.
We also talked of life in our crannóg, surrounded by our protection circle of Rowan, Mugwort, Yarrow and Marshmallow, and met some of the characters from Midir and Etain, An Táin and Diarmuid and Gráinne which all have Samhain connections.
Our horse disguised as the Púca travelled all the way from Ardagh to Mosstown too, we hope he didn't take anyone along on his back.
We look forward to more adventures with Clann Chorr in the future.
