Live Irish Myths episode 51: Queen Medb

In today's episode of MythFlix (#51), we explore the mythical Queen Medb. Associated with both Rathcroghan (pictured) and Tara, she was a sovereignty goddess. Later, her apparent pride and scheming led to the Cattle Raid of Cooley (Táin Bó Cuailnge).

You are helping us all so much. God bless you and your sweet family. Please don't be embarrassed for showing emotion over this horrible virus and stressful time the whole earth is sharing... Many people have died. Yes, this is a very trying time for us all. Your stories truly do help.
My personal story is that my husband is in Hospice. He is dieing from Pulmonary Fibrosis as a result from serving in Vietnam and exposure to agent orange. So our days are all very much the same, just fewer guests now. So anyway, I get very stressed and often go in to YouTube and find you at bedtime, whatever that time may be. I listen to your friendly Irish voice till I'm able to fall asleep. Thank you SO MUCH !

This project has been a godsend for me- get as emotional as you want. Thanks for these and your many other rich and wonderful productions.

People should not complain, lol, that's funny. You can learn a lot by listening.
If someone doesn't want to hear the hellos, they can move ahead with a touch of a finger on the timeline at bottom if picture. Thank you Anthony for all you do and thank you to your family too for sharing you with us all.

I just found you on YouTube Anthony. I am so pleased & laughing. Read the Toyn during a very stressful time of my life in 2006. I needed a warrior queen goddess & Medb was there. In 2007 husband & I made it to southwestern Ireland where we hiked to the cairn near Knocknarea. I'll be searching your archives & chiming in when I can. Thank you! This is part of my 2021 resolution to myself. To learn even more about Ireland. A little Gaelic would be helpful as well.

[jmch]

Sorry I missed the live ... watching the playback, GRMA 👍🏻

Skipd past the hellos and at 57 mins in your still saying hello its like the late late 😆

[unokitsune]

Will you please also do history story on King Oberon and Queen Titania and allow access to documentation of Queen Mebd and Queen Titania/King Oberon from before the time of William Shakespeare?

I work with the Fair Folk they are my family. I get kicked out if many groups because they believe these Deities are fake.

I give you blessings of the Sidhe/Sìth and gentle blessings if Faerie luck. Thank you for this good sir.

Do you think Shakespeare's Queen Mab in Romeo and Juliet has its origins in Queen Maebh? Just a thought!

[danielfagan]

Loving these Anthony, I was wondering have you done an episode on Macha?

[lorrygeewhizzbang]

The whole covid thing has been woeful but also brought to
mind things like....who was the last Irish queen? What did our crowns look like? etc

[lorrygeewhizzbang]

I thought that was lady lavery? on the old pound.

[naturallyapril]

So I found this video to research, and had to wait OVER 20 minutes, to hear about the queen... possibly, start to "timestamp" so people can jump to the actual topic, rather than all the people saying hello [for 20 minutes] in the beginning... Just a thought? Thank you for the info I've received, though. 🌛🌝🌜
