S6E3: Sagas w/ Shawn Crossover: Ireland’s Mythic Invasions – From Noah to the Milesians
In this special crossover episode, Shawn brings an installment of his series Tales of Ireland from the podcast Sagas w/ Shawn – Gods and Kings over to Between Two Ravens. Since Ireland hasn’t yet made an appearance on BTR, this felt like the perfect excuse to totaly not "shamelessly" plug his other project.
In this St. Patrick’s Day episode of Sagas w/ Shawn - Gods and Kings, we dive into one of the most fascinating medieval texts in Irish tradition, the Lebor Gabála Érenn, also known as the Book of Invasions. The text attempts to explain the origins of Ireland and its people by, like every text Shawn has reviewed, weaving together mythology, genealogy, and the biblical worldview of the time, with a bunch of pagan gods the christian writers needed to humanize to fit their worldviewFollowing the narrative arc from Shawn's horrible calculations of the years 2,348 BCE to 1,047 BCE, this episode explores 6 legendary waves of settlers said to have arrived in Ireland, including the mystical Tuatha Dé Danann, their conflicts with the mysterious Fomorians, and the final arrival of the Milesians, who become the legendary ancestors of the Gaelic people. Along the way Shawn discusses how each and every invader (minus 1) is descended from Noah's grandsons, Magog and Gomer.

[…] For example, the Chronicle made a non-biblical son of Noah up to make the line work, with Odin, or Woden, being a descendant of Noah and his non-biblical son, Skeph. And in both cases, the humanized versions of these gods served as human ancestors of the early feudal kingdoms of the time, often versed in some forms of magic or witchcrafts. which Snorri says led to those humans being incorrectly worshipped as gods, though being not actual gods. So in today's story, where we celebrate Ireland's totally true and real-life founding, and I'm putting that in quotes, we will see that not only is in one case they're also a non-biblical son of Noah, but we see humanized deities who are often labeled as druids or wizards in this case. these beings being either the Tua de Danon or the Fomorians.
