What Will You Learn?

Passed down through thousands of years, Irish Mythology expresses the unique and rich tapestry of Irish culture. This course guides you in the characters, legends, and tales of Irish myths.

Let us introduce you to the Tuatha dé Danann, “The People of the Goddess Danu”. Beings of supernatural power, they appear as kings, queens, warriors, heroes, healers, artisans, bards, and druids. Discover this pantheon of deities and their importance in Irish myths and legends.

Irish Mythology consists of four cycles: Mythological, Ulster, Fenian, and Kings’ Cycle. We'll guide you through stories, characters, and the most important aspects of each.

From the Mythological Cycle you’ll gain an in-depth breakdown of the Book of Invasions. The Ulster Cycle includes an extended discussion on the Táin Bó Cuailnge. The Fenian Cycle examines Fionn mac Cumhaill’s life. The King’s Cycle looks into the role bards and poets played in Irish myths.

The course also covers Irish Folklore. We’ll discuss the Sídhe, the fairy folk, and the myths surrounding them. Explore areas of mythological significance in Ireland. And examine the Wheel of the Year and major pagan festivals.

We'll also discuss how Christianity integrated aspects of Irish Mythology into its doctrine.

By studying this course, you will learn about:

  • The preservation of Irish Mythology through history
  • Major Tuatha dé Danann characters
  • Stories, characters, and important aspects of Irish Mythology
  • Sídhe and other Irish Folklore
  • Locations of mythological significance in Ireland
  • The Wheel of the Year and major festivals
  • How Christianity integrated Irish Mythology into its doctrine.

Brilliant set of courses. I recently completed an Egyptology course with them and was so impressed I enrolled into Greek mythology diploma. (I'm doing a masters in classical studies so the Greek mythology course will help). I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to learn new things at their own pace
