The Birth of a Heroine with Barb Buckner Suarez | Ep 6
Our Story
This is the story of Macha, a goddess, a fairy woman, a woman of the Sidhe, who took a human lover for a year. This story sets the stage for the greatest epic in Irish mythology, the Táin Bó Cúailnge. This story is often remembered for its curse, but really, it's the story of a birth.
"The Birth of a Heroine" was written and performed by Marisa Goudy. Sources: The Metrical Dindsheanchas, which means "the lore of places" in Middle Irish and includes texts from the 11th to 14th centuries.
