OUR STORY
On the eve of the festival of Bealtaine (Beltane), three sovereignty goddesses watch a fleet approach Ireland’s eastern shore. The new arrivals were the Sons of Mil, the first of the Gaels. Their coming would unseat the race of gods known as the Tuatha Dé Danann and change… everything. The goddesses knew this, and welcomed them in anyway.
This truly is a Bealtaine tale: according to the Irish Annals the Sons of Mil arrive in Ireland on the eve of the festival: Thursday, April 30 1699 BCE.
This story is inspired by the final wave of migration described in Ireland’s Book of Invasions. Brian Walsh told his version, The Coming of the Sons of Mil, on the podcast last year (S5 Ep3). Marisa’s retelling gives us the story from the women’s perspective.
