The best prayer for the souls in purgatory is eternal rest grant unto them o Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them may there souls and the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of god rest in peace amen 🙏 ❤
You're such a great story teller. Thank you for uploading these stories.
Im probably one of the few people who actually believe some of these tales as i stdy the super natural after what happened to me i know human senses only can sense a small percentage of reality. Theres alot of modern acxounts of people being taken by entities Humanity has always been toyed with by the gods. We still are theres a war going on for our eternal consciousness
I hope you all had a blessed Imbolc

I’m happy to say the tradition of wakes is still alive and well among us northerners here in Belfast.
There is a pigeon cot at Fore Abbey in Westmeath.
Eddie is great ambassador for our country,keeping old traditions some way alive
The Mass Pass in my place wa s blocked... even the thorn bush was cut down.
Ii is of course vital that Eddie Lenihan is doing this painstaking work of collecting stories and folklore, but I find it a great pity that when he publishes his stories, we don't get access to the original Irish. He is an Irish speaker and what he is collecting is of course in Irish as well, but unfortunately we don't get to hear it. Is mor an trua sin é. Is mise le meas - Franc.

I cooked goose many times for Christmas
The English compoer Henry Purcell wrote a song about the cocks crowing at midnight Christmas. Crickets singing and the pixies pinching the maid who was lazy
When you speak of a child's death, funeral it makes me think of time as a boy and new Catholic of sixteen my friend much older than I was lost he baby of less than one year. We went to Our Lady Of Sorrows church in Santa Barbara California we knelt down at the Pieta and prayed. The funeral hosts was grief stuck although he'd see much.
Pin the tail on the donkey. I have played in
Oh yes keeners Orenelio oh yi oh yi oh ranelio
Was there Keening done at wakes? Anyone?
Thank you Eddie for mentioning the Cilins. My brothers half twin was buried in Oughdara old ruin of church near Ballinacken North clare. My brother was always upset over it I discovered it some years after my other brother passed. Got it blessed by Father Connor & many other people who lost their babies showed up.

Lovely story Eddie
💚
They have the same story in Peru of the eagle and the wren, except a condor and hummingbird… the condor flies the highest and delivers prayers to god, one day the hummingbird who had always wanted to see god but could never hope to fly so high stowed away on the condor, when it popped out to take a look, the condor was afraid he would be punished, but the hummingbird received praise for the devotion required to have made it there
Eddie Lenihan is the uncle I never knew I needed.
I had a encounter with a bird of evil omen. I was living in a place that had a bad spirit energy.I had an encounter and a panic attack .I got my Tibetan Buddhist text and did wrathful practice and there was an earthquake! Many months later a bird of the day,looking like a Robin came and sticking to the fly screen of a window stayed even at night. My sister was sick with cancer and I thought it was an omen of her death. I left on a Thursday and my sister died Friday night. On the Sunday following a friend called me saying that my roommate was having chest pain. The next Monday/Tuesday I had another call about his death. I had to move house. When I returned the same bird came back.I made the averting the gesture [mudra] and a mantra of the same from Tara.The bird flew off and scraping it's beak first flew off. We have Nature spirits good and bad
I love dogs too but, would be open to a cat. My life always has had a dog, best of friends.☘️
Millions of trees are been cut down for wind turbines ,its a disgrace mature trees prevent flooding and landslides on mountains.
We had a wake for my aunt god rest her soul in Kilrush County Clare only 3 months ago We didnt drink in the house but there was plenty of food and family + visitors there We had a few drinks in the town and we came back and told stories and enjoyed each others company in the living room area where she was
Thanks for this story Eddie Lenihan!
Hope there is more stories to come! Love this podcast so much!
Still plenty of wakes here in Ulster
Agreed. From Monaghan myself and wakes still how we show our final goodbyes. My mother passed away in 2013. Remember very clearly rule about someone having to stay in the room with the coffin not to leave them alone. Lots of friends and family call directly to the house to show respect for person who passed.
@@tomasjgraham Absolutely
Wouldn't it be great if someone would dramatize these stories in a motion picture. What a movie they could make, man! The world needs to know of these things. Whether or not they believe is less important than that - especially young people - they're exposed to Wonder & Mystery & Real Magic. These are essential and they're being lost or dismissed. One more point: as a child I was famously gullible and teased and called stupid. But I wasn't ashamed because I believed that anything can be possible - and I still do.
Someone should put animation's to these amazing stories
baptism has killed babies look it up
I listen to you every day, going to work and coming home. You are a true treasure. The Podcast is brilliant. Keep them coming 🇮🇪
Yew berries are NOT poisonous, but the seeds of the fruit ARE. And what about Beech trees?
