    S6E3: Sagas w/ Shawn Crossover: Ireland’s Mythic Invasions – From Noah to the Milesians
    Mar 17 2026
    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.

    David and Shawn are back for the first time since February 2025. We have a bunch of life updates.

    David presents his "explain it like I'm 5" (ELI5) version of the history of the isle of Britain prior to the fall of Rome.

    I want to give credit and encourage you to check out some podcasts that inspired my search to understand the history of England, Wales, and Scotland.
