In Ireland, the link between place and myth is strong, and there is no more enlightening way to understand the rich tapestry of Irish mythology, and its relationship to our true history, than by reading the landscape. Earthing the Myths is an engaging and exhaustive county-by-county guide to the vast number of fascinating places in Ireland connected to myth, folklore, and early history. Covering the period 800 BC to AD 650, this book spans the Late Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and the early Christian period, and explores the ways in which the land evolved, and with it our catalogue of myths and legends.

Smyth chronicles sites the length and breadth of the country, where druids, fairies, goddesses, warriors, and kings all left their mark, in tales both real and imagined. With over one thousand locations recorded, from Rathlin Island to the Beara Peninsula, Earthing the Myths breathes life into places throughout Ireland that find their origins in our pre-Christian and pre-Gaelic past, and shows that they still possess unique wisdom and vibrant energy.
