Listen to the Land Speak - Manchan Magan

Listen to the Land Speak by Manchán Magan is a profound exploration of Ireland’s landscape, weaving mythology, history, and personal reflection to uncover the deep connection between the land and Irish identity. Through journeys across bogs, rivers, and mountains, Magan reveals how ancient myths, rituals, and natural cycles shaped Ireland’s cultural heritage. The book delves into the sacredness of rivers like the Shannon, the spiritual significance of festivals like Samhain, and the lingering trauma of colonial forces, including the Great Famine. It serves as both a lament for lost wisdom and a call to re-engage with the land’s animating energy, offering a vision of Ireland where history, myth, and nature intertwine.
