Explore the timeless Celtic tale, “Fionn and the Salmon of Wisdom,” as we delve into the boyhood deeds of Fionn Mac Cumhaill. Join me, your storyteller, on a journey through Irish folklore, where Fionn’s destiny intertwines with the legendary Salmon of Wisdom.

After telling the story, we’ll draw comparisons with other Celtic legends such as Taliesin and Ceredwen, uncovering the common threads that weave through these captivating stories. Additionally, we’ll go beyond individual myths to explore broader themes, shedding light on the symbolism of serpents and the significance of trees of knowledge in Celtic, IndoEuropean and worldwide mythology.
