Imagine living in a time when there was no artificial light. When there was true darkness in the sky, when there were no high rise buildings blocking your view of the celestial realms. A time when you knew exactly where the sun would rise at different times of the year. When you could recognize the planets and the constellations, and you would sit outside during the night and watch their movements across the skies.

In the modern world, so many of us have become disconnected with the skies. We’ve lost our bearings, so to speak. But Anthony Murphy is someone who has really reconnected to this wisdom in such a beautiful and meaningful way. In this episode, we’ll dive into the topic of Ireland’s ancient astronomers, and the archeological and literary evidence they left behind.

P.S. Anthony talks quite a bit about the sacred site of Newgrange in this episode. If you’re not familiar with this ancient monument, you can learn more about it here.
