This story grabbed my attention and I'm still not sure why, it's deeper mysteries have yet to be revealed to me. I keep telling it as a way to honor the medicine it carries and let it sink further into me. I'm very curious to know what you make of it.
The Lad of the Skins is from the Fianna Cycle of Irish mythology. These tales of the Fianna, a roving band of warrior-poets, were told all across Ireland and the Scottish Highlands and Islands. They still are. They are set in the third century CE and often feature Finn, whom we met in Episode 9 The Salmon of Wisdom. But in this tale Finn takes a back seat to this mysterious stranger who steps into their circle one evening.
I trust that stories that insist I tell them have something to say to me and whomever chooses to listen. So I offer you this one, that has been quite vocal about being told, knowing that whatever it opens up for you will been a gift on your path.
