You will get the unique perspective of a native Irish bard, who studies the lore of Ireland and retells those tales for a modern audience, keeping to the core values and traditions and integrating them in his own pagan practices.
In my experience Scealai Beag is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and definitely walks his talk. I consider him a reliable source and am happy to personally recommend him in regards to Irish lore and practice.

Amazing storytelling that relays modern tales of the Irish gods that is both consistent with what we know from history and lore, and matches much of modern Irish polytheist knowledge. I have his book and it is excellent! Every podcast I have heard him on has been a wonderful investment of the time spent to listen to it.
