Episode Summary

This time on Strangers we have our June feature (almost in June), Mallacht an Ghiorria by Sean Fitzgerald. Mallacht an Ghiorria or "Curse of the Hare" explores folklore and history around the Derryveagh evictions of 1861 in County Donegal, Ireland. Afterwards there's an interview with Sean about hares, curses, the hidden effects of colonization, and being a squatter punk in the 80's in Ireland.

Read along for free at TangledWilderness.org and stay tuned for an interview with Sean after the audio feature.

Guest Info

Seán Fitzgerald (they/he:Siad/Sé) ran an anarchist zine in Ireland In the late 1980s before turning to ancestral skills in 1993 in order to reclaim these practices for inner city communities. Fitzgerald continues this cultural regeneration work with ‘Dúchas na nDaoine,’ a volunteer-led community garden for recovery, fostering well being through story, heritage, and Irish language. Their previous work includes two highly illustrated books on Irish myths, Irish folk magic, and Ulster folklore.
