It is told throughout the lands that the jealousy, spite, and arrogance, of Ireland's Queen Medb started the great battle of the Táin Bó Cuailgne (Cattle Raid of Cooley). But is this accurate? Is this the true story of Medb?

Examining this historical and mythological figure - with the guidance of a native expert in Irish heritage and spirituality - exposes a tangled web of cultural context which is missing from most of her tales. While the commonly available stories seem to focus only on the faults and foibles of the ruler of the western province, Connacht, from her seat at Cruachan (Rathcroghan), this work takes us on a deep dive through the core aspects of the information that is available about the Irish Queen - or Goddess - Medb (Maeve), so we can see what was really going on. 

Peppering the book with direct quotes and authentic snippets from the original manuscript source lore, the author also explains and expands upon these often dense and occasionally confusing texts, in ways which make the material approachable and understandable. Given this firm foundation, along with the sharing of unique and personal experiences throughout Ireland at the sites most sacred to Medb, the reader can easily follow where the author has walked. This is a path that leads to solid spiritual connection within a modern Pagan practice, guided by a native Irish Draoí.
