Episode 8 : The cure

This month, Eddie tells a number of tales about the curious power of cures. Eddie relays a number of cures that Biddy Early prescribed to various people throughout the county. Cures for illness, cures for animals, and cures for the fairies. As the stories show, you had to follow the cure's warning exactly, or else!

You Eddie are a national treasure. Been watching and listening you since I was a lad and always sat transfixed listening to you but I had training in storytelling from my me ole grandfather .

I am a Cork man in New York for 32 year. You sound just like father. My father have passed away 12 year ago. My siblings and I always loved the real Kerry ax send. None better to add to the flavor of old Irish folklore. Thank you Eddy for your great work. Oh by the way my origins are Ganeys from brusna.

These are brilliant Eddie. I'm 22 and a Dub so have never heard any stories like yours. Keep them up, so insightful!

I wish I could find a woman like Biddy Early. Greetings from Texas. Never been to Ireland, but I’d love to go to Donegal and the rest of Ireland. Someday God willing.

[@seaniepc4]

I would like to meet you Eddie, I have a few stories that happened myself and a witness, and one odd happening while I was out on my own. Witness will be brought with me if you accept. I'm in Tipp' and will wait for virus to leave. Hope you see this... Seán

[@seaniepc4]

What a Great few stories tonight Eddie, I just love listening to stories about Biddy Early and the power she possessed. Cures for all if she could but cross her at your own cost. When you had little and no hope you always had Biddy Early and like you mentioned, she knew everything about everyone and helped as many as she was able. Seán

@@seaniepc4 maybe you could message him directly through his social media he may see it there. He is on face book and Twitter. I think it's his daughter and friend who manage his account but am sure the info will be passed on. Good luck

Love the Fairy stories

It seems that bridge would be an ideal place for paranormal investigators to set up some monitoring equipment. See if they can find some evidence of the existence of such things. There are far too many things humanity has forgotten and lost respect for and we have need to relearn such things.

[@johnnyswiftly4674]

Eddie, May I ask you some questions please? It's very important. And it's about good people. Please help. No piss take. Thank you 🤝

My father is a spiritual healer from Monaghan. Would love to know if you have ever heard of him Eddie.
