Today we welcome Indiana Stones himself, the one and only David Keohan. Hailing from Ireland, David is a Stone lifter, a kettlebell world champion, an artist and a musician. He\\u2019s been on a mission to recover Ireland\'s lost stone lifting culture and has done so through our literature and folklore.\\n\\nWe spoke all about his stone lifting journey from his lifting of the fianna stone in Scotland which inspired his own search in Ireland. Culminating in the rediscovery of the stone described by the famous Galway writer Liam O\'Flaherty in his short story \\u2018The Stone\\u2019. He has rediscovered 30 testing stones, a remarkable act of reclamation and celebration of this lost tradition. Through this act David has created a remarkable and unique magical act of healing of the multi-generational trauma of Ireland\'s colonisation. These great testing stones, now rediscovered form a chain back into our ancient past, before colonisation, before christianity and in lifting these stones once more the chain is renewed, in a feat of strength and deep ancestral healing.\\n\\nHis work is a brilliant and inspiring intersection of folklore, magic, mythology, and strength.\\n\\nIn the Plus show we get into ancestral work, and animism. We talk about Peig Sayers and Ghosts leading us to tell their stories. The death stone of C\\xfa Chulainn, the Irish Hercules and to close out the show I read Liam O\'Flaherty\\u2019s short story \\u2018The Stone\\u2019. \\n\\nShow notes:\\nDavid\\u2019s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_indiana_st...\\nDavid\\u2019s YouTube \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0/\\xa0@davidindianakeohans3566\\xa0\\xa0\\nDuchas.ie https://www.duchas.ie/en\\nLiam O\'Flaherty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_O%...\\nDavid\\u2019s article on the Stone of Inishmore THE QUEST FOR THE STONE OF INISHMORE - Ireland\\nThe Stone by Liam O\\u2019Flaherty https://archive.org/.../shortstorieso...\\nThe Aran Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aran_Islands\\nThe Aran Islands drone footage \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\u2022\\xa0THE\\xa0ARAN\\xa0ISLANDS\\xa0BY\\xa0DRONE\\xa0(IRELAND)-\\xa0...\\xa0\\xa0\\nCaher Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caher_I...\\nPre famine Irish tallest in Europe\\nhttps://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-s...\\nPeig Sayers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peig_Sa...\\nC\\xfa Chulainn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%BA...\\nFeature on my grandfathers book https://roaringwaterjournal.com/2023/... \\nMy grandfather\'s book\\nhttps://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-searc...\\nAnd here\'s the photos of the Kusthi wrestlers I mentioned. https://www.darraghmason.com/index/G0...\\n\\n\\nKeep in touch?\\nhttps://linktr.ee/darraghmason\\nMusic by Obliqka https://soundcloud.com/obliqka
