✨ FREE LEARNING RESOURCES FOR A YEAR! - https://irishpagan.school/free

Is it possible to be infested with a monster from Irish folklore? Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the eerie tale of the Alp Luachra, a parasitic creature that enters a person’s body and slowly consumes their food’s essence, leaving the victim starved and weakened.

Through ancient myths and modern folklore, Jon explores the terrifying story of this "joint-eater" and the peculiar method to cure the infestation—salted beef and a stream of fresh water!

Discover how ancient tales of this parasitic creature might parallel more modern ideas like tapeworms and explore other myths tied to the Alp Luachra. Learn more about Irish mythology, folklore, and Paganism with Jon’s insights.
