The Voyage of Bran: Irish Mythology and Otherworld Journey

The Voyage of Bran (*Immram Brain*) is a foundational early Irish voyage tale in which Bran crosses the sea to encounter enchanted islands, supernatural beings, and unsettling visions of time and mortality. Preserved in medieval manuscripts yet rooted in older tradition, it reveals how Celtic myth and Christian-era learning shaped a story that still invites close reading.
