Studying Irish myth

[darthwibble]

Hello all. I have decided to take a break from the Mabinogion and to start studying Irish myths. I was hoping for some advice on good sources. I'm looking for books mostly, but audio and video will also be welcome.
Currently, my only sources are the general overviews given in some Druid books, and from the Celtic Myth podcast, etc. I am purchasing some used copies of The Celtic Twilight by Yeats and Celtic Myths and Legends by Ellis, and a new copy of The White Goddess by Graves. I was thinking about Gods and Fighting Men, when I have some money saved. Are there any other good books I should look for?
Thanks in advance

Greetings Darthwibble, and welcome.

There is plenty of "stuff" out there, but these are some of the online resources I find myself returning to:

Wonderful, thanks!

It sounds like you have a good plan. Remember however that "The White Goddess" is purely a work of fiction not necessarily derived from any particular myths and legends. Graves himself called it a silly book. It is a depiction of the way he felt thing should have been rather than as they were.

"Pagan religions of the British isles is " is an excellent read - its very good for a dry academic view of what is known about th epast from archeological and historical sources - some really interesting stuff in there :
