So here’s the story of the Salmon of Knowledge in a nutshell…
It starts with the magical hazel tree that grew near the river where the salmon was. The tree contained the knowledge of the universe. So when several of the nuts fell into the water, the salmon ate them and acquired all the knowledge of the universe.
Finnegas, an old poet, was one of the wisest men in Ireland and had spent seven years trying to catch the salmon because he knew that if he ate it, he would gain all its knowledge. At last, he caught the fish and asked his apprentice, a young boy called Fionn, to cook it for him. He warned him not to eat it, so Fionn lit a fire and cooked it carefully.
While turning the fish, Fionn burnt his thumb on the skin of the cooked salmon and instinctively put his thumb in his mouth to ease the pain. When he brought the cooked fish to Finnegas, the old man saw that something had changed in the boy’s eyes. Fionn explained what had happened to the poet and then Finnegas knew that the boy was the one who had gained the knowledge of the universe. Although sad to have not been the chosen one, Finnegas was happy for the boy who went on to become the famed hero in Irish folklore, Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool).
As with all folktales, they can vary slightly, which is part of their richness. I have attempted to pull together the most commonly known themes of the story to give you a flavour of what it’s about.
