    Yuletide Special

    This time of year is said to be a liminal time and so this episode brings you stories of creatures and spirits who flit between worlds, as well as a non Scottish story of the Snow Queen, a story I always love for this time of year. This episode has been made possible thanks to these incredible people: Playing harp : Helena De Cauwer Choir vocals : Marie Cocriamont, Roos Denaeyer, Laura Gekiere  Sound editing : Laura Gekiere  You can find everyone on Instagram: @vitrifrancesca @medinktation @hym.we.are @rosabutsi @eileenbudd #folklore #yule #scottish #winterstories #christmas
