    IN THE SEASON OF THE CRONE

    Send us a text I was going to release this episode in October but I felt moved to release it now (perhaps by the Cailleach herself!).  As we enter the season of the Crone it is time for us all to ground ourselves, go within and allow for our inner wisdom to speak to us. It is a time for stillness, a time for facing and alchemizing our shadows. Telling that inner child 'I see you and I hear you.' The Cailleach is returning from the forest to reign during the colder months, beginning on Samhain (Halloween). With the crazy energies right now, be still, stay focused and listen to the inner wisdom of the Winter Crone, being open to what she has to show you. This episode was recorded in Crow's Haven at Castle Blood. The video version of this episode will be released at my After Hours vlogging channel (im also getting the hang of my new microphone so please excuse the occasional mic popping!) as part of my 31 Days of Halloween, when you will actually get a little look at Crow's Haven. Or see it in person by visiting the amazing inhabitants of Castle Blood this Halloween season! http://castleblood.com #Samhain #Halloween #mabon #thecailleach #seasonofthecrone #gowithin #Castleblood #maidenmothercrone #bestillandgowithin

    HIDDEN LIBRARY REVIEW: The Scary Stories Trilogy

    Send us a text What scared you as a child? Or what story and urban legend left a profound impact on you. For many born in the later years of the 20th century it was the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Trilogy. In this episode I talk of my own experience growing up with this popular series and how it influenced my own storytelling going forward.  Did you grow up with the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books? If so, which story had the most lasting impression on you? #scarystoriestotellinthedark #urbanlegends #ghosttales #halloween #Samhain

    A Tribute to Anne Boleyn

    Send us a text On this day in 1536, England saw the first Queen executed by beheading. Queen Anne Boleyn has left quite an iconic mark on history and the English monarchy. While I plan to do more episodes on her, this episode is a tribute to her on this day. One of my favorite sources on all things Anne Boleyn is Claire Ridgway's Channel on YouTube, The Anne Boleyn Files and the Tudor Society. She's also written some excellent books which I will be discussing more of. Until then, rest east and eternal peace to Anne Boleyn, George Boleyn, Sir Henry Norris, sir Francis Weston, William Brereton, and Mark Smeaton.  🖤⚔️🥀
