All formats will be published on Monday 13th July.

    Ep 93 White Raven Dreaming: Lauren Returns

    Tonight, we enter the dreaming world—where trees become cathedrals, goddesses walk beside us, and the unseen communicates through symbols and shadows. In this episode, I welcome back Lauren (Ep 50 Elf Wood), who shares an extraordinary dream encounter with the Welsh goddess Branwen.  In the heart of a vast tree cathedral, Branwen appears as protector and guide, offering her strength as Lauren faces a dark shapeshifter moving through the dream’s shifting corridors. We explore the layers of this dream—the ravens, the food offerings, the sense of urgency—and how these symbols connect to Welsh mythology, intuition, and the subtle ways the fairy realm speaks to us.  Lauren’s story opens a doorway into a deeper conversation between our waking selves and the unseen world around us. This is White Raven Dreaming. The music of Lena Heide Brennan - Do Not Follow the Fair Folks Down - guides our journey over the threshold into Faerie.
