    SPECIAL EPISODE: A Walk Through The Woods

    As there have been some major changes in the currents of our modern life, this week's Podcast is a little different. Instead of legends, lore, and more focused on Irish histories and mysteries, I wrote a narrative where you can envision yourself as the main character, on a pleasant walk through the woods. This podcast is written to simply be as relaxing and visual as possible.

    Cast The Devil Out

    Are there Angels and Devils fighting over the mortal souls of humans, or are these mentally afflicted people suffering from extreme delusion? Today, as we cover Irish histories, mysteries, and legends, we are going to discuss the tales of fallen angels and the mythical battle over the scales of good and evil on Earth. Where in these tales is the truth, the light, and the way? And how do we move forward in understanding these stories and their impact on our society.

    A Scream In The Night

    The Banshee's description varies widely depending on the Story Teller. Sometimes, she is an old woman with a black veil, a young red haired woman in a shroud, or even a headless woman naked from the waist up carrying a bowl of blood. All, however, agree that she is death's messenger, a solitary creature living without community who will never marry, take friendship, or give out any favors, except to simply warn that the last words are at hand. Join us for a tale about the Banshee, and the lone scream in the night
