    Morgan le Fay: Enchanted Entanglements

    Morgan le Fay is a timeless enigma born on the pages of Arthurian lore. Yet before she was the modern legend’s evil sorceress, Morgan was a benevolent, shapeshifting healer. Join me on this brisk walk through the mists of Avalon and decide for yourself if Morgan is merely a lovesick character or the embodiment of a real-life enchantress whose pure-hearted magic makes her the perfect subject for this year’s Valentine episode.

    Christmas is Cancelled!

    Did you know Christmas was once banned?  The Puritans weren’t exactly fans of holiday cheer, and their crackdown on festivities was... intense. From outlawed feasts to fines for celebrating, it’s a wild story of power, religion, and culture clashes. Join me as I unwrap this fascinating chapter of history and explore how Christmas almost disappeared entirely!  Resources: Church of England ‑ Anglican Church | HISTORY History of the Church of England | The Church of England History of the Church of England - Wikipedia Saturnalia - Wikipedia Mithra, god of the sun, was born on December 25, day of the winter solstice Sol Invictus - Wikipedia Other Gods Born to Virgins on December 25 Before Jesus Christ | Griffin Christmas controversies - Wikipedia Christmas under the Puritans | History Today How Christmas Was Celebrated in the 13 Colonies | HISTORY Washington Irving - Wikipedia Dionysus (Bacchus) - Greek God of Wine and Grape Harvest. | Greek Gods and Goddesses - Titans - Heroes and Mythical Creatures Theophany - Wikipedia Epiphany (holiday) - Wikipedia   Connect with me: Facebook - Instagram - Twitter leedawnabooks@gmail.com PO Box 824, Aurora NC 27806   Affiliate Links: Rumble - https://rumble.com/register/LeeDawna_Author/ Rakuten - https://www.rakuten.com/r/3GILLS?eeid=45830 ALLi - https://allianceindependentauthors.org/?affid=10208 Kobo - https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=3as/gZthuJE&offerid=884497.1515&type=3&subid=0
