November’s As the Season Turns
Guy Fawkes, Will o’ the Wisps, and the closing down of the ancient woodland
November’s edition of my podcast with Ffern, As the Season Turns, is out now.
In it we mark the old festival of Samhain and the end of the harvest, while in our ancient woodland the animals too are saying goodbye to autumn. We explore fire folklore, from Guy Fawkes to Will o’ the Wisps, and our resident musicians The Breath sing ‘All That You Have Been’, a song for this dark month. Finally to lighten the dark I tell a traditional Hopi tale of spiders and fire.

Remember that the podcast makes a brilliant companion to The Almanac, and vice versa…
Listened to this in the car as a family on the way home from Cornwall yesterday - the children loved the Grandmother Spider story! 💗
