A stroll through the rich and fascinating folklore of Britain and Ireland. From music to psychogeography, to what to do if you notice the devil following you to church. It's a long, strange trip and there are no guarantees you'll be home in time for dinner. Each episode also includes a mini-almanac for the month ahead.

Happy Jól / Yule! ?

? Today the podcast takes a very different approach to last episode, as we head through the trees on a bit of a Cornish epic.
We meet different characters amongst the graves, including Tony Doc Shiels, Leonora Carrington... and Ithell Colquhoun!
But will they be able to help us...?

In this episode we continue our look at the folk traditions surrounding the early harvest feast. This time we look at the fairs of Tailtiu or Carmen; plus we play 'an hour in the hay', and mull over the significance of that very first loaf.
