Winterfylleþ - October Almanac

Fair Folk Podcast

Sign up for October's Cave of Dreams workshop: www.houseoflegends.me/cave-of-dreams Find me on Substack: https://enthusiastica.substack.com/ In this almanac episode, I survey some themes of the folklore of October, from fire rituals to guising, and invite listeners to dream into the relationship they would like to cultivate with the unseen in the winter months of the year. The full moon of October this year is October 17th, from which this episode took its Anglo-Saxon name, Winterfylleþ, winter-full, the full moon marking the start of the winter half of the year.
