EP105 Paranormal Power of the Sun and Moon: Death Omens, Dragon Lore & Druid Magic (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

The sun and the moon have long been associated with good and bad
luck, but what is their supernatural power?

In this episode, the folklore of the skies is examined with tales
of ancient druids, terrible death omens, Welsh dragons, and
traditions that may have connections with modern-day Christmas
and Easter.


Join Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) for a folkloric investigation in
search of the folklore of the sun and the moon on the Ghosts and
Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare!


 


 
What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees
podcast?

The "Ghosts and Folklore of Wales" podcast explores Welsh ghosts
and ghost stories, lore, myths and legends.


Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees in early 2020, this
weird and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the
country's countless curious subjects by combining decades of
research and insights from many books and articles with long-lost
tales from dusty old tomes.


Ranging from "real life" encounters with the uncanny to
fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are
uploaded every other (Folklore) Thursday and feature everything
from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons and the odd
wicked, and not-so-wicked, witch.


Along with the regular stories you can also expect the odd
special guest, an occasional "live" ghost hunt, and all sorts of
crazy ideas. Seasonal specials include the dark and Gothic
Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions of old, to everyone's
favourite skulled-skulled Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd
herself.


Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and
cascading waterfalls to the bustling cities and a remote farm,
think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files... and some tenuous
Ghostbusters links!
