EP54 The Magic of Water: Wash with vampires, fight evil spirits, turn water into wine and protect coffee from witches - it's all on this fascinating Welsh on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast!

Water has many uses in Welsh folklore, from repelling evil to
bringing good luck.

Some of these traditions are practical, such as not spilling this
most valuable of commodities, while others are more gothic in
nature, and concern vampires, spirits, and witches.


Do any of these old customs still work today? Join author Mark
Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes in search of the watery secrets
on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.


 
What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees

In early 2020, Mark Rees launched the world’s first podcast
dedicated to Welsh ghost stories, folklore, myths and legends.


By combining his unique research and insights from many books and
articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes, this weird
and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the country's
countless curious subjects.

beasts from the Mabinogion and the skulled-headed Christmas
favourite herself, the Mari Lwyd.
