October at The Story Hearth, and this month's theme is one I've been looking forward to.
The Unseen Border — Welsh ghosts, spirits, and the thinning of the veil. Not the theatrical, commercialised version of this season; the genuine Welsh folkloric tradition, which treats the presence of the ancestral dead as a normal and specific feature of the landscape. Crossroads spirits, corpse birds, river washers, hearth guardians, and the Ladi Wen at the stile on the night the veil reaches its thinnest.
Every Friday this month goes deeper into one of these figures. Come and find the Welsh unseen. 🍂🌿
