Rowan & Pine: A Feminist Folklore & Mythology PodcastShow Notes
PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUSBCRIBE or we'll make you walk across the burial ground of your supposed ancestors.
This month we have the incomparable Heather, AKA heather.wildflower to talk to us about Megalithic Prehistoric Sites, Standing Stones & Circles, and Ringforts & Cashels. Dotted around the landscape of Ireland, Great Britain and Europe, these surviving remnants of our past have been the subject of folklore and reverence for generations. We get into their astronomical alignment as well as some of the magical experiences Heather has had while visiting them. We also discuss Ley Lines and their controversial reputation among the archeological and scientific community.
