Miss Emily is BACK for our Halloween 2025 episode! Spooktober concludes with Niamh's guided tour of the Afterlife. We look at some comforting imaginings, such as the Egyptian Field of Reeds and the Celtic Tír na nÓg, cut right through Norse Hel and the Greek Underworld to arrive at the ICONIC self-insert fanfiction that is The Divine Comedy and specifically (as you probably know it) Dante's Inferno..

In medieval Europe, the practice of catoptromancy (divination using reflections) was closely tied to witchcraft and the belief that a mirror reveals the future rather than the present. Ancient traditions said that a mirror reflected a person's very soul: a distorted image signalled a corrupted spirit, while soulless entities like vampires cast no reflection at all...
