For our second tipsy tale, Hanny is reading two different Irish Folktales. The first story is called: The Queen Beneath the Hill. It is about a fiddler called Ruairi who has an unexpected encounter on a hill.

The second story is called 'The Piper and the Pooka of November' where a man called Liam ends up in a tricky situation with a Pooka.

Both stories are from: ‘Celtic Tales of the Strange’ by Joanne Asala and illustrated by Marlene Ekman

***IMPORTANT***
If swearing and fiddling-with-oneself innuendos are not your thing, you're gonna wanna sit this one out... okay! Okay!

Hanny and Liz discuss things that they are currently experimenting with. Liz has obtained herself a singing bowl. Hanny talks about The Power Wish by Keiko and The Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine online [not sponsored].

The first of our Tipsy Tales. We have had a couple of drinks and now we're going to rephrase a folktale in terrible crass language and sidetracked discussions about the characters.

We do not aim to offend, but honestly, the protagonist in this story has been called a few names... so if crass tipsy story telling is your thing, this is the episode for you!

Story is from: Finland

Hey Peeps,
This month Hanny and Liz have an in-depth discussion about the statement that our wonderful friend Lynn made;

"Centuries old practice is not learned on TikTok. Don't school others on lore you read "somewhere". Chop wood, carry water puppies. There are no shortcuts." -- Lynn Parlett.

During the discussion, we cover:

What is learning?How adult learners differ for childrenWasps... yeah, there was an interloper or two!How annoying being schooled is... and is it okay to 'school' people?How readily available instruction is in the witchcraft communityIs caring about other people's practice a good use of our time?Are there shortcuts we can take in our practice?

This month Liz chats with Tasmanian Witch Jess.

Jess is an advocate for the importance of a pagan community. She talks about her experiences running the Tasmanian Pagan Alliance and her involvement with the Australian Wiccan Conference.
