Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast with tales from around the world.

It is the merry month of MAY! This episode is all about witches, who love to flit through the moonlight on the eve of May day or Bealtaine. (BeeYALtinna)

They have a bad reputation, but we think they're misunderstood. This story is about how people can be afraid of those who are different. We hope you like our little song, sung by Agatha, Mildred and Nancy. Here are the words:

NOW the moonbeam's dance and play

Cares are only made for day

Spiral through the milky way

Among the endless starlight

Hear the music of night’s call

sigh of wood and waterfall

pebbles tiny, mountains tall

in the endless starlight

Bless the moon and bless the breeze

Beasts of land and birds of trees

we are all a part of these

We are endless starlight

Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast with tales from around the world.

This episode is brought to you from Ireland! Leo and I explored the capital city of Dublin, learned about an unsolved crime, did some sight-seeing and had some super Irish grub!

Leo tells a brilliant TRUE story about Dublin Castle.

We then headed west to the beautiful County Mayo, and the mysterious Lough Mask. There are many legends about Loughs in Scotland and Ireland, and Emily's story features a malevolent creature that lurks in the dark waters.

Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales a story podcast with Emily and Leo.

Spring is coming!  Here in the Northern Hemisphere, it mat feel cold and windy, but underneath the ground the seeds are stirring for Imbolc - the coming of Spring. 

We love to celebrate St Brigid's day by feeding the birds, lighting candles to scare away the dark, or perhaps by making a Brigid's Cross!  We found a little video to show you how to make one from paper HERE, or you can try the traditional way and make them from rushes HERE.

Our story - Part 2 of the Snow Queen - continues Gerda's quest to find her best friend Kai.  She is getting closer, but what dangers lie in her way?
