St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow (and on a Friday this year!) so we decided to do another themed episode for our first year of podcastin' ☘️ 

Today we're covering some legends and lore from Ireland, such as leprechauns, haunted castles, fairies, and a Celtic hearth Goddess. 

Be safe out there tomorrow everyone, and don't do anything that I wouldn't do 😉 Or if you prefer to stay in, make some soda bread or some delish comfort food! I'll ( ~Sara~) post some of my favorites below. 

So in good ol' Irish goodbye'in fashion (my favorite tradition lolol), here's to the health of your enemies' enemies, and a second cheers to Hell! May the stay there be as fun as the way there! 

Sláinte! 🍻
