The Witchcraft series continues with Witchcraft of the Celtic world! From natural paganism, sacred trees to scruffy druid men and the goddess Brigid (hay gurl). Cursing, folk healing, wise women and fairy mischief have been a huge part of Irish and Manx culture right through Christian influence. We also have tales of a modern Bean Feasa, Biddy Early who was loved and feared in equal measure.. Audio at the beginning is from the RTÉ documentary "Was Biddy Early a Witch or a Fairy?", credit to CR's Video Vaults on YouTube; Fair use, we own nothing.
