This episode explores the mysterious relationship between fairies and midwives in folklore. The tales from Wales, Lapland, Craven, and Germany highlight the role of midwives in the otherworldly realm. The stories emphasize caution, trust, and the hidden value of seemingly worthless things. Midwives are depicted as respected and feared figures, bridging the gap between mortal and otherworldly. The presence of human midwives in fairy childbirth symbolizes mutual respect and cultural exchange. These tales reflect the deep connection our ancestors felt with the unseen and the intertwining of human culture and folklore.
