Folk & Seasons The Podcast

On Samhain, the old Celtic world believed the veil between the living and the dead grew thin. Not broken, not frightening. Just thin, like a curtain with a light on behind it.

In this episode of Folk & Seasons, I talk about fog, autumn trails, and the way the people we've lost return as a smell, a light at four in the afternoon, the sound of rain on a roof. About the old tradition of setting a place at the table for the dead, and why grief is something to host rather than fix.

A small ritual to try this week, and a question to carry with you: who would you set a place for, tonight?

Tell me in the comments or in a message. I read everything.

Rain doesn't just fall, it speaks. In this episode, I follow the sound of mountain rain through fog, forest and quiet roads, and listen to what it says about the seasons we carry inside us. Best heard at dusk, with a warm cup in your hands.

Folk & Seasons is a podcast about nature, writing and the inner seasons. Follow along for new episodes.

Around the autumn equinox, day and night become exactly the same length. For a moment, the year stops leaning in either direction. It just holds.

In this first episode of Folk & Seasons, I talk about September as a false new beginning, about why so many of us feel out of rhythm right now, and about what trees know about letting go. Autumn isn't an ending. It's the only season honest about being in-between.

No advice, no productivity tips. Just a window left open, and one small question to carry with you into the season.

Recorded as the light goes, somewhere in the mountains of Northern Italy.

New episodes every two weeks, following the year as it turns: one season inside, one season outside.
