Let us introduce you to episode 1 of our new series, Darklore, where we explore the creepy, horrific, unsettling darker side of folklore! Please join us as we get lost down twisting paths of lore, myth and macabre tales of dark magic that can never be fully known.  In today’s episode we examine dark fairies, from the Unseelie court to fairy abductions and even vampire fairies.

The Elder Futhark Runes are an early form of written language. Runes have been used both as letters to spell words, and as symbols containing greater meaning. By referencing familiar objects and experiences — such as water, hail, fire, seeds, cattle, breath, the sun, and family — they became archetypes, which today are harbingers of larger concepts — such as life force, creative flow, wealth management, language, consequences, and community. Join me as I talk to Diane and Paul Ennis about the meaning of runes, their intersection with technology and their nonprofit that can help you connect with all things Elder Futhark.
