For this week's very special, seasonally appropriate Local Legends episode we have something really special for you - a good long chat with Philip Carr-Gomm!

Philip lives locally to us here in Sussex in Southern England, and is a psychologist, psychotherapist, and author who served as the Chosen Chief of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD) for 32 years. He is widely recognized for his work in blending modern psychology with Druidry and nature-based spirituality, and if only for The Book of English Magic he deserves everyone's thanks and praise.

With May Day/Beltane coming up fast, this chat sees Martin and Philip reflecting on some big topics, including how Philip's childhood and teenage training in Druidry opened his eyes up to wider spiritual worlds, the legacy of Iolo Morganwg, the Push-Pull nature of Gurus and Ashrams, the afterlife of Philip's mentor Ross Nichols, UFOs, astral projection, and much more besides.

We truly hope that you enjoy it, and will speak to you again on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday this coming week - it's gonna be a big one!

The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.

Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...

Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.

With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
