Tonight, on Day 10 of our countdown to All Hallow's Eve, drift away to LENORE by Edgar Allan Poe. 

*NOTE: I am publishing an episode a day, and if you think you have missed it, be sure to check out YouTube for VIDEO episodes! I realized that I have not posted all of the audio here to the podcast directly, when I release video episodes. Currently, the audio from the video episodes is published directly here to the pod, however, I do plan to make some audio adjustments in the future so that all of the podcast episodes are dreamy - without any chatter from me. <3

 ✨THE DARK TRAVELER ✨

“Goblin Market,” written by Christina Rossetti in 1862, is a narrative poem about two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, who encounter goblin merchants selling tempting, forbidden fruit. Laura succumbs to the goblins’ lure, eats the fruit, and soon falls into despair and decline. Lizzie bravely confronts the goblins, resists their attacks, and returns with the fruit’s juices to heal her sister. The poem blends fairy tale, temptation, and redemption themes, often interpreted as an allegory for sisterhood, sacrifice, and moral strength in the face of desire.

For the next 31 nights, Petra’s Dark and Dreamy invites you to step through shadowed corridors and moonlit graveyards, where the whispers of the uncanny and the echoes of the forgotten stir. Join us as we count down to All Hallows’ Eve with tales that chill, enchant, and linger long after the candle flickers out. Tonight, the darkness calls — will you answer?

Young Goodman Brown leaves his wife, Faith, one night to venture into the forest, where he meets a mysterious man. As they journey deeper into the woods, Goodman Brown sees respected members of his Puritan community participating in a sinister, supernatural ceremony. Shocked and disillusioned, he returns home, haunted by the experience. He lives the rest of his life in suspicion and gloom, distrusting everyone—including Faith.

*Note: some changes have been made to the content. The author's use of the word "race" is used as a reference to humanity.
