Listen Later

In this whimsical episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST, Rachel True and Mat Auryn sit down with Welsh witch and author Mhara Starling to uncover the rich world of Welsh folklore, fairies, and magick. Mhara takes us deep into the historical and cultural roots of witchcraft in Wales, revealing why Welsh witches were often accused of working with fairies rather than demons. She shares the fascinating connection between fairies and the dead, exploring the blurred lines between spirits, the otherworld, and the magical beings that walk between them. Mhara also debunks modern misconceptions about fairies and shares a chilling personal experience that might just be a real-life encounter with the otherworld. We also dive into the magick of household spirits—how to build relationships with them, why they sometimes make your life difficult, and the surprising ways they communicate. Mhara opens up about her journey into witchcraft, the mentors who shaped her path, and how she blends tradition with modern practice. We talk about her books Welsh Witchcraft and Welsh Fairies, why she felt compelled to write them, and what she hopes readers will take away. With her signature humor, storytelling flair, and deep knowledge of Welsh lore, Mhara Starling makes this episode a must-listen for witches, folklore lovers, and anyone curious about the real magick of fairies. Don't miss this lively and insightful conversation!
