The ancient Gaelic festival that marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. A time when the boundary between the living and the dead grows porous, and the spirits of kin, stranger, and forgotten god alike may walk among us.

Samhain, the witches new year

Welcome to Echoes from the Loam, where stories breathe, shadows speak, and every tale leaves a mark. 
I'm your Narrator Fauna Blakewell, I'm a mother, a witch and student of all things spooky.
I'Il be exploring global tales of the weird and spooky.
Each episode, we'll hear an original or a tale based on old faithful legends from lore that unearth the strange, the sorrowful, and the slightly twisted, from haunted objects to black dogs and things that go bump in the night.
I've given you the first 3 installments as a gift, a welcome to my realm so to speak.
I will be releasing new episodes weekly on a Tuesday morning UK time.
