In this episode of Roaming Raven, we step into one of the most haunting and mysterious corners of European folklore — the story of the fairy midwife. Across Britain and Ireland, tales were told of women called from their beds in the night to attend births in strange, hidden places, only to discover they were assisting not human mothers, but the Fair Folk. These stories sit at the crossroads of fear, wonder, and ancient belief, revealing how midwives were seen as women who stood on the threshold between worlds. In this episode, we explore the folklore, symbolism, and historical echoes of the fairy midwife, and what these stories may reveal about birth, women's knowledge, and the thin veil between the seen and unseen.
