Ok, just one more pod to end the year! Two extraordinary tales to see in Christmas with, retold in my own words.

• The Christmas Masquerade - Published by Mary E. Wilkins, 1892

• The Sparrow and the Winter Fairy - Published by Georgianna M. Bishop, 1859

Thank you for joining me this year in Witch Country.

May these old stories bring warmth to your hearth and a spark of wonder to your winter days. We’ll meet again in the new year for more tales, folklore, and seasonal reflections.

Until next time, keep the witch lights burning, may the glow of the season always guide you into safe harbour and may a little winter magic find its way to your door.

Merry Christmas and Bright Yuletide, one and all xxx
