Happy Almost St. Patrick's Day! We're presenting some Celtic Fairy Lore for your weird little ears. Some of it might sound a little familiar or you might learn a thing or two you didn't know about our Fey Folk Friends. Meghan begins the podcast by teaching us a little Faerie origin story about the Tuatha de Danann, where the Fae might have started out as Gods? Then Allison runs over a little mythology that she had recently learned about fairies — the Seelie and Unseelie Court! Also, could an Unseelie Fairy have inspired one of America’s most spooky fiction story?

Recorded and Edited by Allison Varca and Meghan Pavlovsky. Music credits go to Michael Vontas.
Keep your ears open for a little treat on St. Patrick's Day.
