    Hi friends. Unfortunately my chest and voice are still wrecked from having the flu so I can't record anything that people would want to listen to. So here's the second part of 2023's Halloween reading.   Be warned that traditional Halloween traditions may be a bit disturbing, but I left out the nasty stuff. This spooky episode shouldn't leave you sleepless. We continue the exploration of how pagan traditions were subsumed into Christianity, and how even some Christian traditions began to be viewed negatively after this association was created. We also finish off with a few fun traditions of regions like Brittany as we say goodbye to this particular book.

    Sorry friends, back to school time means my daughter has brought home a fun new illness which means I have no voice or energy, so I'm pulling this weird one out of the archive. Be warned that traditional Halloween traditions may be a bit disturbing, but I left out the nasty stuff. This spooky episode shouldn't leave you sleepless.

As the mysterious land they could see on clear days was otherwise unknown to them. Learn about how pagan traditions became ‘evil' and which ones were adopted by Christianity.

I keep life away from Sleepy Time Tales, as it's intended as a refuge and respite, but I do want to acknowledge that for me, and many others, it's been a rough year. Although for me it has also seen a lot of growth, change and joy. For others the year has been short of joy and the future may seem a bit dark. But with love, respect and community we can face the challenges ahead. And I will be here to try help by giving you a good night's sleep. Because life is a tiny bit easier with rest.

    Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions by Charles Mackay We pick up this week learning about how private enterprise came up with the plan to save the English economy by exploiting the new frontiers of South America through forming the South Sea Company in 1711. Driven by the promise of ships full of gold coming from the native tribes of the New World a frenzy of speculation in stocks in the company drove stock values through the roof. However, the riches failed to materialise as Spain, in control of most of the New World would not allow free trade from their English rivals. But this didn't prevent some people becoming wealthy from the scam while ruining many, many others.
