Episode #489

The sacred grove — a patch of forest set apart by custom and belief — appears in nearly every culture that has ever lived beside trees. Join host Shelby Bundy as she discusses what made a grove holy in Celtic, Indian, and Greco-Roman traditions, how those spaces functioned as sites of ritual and protection, and what happened to the reverence when the groves were cleared. 

Aiden McGeady returns to the show to join Si Ferry, Slaney and Andy Halliday to get his thoughts on the eventful start to the season which has seen Celtic & Rangers crash out of their Champions League and Europa Conference League play-offs.The lads also review the weekend's big talking points including Derek McInnes getting his first SPFL Scottish Premiership win as Rangers Manager against Aberdeen at Pittodrie while Celtic bounced back from their midweek nightmare against LASK to beat Falkirk 2-1 as Martin O'Neill maintained their 100% record.The Edinburgh Derby is set to take place between Hibs and Hearts at Easter Road on Thursday night and the boys give their views on who is set to win the first derby of the season between the two.

The Eyes of Fear The New Monsters – Story Five, Episode Three Why do monsters survive in an age of science? Why do ancient fears continue to evolve in a world filled with smartphones, surveillance cameras, artificial intelligence, and instant access to information? And why, after nearly thirty years, do people still report encounters with the Black-Eyed Children? In the concluding chapter of this three-part investigation, The Devil Within moves beyond eyewitness accounts and paranormal speculation to explore a more fascinating question: why do stories like this refuse to die? This week, Branden Morgan examines the remarkable science behind memory, intuition, and eyewitness testimony, revealing why the human brain is far more sophisticated—and far less reliable—than most of us realize. Are the Black-Eyed Children evidence of something supernatural? Could they be the product of suggestion, folklore, and the extraordinary way our minds reconstruct emotionally charged experiences? Or does the truth lie somewhere between those two possibilities? As the investigation unfolds, we discover that the legend's greatest strength may have nothing to do with black eyes at all. Instead, it lies in a deeply familiar human experience: the unsettling feeling that something is wrong long before we can explain why. It is a sensation nearly everyone has experienced at some point in life—a warning whispered by instinct before conscious thought has assembled the evidence. The episode then widens its lens to examine the evolution of modern mythology itself. From the changelings of Celtic folklore to vampires, fairies, ghost children, and finally the Black-Eyed Children, every civilization has created stories about strangers who appear almost human while violating some deeply rooted expectation of what it means to be safe. These legends are less about proving the supernatural than preserving emotional truths that transcend generations. As The Black-Eyed Children comes to its haunting conclusion, the series also completes the first chapter of The New Monsters. Together, these stories have explored the fears that define our age. The Frogman reflected our growing anxiety over environmental collapse. The Montauk Monster embodied our suspicion of powerful institutions. Slender Man demonstrated that mythology can now be created collaboratively by millions of strangers. The Backrooms transformed the architecture of modern life into the haunted houses of the twenty-first century. And now, The Black-Eyed Children ask perhaps the oldest question of all: Can we still trust what appears familiar? Because every generation creates its own monsters. But the greatest monsters have never been the creatures lurking in the darkness. They've always been the ones standing in the light. Next time on The New Monsters, we investigate one of the strangest pieces of modern cryptid folklore ever captured on camera. A grainy security video from Fresno, California appears to show an impossible figure walking calmly across a suburban lawn. No arms. No visible torso. Just two impossibly long white legs gliding effortlessly through the darkness. Could it be a camera hoax? An elaborate costume? Or the birth of another modern monster? Join us as we investigate The Fresno Nightcrawler.

Multi-Grammy-nominated and international multi-platinum artist Lukas Graham chats about his evolution as a writer, from his breakthrough with "7 Years" up through his latest album, Good Times. PART ONE The latest chapter in Paul and Scott's fierce disagreement over perfect rhyme versus slant rhyme in lyrics PART TWO Our in-depth conversation with Lukas Graham ABOUT LUKAS GRAHAM The multi-Grammy-nominated artist Lukas Graham came to international prominence in 2016 with the song “7 Years,” an anthemic piano ballad that topped the charts in multiple countries and was certified 12-times platinum by the RIAA in the United States. The self-titled album on which it appeared, known to fans as the Blue Album, was also certified Platinum. The Danish artist has built a career spanning five albums, with hits including “Love Someone,” which was certified platinum in 18 countries. His work blends soul, pop, and deeply personal storytelling, exploring themes of family, love, and resilience — from the loss of his father to becoming one himself. Lukas's latest album, Good Times, finds him reconnecting with the Celtic, acoustic, and folk roots of his Irish father while blending them with his unique pop sensibilities. You can catch Lukas on the road now as he tours with Ed Sheeran. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ah ha! The music only is Thursday. Thank you for that.  I'll ignore what arrives early and capture the tunes on Thursday. I work with words and the talk version interrupts my train of thought. I usually edit the show in my audio editor and take out the songs with singers.   I like that music but i cant work with singing… Over time I mash up a dozen of your shows, (instrumental music only and then let that run for hours. The music only version is just that much less editing to get to my goal. Keep it up. I love the show I do listen to the word version sometimes just to hear if I made the comments section." Jim emailed back in February: "Dear Marc Gunn The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast first landed in my feed when I was still carrying an iPod. I'd listen to the current episode and catch up the previous installments on the drive to and from work. Learning about various Celtic bands from all over the planet expanded my world view and allowed me to support those independent artists. I applaud your response to last week's challenging criticism and offer my financial support (finally) for the podcast. You will not be getting a photo showing what I'm doing while listening to the podcast because it's my companion during house work. As they say on Firefly, "See you in the verse". PS The Wicked Tinker's "Aiken Drum" (Big Bottle of Bad Ideas) is not a contemporary rebel song, but may help illustrate your point."

The New Monsters: The Black-Eyed Children - Part Two The Children at the Door They never break in. They never force the door. They simply ask. In the second chapter of The Black-Eyed Children, Branden Morgan investigates one of the most unsettling patterns in modern paranormal folklore. Following journalist Brian Bethel's now- famous encounter in Texas, reports of eerily similar experiences began surfacing across NorthAmerica. Different witnesses. Different cities. Different decades. Yet the stories shared an astonishing number of details. Two children. Late at night. Perfectly polite. An overwhelming sense that something is terribly wrong. And one simple request. "May we come inside?" This week, we examine the remarkable explosion of Black-Eyed Children sightings and the striking consistency that connects hundreds of eyewitness accounts. Why do these mysterious children almost always appear after dark? Why are they so courteous? Why do so many witnesses describe an instinctive feeling of dread before noticing anything physically unusual? And why do the encounters almost always end at a doorway, a car window, or some other symbolic threshold between safety and the unknown? As the investigation unfolds, we discover that this detail may be the key to understanding the entire legend. From ancient Roman beliefs surrounding doorways to Celtic fairy lore, vampire traditions, and centuries of folklore about supernatural beings requiring permission to enter a home, cultures around the world have long treated thresholds as more than simple entrances. They represent theboundary between order and chaos, the familiar and the unknown, hospitality and danger. Could the Black-Eyed Children simply be the latest chapter in one of humanity's oldest stories? Or have they become something entirely new?�Along the way, we explore the fascinating psychology behind intuition, examining why so many witnesses insist they felt overwhelming fear before they ever noticed the children's black, featureless eyes. Is that feeling evidence of something paranormal... or an extraordinary example of the human brain recognizing subtle danger before conscious thought catches up? Whether you believe the encounters are genuine, psychological, or simply modern folklore, one thing becomes impossible to ignore. The legend isn't really about black eyes. It's about the terrifying moment when kindness and self-preservation collide. Next week, The Black-Eyed Children reaches its conclusion as we explore eyewitness testimony, memory, mass suggestion, and the surprising ways modern mythology continues to evolve in an age of smartphones, artificial intelligence, and constant surveillance. We'll ask the question that has lingered beneath every episode of this series: What if the truth behind the legend matters less than the reason we've never stopped telling it?

The New Monsters: The Black-Eyed Children - Part One May We Come Inside? The New Monsters – Story Five, Episode One There are monsters that chase us through dark forests. There are monsters that wait beneath our beds. And then there are monsters that simply knock on the front door.�This week on The Devil Within, Branden Morgan begins a chilling new three-part investigation into one of the most enduring and unsettling legends of the internet age: The Black-Eyed Children. For nearly thirty years, ordinary people have reported eerily similar encounters with polite, soft-spoken children who appear unexpectedly at front doors, gas stations, parking lots, and lonely roadsides. They never force their way inside. They never make threats. They simply ask for help. A ride home. The use of a telephone. Permission to come inside. Then you notice their eyes. Completely black. No iris. No pupil. No white. In the first chapter of this new series, we travel back to Abilene, Texas, in 1996, where journalist Brian Bethel experienced what is widely considered the first modern encounter with the Black-Eyed Children. His extraordinary account would spread across the early internet, inspiring hundreds of similar reports and transforming a single frightening evening into one of the defining pieces of twenty-first-century folklore. But the story doesn't begin in Texas. As we explore the remarkable history behind the legend, we discover that humanity has been telling stories about children who aren't quite human for thousands of years. From the changelings of Celtic folklore to supernatural children appearing throughout European, Asian, and Indigenous traditions, every civilization seems to have inherited the same unsettling warning: sometimes evil doesn't arrive looking like a monster. Sometimes it arrives looking like innocence. Why do these stories appear across cultures separated by oceans and centuries? Why are human beings so deeply unsettled when children behave in ways that violate our expectations? And why does Brian Bethel's account continue to resonate with millions of people nearly three decades later? This isn't simply an investigation into a paranormal legend. It's an exploration of one of humanity's oldest fears—and the remarkable way ancient folklore continues to reinvent itself in the modern world. Next week, the legend explodes beyond a single eyewitness account. We'll examine the hundreds of reported encounters that followed, uncover the remarkable similarities connecting them, and�investigate why these mysterious children almost always ask the same question before anything else. "May we come inside?"

FROM THE ARCHIVES: This week, we're revisiting one of my favorite conversations from the What If Project archives, a conversation with John Philip Newell about his beautiful book "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul". What if the deepest truth about being human isn't that we're broken, sinful, or separated from God? What if we've simply forgotten who we are? In this conversation, JP introduces us to the wisdom of Celtic Christianity and its radically different understanding of humanity, Jesus, creation, and the sacredness of the earth. We talk about things like original sin, "soul forgetfulness," the divine presence within every human being, and what it might mean to see Jesus not as the exception to humanity, but as someone who reveals what has been there all along. We also explore JP's own journey from conservative evangelical Christianity into Celtic spirituality, why ancient Celtic teachers challenged the marriage of religion and empire, and how practices like silence, meditation, nature, and attentiveness can help us remember what our souls already know. I originally recorded this conversation a few years ago, but listening back to it, I was struck by how much of it still speaks to where I am today. So I'm pulling it from the archives and sharing it again!

Listen to a sampling of some of the 2026 New York Guitar Festival, with pieces by the duo of Goran Ivanovic and Fareed Haque and Pierre Bensusan recorded live in August at Bryant Park. Guitarist Goran Ivanovic is Croatian-born, while Fareed Haque is of Pakistani and Chilean descent.  Both now live in Chicago, and their music is a deep dish pie of South Asian, Latin, and Balkan ingredients, liberally spiced with improvisation. Hear some of their Balkan-South Asian-Latin fusion, recorded live at the first night of the 2026 New York Guitar Festival. Topansko oro 2. IndoBalkan 3.

Celtic take a 3-0 lead to Linz — but how do they actually kill this tie? On this week's Huddle Breakdown, Alan and James break down the Champions League play-off second leg against LASK at the Raiffeisen Arena. Using average position charts, duel data and pressing heights from the first leg, they explain how LASK flood the middle of the pitch, why their wing-backs were neutralised at Celtic Park, and how their three main weapons — the long early ball, crosses and set pieces — could still cause chaos in Austria. Alan makes the case for a compact mid-block and a 4-4-2, James argues over Liam Scales vs Cameron Carter-Vickers and the risk of playing a high line, and both revisit the Astana and Hapoel Be'er Sheva horror shows as cautionary tales. Plus: the state of Celtic's transfer window before September 3rd, where the squad is still dangerously thin, and why Celtic fans should be quietly rooting for Rangers, Hearts and Hibs on Thursday.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Ryan Jack joins Si Ferry, Slaney and Andy Halliday to review a big week of European Football for Scottish Clubs as Celtic have one foot in the Champions League after an impressive 3-0 win over LASK with Rangers still having work to do following their 1-0 win over Jablonec at Ibrox after they went down to 10-men due to Cammy Devlin's red card.We also discuss a massive away result for Hibs as they kept a clean sheet over in Belgium against Gent to take back a 0-0 draw to Easter Road while their rivals Hearts were so close to a 1st leg victory over Rapid Vienna after a James Wilson wonder strike but a late equaliser saw the game finish 2-2 at Tynecastle.The lads chat about Motherwell's valiant effort against last season's Europa League Finalists, Freiburg and also look ahead to the first Dundee Derby of the season at Tannadice!

Celtic beat LASK 3-0 at Celtic Park to take a commanding lead into the Champions League play-off second leg in Linz — but what does the data actually say? On this Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, Martin, Alan and James dig into a 3-0 win built on three world-class finishes from just 0.89 xG, a lost packing battle, and a midfield that was repeatedly wide open in transition. Alan explains why Callum McGregor was packed 31 times — a figure he's only matched against Bayern, Dortmund, Real Madrid and Milan — while James lays out the "jailbreak" problem behind the scoreline and asks whether Mika Baur and McGregor can play together. Plus: Camilo Duran's double and whether he's really a right winger, Benjamin Nygren's vindication after a season of abuse, Kasper Høgh's role debate, Viljami Sinisalo's first big save, Colby Donovan's breakout, and why Haissem Hassan's eight minutes were the most exciting of the night. The guys also look ahead to the return leg at the Raiffeisen Arena, the latest Celtic transfer links, and how Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and Motherwell fared in Europe.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Crystel y messaged on Patreon: "Hello again! I have continued to research keening and found this artist who I hadn't heard of before and was curious if you had ever come across her. I read that she died by suicide in the early 20 - teens but her son finished her last album called Biolingua and the song "Grief" takes my breath away. Her name is Eithne Ní Uallacháin and I found a couple of her albums on Apple Music. There is magic in her voice and lyrics; I'm not sure if there is a way to share her songs on the podcast but I thought you might enjoy her music regardless  -  I certainly do! I hope you're well and thank you for all that you do to keep Celtic music and culture accessible and thriving! It means more to me than I can even put into words, especially lately. Oh and to tie her music back to keening, someone in the UK did a podcast episode about her and discussed the song "Grief" as a possible iteration of modern keening :)" Shel O'Toole Messaged on Patreon: "I enjoyed the show today Marc.  I've been developing an assessment tool for my work and really struggling with it but I put the podcast this morning and I finally got it completed.  Music helped clear my head and also helped me focus on the task"

Have you ever caught yourself repeating a story about your life that, if you're really honest, isn't even true anymore? Maybe it's the "I had a perfect childhood" story, or the "I love my business" story, or the "I just don't know what I want to do" story. We tell ourselves these things so often we forget to check if they're real. That's exactly where this conversation with Philip McKernan took me, and honestly, it wrecked me in the best way. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Philip McKernan, a man who has built a global reputation for his unapologetic work with entrepreneurs. Philip has caddied golf for the president of Ireland, been chased by a bull elephant in Nigeria, made wine in Australia, traveled to 85 countries, helped build an orphanage in Peru, written five books despite being dyslexic, and directed an award winning documentary. For the past five years he's been restoring a 500 year old castle on 22 acres of Celtic rainforest on Ireland's west coast called Brave Castle, where he now hosts soul searching entrepreneurs and EO forum retreats. His whole philosophy, which he calls Soul Set, is about helping people uncover their unique gifts and use them to actually impact the world, not just talk about it. This episode matters because Philip doesn't let you hide. He has this gift, or maybe it's a curse depending on how you look at it, of hearing what people aren't saying. He calls himself insanely sensitive under all that toughness, and that sensitivity is exactly why he can spot a false narrative from a mile away. If you've ever felt like you're performing a version of your life instead of living it, this conversation is going to hit close to home. We give ourselves what we feel we deserve. Philip shared this belief that most entrepreneurs, deep down, don't fully like who they are, and that shapes everything from how they run their business to how they show up in relationships. Until you challenge that inner narrative, you'll keep recreating the same patterns no matter how much success you stack up. Life is a series of three mountains, and most people get stuck on the second one. The first mountain is about you. The second is about building something with others, your family, your business, your team. The third mountain is where it gets powerful, because that's where you turn your deepest scar into service for someone else. Philip's own mission became eradicating loneliness in the world, because loneliness was the thing he wrestled with his whole life. Busyness is often just a way to avoid feeling. Philip talked about how consuming endless information, chasing the next book or podcast, can actually be a form of running from yourself. He challenged listeners to stop consuming for a while and just sit with what comes up. Spoiler, it's usually clarity you've been avoiding. Geography quietly shapes your happiness more than we admit. Philip pointed out that so many of us build our lives in places we don't even want to be, hoping success will make it worth it. He's convinced that if you build something in a place that doesn't light you up, either it won't work, or it won't matter even if it does. Stop using so much "I" language. When Philip listens for what's really holding someone back, he notices how much people center themselves in their own fear. His advice was blunt and simple, your gift was given to you on loan, and your job is to give it away, not hoard it out of fear. By the end of our talk, Philip reminded me that the story you keep telling yourself, whether it's about your childhood, your business, or your fear, deserves to be questioned. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply ask yourself, is this actually true. This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to twice. Go catch the full conversation with Philip McKernan at https://happyhustle.com/podcast, and let it challenge the story you've been telling yourself too. What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you? Philip said it's about having a mission you're relentlessly going after, but never sacrificing who you are at the core, what you believe, or the people around you in the process. He admitted he doesn't do it perfectly, but he does it with intention. His final word was this, have something you believe in and stand for, but don't chase it at the cost of everything else, because if you do, it will never feel worth it in the end.

Celtic hammered Dundee United 4-0 — so why did they lose the xG battle and concede 19 shots? On this episode of The Huddle Breakdown, James and Alan dig into Alan's post-match stat pack and packing score data to explain the contradiction at the heart of Celtic's fast start to the 2026/27 season. Celtic are conceding packing scores near 300 against bottom-half Scottish Premiership opposition, roughly double the rate of the games they genuinely control, and the numbers point straight at central midfield: Callum McGregor's defensive success rate almost halved without Arne Engels beside him, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was physically finished five minutes into the second half, and Celtic simply aren't stopping danger at source. Alan and James also give first impressions of new signings Bauer and Hassan, debate Trusty vs Scales alongside Carter-Vickers, argue over Tounekti vs Yang on the left, and preview Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against LASK at Celtic Park — a Red Bull-adjacent, transition-hungry Austrian side that Celtic should out-talent, but who could drag this into exactly the kind of chaotic second-ball game Celtic are currently worst equipped to handle. Analytics, eye test, and a lot of anxiety about whether a great attack can paper over a structural problem.

Shaughan McGuigan and Euan Taylor pick their winners and losers from the League Cup last 16 ties. Marvin Bartley's incredible start to his managerial tenure at Stenhousemuir continues with a 1-0 win over a shell-shocked looking Motherwell, while Neil Lennon has much to ponder as Dunfermline are huckled out by League One Ross County. Neil McCann came out on top in the Ayrshire derby but was still a prickly pear in his post match interview, while Owen Elding continues to suggest he might be Hibernian's next big thing. The pair also question: Can Kevin Nisbet make the next Scotland squad? How good are Celtic's new signings? What do we make of James Wilson?

Celtic face LASK in the Champions League play-off round, so we brought in Austrian football expert Tom Baumgartner of the Other Bundesliga podcast for a full scouting report — free for everyone this week from our subscriber show, Extra Time. Tom explains how Dietmar "Didi" Kühbauer took over a LASK side sitting near the bottom of the Austrian Bundesliga and turned them into double winners, their first league title in 60 years, and why a squad everyone said needed a complete overhaul barely changed at all. He breaks down how they actually play: Red Bull-style vertical transitions, but with a manager unafraid to go route one from the back, one of the league's best crossers in Jørgensen, the mercurial Sascha Horvath gliding box to box, and American striker Samuel Adeniran as the battering ram up top. Tom covers their set-piece threat, their three at the back and pacey defenders, why 41 goals conceded is only half explained by that dreadful start, and how this LASK side measures up against the Sturm Graz team Celtic and Hearts have both faced. Then the one thing he keeps returning to: this squad has almost no European pedigree, and Europa League might be their level.

In this episode of The White Witch Podcast we step into the woods of August to explore two powerful allies of witchcraft, mythology and folklore - Bay and the Wild Boar. We begin with Bay a plant long associated with prophecy, protection, purification and victory. We explore the many ways Bay can be incorporated into your craft, from cleansing and divination to protection and banishing before following its mythological threads through Circe, Apollo and Daphne and into the sacred world of the Priestesses of Delphi. We also work with Bay practically finishing this section with a simple banishing spell using its leaves - ritual can be found here - https://witchesofthecraft.com/tag/bay-leaf/ Then we travel deeper into the ancient forest to meet the Wild Boar, a creature whose image appears again and again across European mythology as a symbol of ferocity, courage, sovereignty, abundance, protection and the mysteries of the Otherworld. We follow the boar through the story of Odysseus before travelling north into Norse cosmology and its connections with Freyr and Freyja including the golden boar Gullinbursti and Freyja's companion Hildisvíni. We visit the great hall of Valhalla where the fallen warriors feast upon the endlessly renewed cosmic boar and explore the animal's possible connections with the earth and mother goddess Nerthus. From there we wander through continental and British folklore, meeting the boar god Moccus, seasonal customs such as the Jouluporsas and the animal's importance within Celtic and Druidic traditions. We explore its links with warriors, death, the afterlife and the Otherworld alongside stories involving Merlin, the Devil, Cerridwen, Manannán mac Lir and the great boar hunt found within the Welsh tale of Culhwch and Olwen. We also venture into Greek mythology with Heracles and the Erymanthian Boar before looking at what the Wild Boar may represent spiritually when it appears within our own lives, dreams or practice. Our book review this month is Circe by Madeline Miller. We finish the episode with a collection of journal prompts inspired by The Odyssey inviting you to consider your own journeys, trials, transformations and homecomings. The journal prompts came from the Instagram page - @the_edit_experience_ What song do your sirens sing? What bow can only you string? What is your Troy? What is your Calypso? What is your Ithaca? Why can't you go back there? Can you forgive yourself for the last seven years? Can you accept yourself? So light a candle, gather your Bay leaves, and come with me into the old woods — where gods, witches, warriors and wild creatures are never quite as far away as they seem. Join Me for Our Mabon Coven Gathering If you've ever wanted to experience witchcraft in person, I'd love to invite you to our very first Coven Gathering in Lincoln. Together we will celebrate Mabon, the Autumn Equinox through seasonal folklore, magical teachings, practical witchcraft and a guided journey inspired by Baba Yaga's ancient forest. You will create your own Mabon Harvest Charm to take home, receive beautifully illustrated grimoire pages and spend the afternoon connecting with a wonderful community of like-minded witches over homemade herbal teas. Whether you are completely new to witchcraft or have been walking the path for many years, this gathering has been created as a welcoming space to learn, practise and celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year together. You can find the booking link below if you would like to join us. I would absolutely love to see you there. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1995695286324?aff=oddtdtcreator Join us in The Hedge & Hollow for a Circe Summer with our August theme - This month we journey to the mythical island of Aeaea to meet one of the most fascinating witches in mythology – Circe. Often remembered as the enchantress who transformed men into pigs however there is far more to her story. Circe is a woman of solitude, exile, herbal wisdom, magick, transformation and self sovereignty. Her island becomes a place of initiation where those who arrive are forever changed. Throughout the month we will explore Circe through mythology, folklore and practical witchcraft discovering what her story can teach us about reclaiming our own power and embracing the transformations life asks of us. Across this month we will look at - A deeper exploration of Circe's mythology - looking beyond the familiar tales to uncover the symbolism and wisdom hidden within her story. A guided meditation transporting you to Circe's island where you will meet Circe herself and discover the messages she has waiting for you. Two Hedge Witch studies exploring the magical folklore, history and correspondences of Hellebore and Cypress. Two plants deeply connected with liminality, death, rebirth and the ancient witch's path. Practical witchcraft including a beautiful Transformation Oil inspired by Circe's magick alongside banishing practices, reflection and spellcraft to support your own personal transformation. This month will lean into embracing our own transformations and moving towards them with courage, wisdom and compassion. I'll see you on Circe's island.

The Sportsound team review all of Saturday's League Cup action with wins for Aberdeen, Celtic and Ross County

Charlotte Cohen is joined by former striker Conor Sammon and football writer Stephen McGowan to preview a fascinating League Cup weekend. Can unbeaten Ayr United heap more pressure on Kilmarnock in the Ayrshire Derby? Will Dundee repeat last weekend's impressive win over Aberdeen, or can the Dons respond?How do Dundee United contain a Celtic side boosted by a raft of new signings? And after another damaging European setback, just how important is Rangers' clash with holders St Mirren for Derek McInnes?Plus, the panel make their quick-fire predictions, identify the weekend's coupon buster and reveal who they expect to be making the headlines by Sunday night

James and Alan break down a chaotic week at Celtic on this Extra Time, plus a full scouting report on LASK from Austrian football expert Tom Baumgartner of the Other Bundesliga podcast. With Arne Engels heading to West Ham, Mika Baur arriving from Paderborn and Haissem Hassan already in the building, the pair dig into whether Celtic's player trading model is actually working — and what Baur really is: a Hatate replacement, an Engels replacement, or something new. James walks through his full transfer benchmarking on Baur (long passing, crossing volume, and an xG-per-shot number that raised eyebrows), while Alan shares fresh SkillCorner EPV data showing Hassan out-carrying Lamine Yamal for in-possession value, with a serious caveat on his passing. Tom then takes 25 minutes on LASK: how Dietmar Kühbauer rescued a squad staring at a relegation scrap and turned them into double winners, why they'll mix Red Bull-style verticality with route one, the threat of Samuel Adeniran and Sascha Horvath, their set-piece danger, and the one weakness Tom keeps coming back to — a squad with almost no European pedigree. Alan and James return to weigh the "toxic combination" risk of starting new signings with Donovan, revisit Alan's deep dive on Yang Hyun-jun, and preview a tricky League Cup trip to Jim Goodwin's newly front-footed Dundee United.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Lawrence Haggart had everything to look forward to. A gifted teenage footballer who had already signed for Celtic and represented Scotland at youth level, Lawrence appeared destined for a bright future in the game he loved. But after an ordinary evening out with friends, his life was brought to a devastating end in a brutal attack that left his family and community searching for answers.In this episode, I examine the investigation into Lawrence's murder, the extraordinary mistakes that saw detectives become fixated on the wrong suspects, and how the real killer was eventually brought to justice.Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWriting Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Watch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosGet All The News First - Subscribe To My Newsletterhttps://uktruecrime.comJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.
