Podcasts about Wales

For this month's Forgotten Melodies bonus episode we're singing and talking about Witch Songs!As ever, the episode features new arrangements of three traditional folk songs: Witches Reel, Broomfield Hill and Hare Spell, and Martin, Ben and Eleanor chat about the history and context of each.With Witch Trials continuing in Scotland long after they had ended in England and Wales, it's perhaps unsurprising that so many Witch Songs have Scottish versions. Following our Gunpowder Plot Patreon Exclusive episode we're therefore continuing to talk quite a lot about James VI of Scotland, I of England here, including about the North Berwick Witch Trials. Then again, there's also the hill in Somerset where witches offer handy advice to maidens! We've done our best to do the genre justice and sing songs that aren't all doom and gloom, and really hope you enjoy the episode. Although we are hoping to have some musical offerings coming up on the week of Christmas, Forgotten Melodies will now be on a small hiatus until 2026, so we'll look forward to singing and playing more music for you then!The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin and ex-Scotland captain Rachel Corsie join Steve Crossman and commentator Eilidh Barbour from Hampden as Scotland secure a first World Cup spot for 28 years. The team react to an epic night of football in Glasgow that finished 4-2 and had it all:  6 goals, a red card, a penalty, a stoppage time winner and a final-kick-of-the-game goal. Hear from Steve Clarke, the first Scotland manager to get the national team to three consecutive major tournaments, as well as from captain Andy Robertson and goalscorers Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean. There's also an interview with midfielder John McGinn. Elsewhere, Wales thrashed North Macedonia 7-1 to earn themselves a home advantage in next year's World Cup play-off semi-final.

Childminders play a vital role in the early years of children's lives, offering care, stability and a familiar face during those formative years. But their numbers are in sharp decline. Many are no longer able to offer places for three and four year olds, citing government funding pressures. Today, Ofsted have released new figures on how many childminders are leaving and joining the profession. Childminder Georgina Young joins Nuala McGovern to share her experience of the joys and challenges of childminding, and what the future might hold for the profession.Saskia Reeves is the theatre, film and TV actor known for her many roles including Katherine Standish in the hit Apple TV series Slow Horses. She's now back at the National Theatre, in a new play, End – the last in a trilogy of plays by David Eldridge - Beginning and Middle – with Clive Owen, exploring love and relationships. Saskia joins Nuala to discuss. The Independent Commission on UK Counterterrorism has just published its report after three years. A long and detailed report, it estimates there are up to 70 UK-linked individuals, mostly women and children—most under 10 years old—believed to still be in camps or other detention centres in Iraq and Syria. Professor of Religion, Gender and Global Security, Katherine Brown, is one of the 14 commissioners. She explains why the women and children remaining in these camps is "unsustainable" and why an organised programme of return, rehabilitation, and integration is, they believe, the best long-term option for managing the risk to public safety. Frank Gardner, the BBC's Security Correspondent, joins them to discuss.Coroners' advice and concerns on maternal deaths in England and Wales are being ignored despite them raising repeated issues, a new study has found. Dr Georgia Richards, the founder of the Preventable Deaths Tracker at Kings College London who is on the line from New Zealand, discusses the findings.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

There's a story that in the year 1170 a Prince from Wales, named Madoc, led a group of Welsh colonists over the Atlantic to North America. This group allegedly mingled with the local indigenous people and eventually assimilated into their culture. However, they left behind their language. For centuries it was believed that a lost tribe of welsh-speaking indigenous people lived somewhere in America. Is there anything to the legend of Prince Madoc or is this just a strange case of fake history? Tune-in and find out how penguins, elephants in Virginia, and Welsh utopians all play a role in the story. Join us in Greece in 2026!

England stun the All Blacks at Twickenham, Ireland run riot with Mack Hansen's hat-trick, Wales leave it late against Japan, and Scotland implode spectacularly against Argentina, and the lads have plenty to say about all of it. Jim's still emotionally scarred from Scotland's collapse, while Goodey digs into England's biggest win of the Borthwick era, from Ford's masterclass to Henry Pollock's Haka moment. We break down a huge weekend across the Autumn Nations Series, ask whether the Springboks have a discipline problem despite winning with 14 men again, and look ahead to Ireland–South Africa after a record Irish win over Australia.

Classical learning has deep roots in the United Kingdom. Yet many schools in England, Scotland, and Wales have drifted toward child-led, utilitarian models that leave students unformed and unmoored. At the same time, a quiet renewal is beginning to take shape.In this episode, British educator Jamie Burns, founder of the Fellowship for Classical Learning, joins host Davies Owens to share how he rediscovered classical Christian education, why he believes it is the answer to the UK's educational crisis, and how God is using a small group of families to start new schools in London and Cardiff.Jamie traces his own story, from an average state education to rich conversations around his family's dinner table, through years in mainstream schools, and finally to an “aha” moment listening to Andrew Kern that gave him language for what he had always felt. Along the way he offers a clear, inside look at the current state of education in England, Scotland, and Wales, and the surprising ways classical ideas are resurfacing in policy, practice, and school life.

A Talent for Giving: Creating a more generous society that benefits everyone by John Studzinski https://www.amazon.com/Talent-Giving-Creating-generous-benefits/dp/1399418793 “A guide for how all of us can make a difference in the lives of others.” Michael Bloomberg “Made me really think about what it means to give, to care, to be generous.” Sir Grayson Perry Reclaim your individual impact with 'entrepreneurial giving'. It's time to democratize generosity and impact so YOU can make a difference. Philanthropy isn't just about wealth - it's about creativity, passion, and using your unique talents to contribute to what you believe in. Visionary investor and humanitarian John Studzinski challenges the traditional notion that philanthropy is reserved for the ultra-rich, revealing how anyone, regardless of financial means, can become a force for change. This groundbreaking book introduces entrepreneurial giving - a hands-on approach to philanthropy that harnesses skills, expertise, and resources. Through thought-provoking insights, A Talent for Giving offers a powerful new roadmap for impact. More than a guide, this book is a call to action. Whether you're an executive, an artist, a teacher, or an activist, your talents have the power to transform lives. The future of giving isn't about writing cheques - it's about reimagining what's possible. And it all starts with you.About the author John Studzinski, CBE is an American-British investment banker and philanthropist. Since September 2018, he has been Managing Director and Vice Chairman of the global investment management firm PIMCO. In his philanthropic activities, he consistently emphasizes the importance of human dignity and the role in philanthropy of mentoring and active networks.

Over a third of women could face poverty in retirement due to a growing gender gap in private pensions, according to a report from Scottish Widows, with women's finances being hit by caring responsibilities and career gaps. YouGov carried out the reseach for the Scottish Widows annual Women and Retirement Report, asking 4,000 women from across the UK about their pensions and retirement planning, as well as savings, investments and career breaks. Nuala McGovern talks to Lily Megson-Harvey, the Policy Director of retirement finance company My Pension Expert. A third of all rape trials in Wales and England last year were postponed at least once, often on the day of trial, according to a new report published by the charity Rape Crisis England and Wales. Ten years ago in 2015 the figure was one in 10. Their report, Living in Limbo, finds rape and sexual abuse survivors are being retraumatised by the criminal justice system. Nuala is joined by Maxime Rowson, the charity's Head of Policy and Public Affairs. Back in 1995 a call went out looking for women to take part in a landmark scientific study exploring the links between what we eat and our health. Thirty-five thousand middle-aged women signed up to be part of the UK Women's Cohort Study. It went on to look at the impact our diet can have on our risk of developing cancer and other chronic diseases, as well as other areas of women's health from our bones to the menopause. Professor Janet Cade from the University of Leeds joins Nuala to discuss what it was like launching the study 30 years ago and some of its key takeaways for women. Families are calling for a change in the law after they say their babies' dead bodies were kept inappropriately at a funeral director's home. The case highlights a lack of regulation in funeral services in England and Wales. Nuala speaks to Zoe Ward, one of the parents affected, who recently met with Victims Minister Alex Davies Jones to call for new laws, and to Zoe's MP, Mark Sewards. Harriet Lane's new novel, Other People's Fun, explores modern life and the lies we tell others – and ourselves – on social media. It follows an unlikely and uneasy friendship between the unnoticed Ruth and the Instagrammable Sookie. Harriet joins Nuala in the studio to discuss why female friendships and ‘everyday horror' has always intrigued her. Presented by: Nuala McGovern Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Today's Morning Espresso dives into a massive World Cup qualifying day: Spain looking untouchable, Scotland and Denmark walking the Hampden tightrope, Wales chasing another Cardiff night, and a Concacaf finale full of chaos, revenge narratives, and Curacao on the brink of history.

King Charles has personally approved Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's return to royal duties — and Prince William is said to be furious. #ShuterScoop reports the Prince of Wales warned it was “too soon” and that “the Yorks are poison with the public,” but Charles insists “the family needs to heal in public.” Royal Insider Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue the tension isn't about the sisters themselves but the King's “tone-deaf timing.” Meanwhile, Express columnist Chris Riches argues Beatrice and Eugenie should lose their HRH titles altogether, unable to escape “the festering link” to Andrew and Fergie's scandals.The episode also revisits Sarah Ferguson's long-forgotten plagiarism accusation and Andrew's total fall from grace — from pitch decks to pariah status — while GB News notes Beatrice's quiet rebrand as “Beatrice York” might be the smartest move the family's made all year.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

This week on Two Cents Gets Distracted, the All Blacks served up a bowl of crap to their fans as England handed us a brutal loss, crushing our hopes, rattling the fanbase, and putting Razor and his coaching staff squarely under the blowtorch. And yes, we rant about it. At length. With feeling. Meanwhile, the Boks battled past a fired-up Italian outfit despite copping a red card that may go down as one of the worst decisions of the entire rugby year. Ireland absolutely pumped the Aussies, Wales finally remembered what a win feels like, and Argentina pulled off an outrageous comeback because of course they did — they're Argentina. All that plus a whole lot of BS chat, whinging, therapy, and emotional processing about the state of the All Blacks. Buckle in. It's a spicy one.

This week on Elite Rugby Banter, we unpack a weekend of rugby that felt like it was scripted by a mischievous referee with a flair for theatre. The Boks beat Italy, but the real drama was in the card deck — with Eddie Jones still talking about “intent” like it's a legal thriller. KLA ghosted again, Moodie's defence was more interpretive dance than tackle technique, but Dwilly was electric and Manie continued to Manie with reckless charm. Pollard? Somewhere between solid and spectral. If you're not betting on Bok 9s to score, you hate free money. And Rassie's bench moves? Chef's kiss. Across the channel, England stunned the All Blacks and now we're all asking: are they actually good? Is this real? Who's in the top five now — and does anyone agree? BBBB caught some heat, but the real fire was in the discourse. Ireland beat Australia, but only the wrong Aussies shone. Ireland looked better, but was that just because Australia are now a rugby ghost town? Scotland lost to Argentina, and surely Tooney's seat is now lava. Meanwhile, Argentina continue to “prove” they're a top team — despite having done so for five years, three World Cup semis, and wins over basically everyone. Can we retire the “on their day” trope? And yes, Japan played Wales. It's a week of hot takes, cold facts, and rugby chaos — and we're here to stir it all with a crooked referee's whistle and a wink. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

In this bonus episode, I discuss the grey areas between law and fairness in the world of HR and employment law.

10 years on from his passing, Ben James speaks to Kingsley Jones, Josh Navidi, Mark Jones, Rhys Williams and Xavier Rush about Jonah Lomu's impact on Welsh rugby.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 137-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,310 on turnover of $7.7-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan ended slightly higher Monday after profit-taking eroded most of the initial gains amid lingering concerns over stretched artificial intelligence stocks at home and abroad. Analysts say the market was initially led by the electronics sector as investors took cues from a rebound enjoyed by tech stocks on the U.S. markets on Friday. But this strength was compromised by the end of the session as many investors shifted to the sell side. MOFA names new ambassador to Palau The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approved the appointment of Andy Chen as Taiwan's new ambassador to Palau. Chen has been the director general of the ministry's Office of Parliamentarian Affairs since February. He will replace sitting ambassador Jessica Lee, who'll be returning to the MOFA headquarters in Taipei. Chen previously (先前) served as Taiwan's representative to Oman and head of Taiwan's office in Vancouver, Brunei, and the Philippines. He received his bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and Culture from National Chengchi University. (AH) Bangladesh's former leader Sheikh Hasina sentenced to death In Bangladesh, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death by a special tribunal (特別法庭 ) that found her guilty of committing crimes against humanity. She was put on trial in absentia and was found guilty of overseeing a crackdown on protesters last July. According to a UN report 1400 people were killed during the demonstrations last year, most by security forces firing live ammunition. Hasina claims she's innocent. Neha Poonia has more. Canada Budget Vote Passes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney won a vote on his budget in Parliament that could have triggered (觸發) a possible election. Carney's Liberal government does not have enough votes to pass the budget on its own but it passed 170-168 with the support of a Green Party member of Parliament and some New Democrat abstentions. The Liberals don't have a majority of seats in the House of Commons and must rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. The budget vote is considered a vote of confidence in the minority Liberal government. Carney's Liberal Party scored a stunning comeback victory in an election last April in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump. But the Liberals fell just short of winning an outright majority in Parliament. British Royal Mint Issues Freddie Mercury Coin Design Britain's Royal Mint is celebrating Freddie Mercury with a new coin design. The coin marks 40 years since his iconic Live Aid performance. It features an image of the Queen front man midperformance, with a musical stave (五線譜 ) representing his vocal range. Mercury's sister struck the first coin at the Royal Mint in Wales last week. She said the coin captures his passion and joy. The coins go on sale Tuesday. Mercury died at age 45 in 1991, just one day after he publicly (公開地) announced he was HIV positive. That was the I.C.R.T.

On the latest Rugby Direct, Elliott Smith and Liam Napier check in from Cardiff for a post-mortem to the All Blacks' humbling defeat to England - where is this All Blacks side at, are they stagnant or going backwards and does there need to be a re-assessment of the side's coaching make-up in the wake of the third defeat of the year. We also check in on the other results of the weekend, as well as predict how the All Blacks might line-up against Wales this weekend in Cardiff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steven Spielberg's extraordinary career redefined Hollywood, but his achievement goes far beyond shattered box office records. Rejecting the view of Spielberg as a Barnumesque purveyor of spectacle, Lester D. Friedman presents the filmmaker as a major artist who pairs an ongoing willingness to challenge himself with a widely recognized technical mastery. This new edition of Citizen Spielberg (University of Illinois Press, 2022) expands Friedman's original analysis to include films of the 2010s like Lincoln and Ready Player One. Breaking down the works by genre, Friedman looks at essential aspects of Spielberg's art, from his storytelling concerns and worldview to the uncanny connection with audiences that has powered his longtime influence as a cultural force. Friedman's examination reveals a sustained artistic vision--a vision that shows no sign of exhausting itself or audiences after Spielberg's nearly fifty years as a high-profile filmmaker. Incisive and discerning, Citizen Spielberg, Second Edition, offers a career-spanning appraisal of a moviemaking icon.

Steven Spielberg's extraordinary career redefined Hollywood, but his achievement goes far beyond shattered box office records. Rejecting the view of Spielberg as a Barnumesque purveyor of spectacle, Lester D. Friedman presents the filmmaker as a major artist who pairs an ongoing willingness to challenge himself with a widely recognized technical mastery. This new edition of Citizen Spielberg (University of Illinois Press, 2022) expands Friedman's original analysis to include films of the 2010s like Lincoln and Ready Player One. Breaking down the works by genre, Friedman looks at essential aspects of Spielberg's art, from his storytelling concerns and worldview to the uncanny connection with audiences that has powered his longtime influence as a cultural force. Friedman's examination reveals a sustained artistic vision--a vision that shows no sign of exhausting itself or audiences after Spielberg's nearly fifty years as a high-profile filmmaker. Incisive and discerning, Citizen Spielberg, Second Edition, offers a career-spanning appraisal of a moviemaking icon. Nathan Abrams is a professor of film at Bangor University in Wales [https://research.bangor.ac.uk/...(b8c6d91f-14c5-4862-8745-0f5d0e938a28).html].

1975 veröffentlichten Queen ihr viertes Studioalbum "A Night At The Opera", das für viele bis heute als ihr größtes Werk gilt. Auf dem Album befindet sich auch der legendäre Hit "Bohemian Rhapsody". Der Albumtitel lässt es schon erahnen, bei "A Night At The Opera" handelt es sich um ein Meisterwerk, das wie eine Oper klingt. In diesem Jahr feiert die Platte 50-jähriges Jubiläum. Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Veröffentlichung war "A Night At The Opera" das teuerste Album, das je aufgenommen wurde. Queen standen damals aufgrund von Management- und Vertragsproblemen kurz vor dem finanziellen Ruin. Obwohl das vorherige Album "Sheer Heart Attack" ein kommerzieller Erfolg war, sah die Band kaum etwas von den Einnahmen. Ihr damaliges Label Trient zahlte ihnen wöchentlich gerade mal 60 Pfund. Zusätzlich gab es Streit mit ihrem damaligen Manager Norman Sheffield. 1974 trennten sich Queen von Trient und von Sheffield, wechselten zu EMI und begannen unter ihrem neuen Manager John Reid die Produktion von "A Night At The Opera". Brian May beschrieb das Album einmal sogar als entscheidend für das Fortbestehen von Queen. Zum bis dahin teuersten Album überhaupt wurde es unter anderem, weil die Aufnahmen in sieben verschiedenen Studios stattfanden. Im Sommer 1975 zogen sich Queen aus London zurück und probten in einer Scheune auf einer Farm im Süden Englands. Zwischendurch arbeiteten sie in den Rockfield Studios in Wales, bevor sie die Produktion in verschiedenen Londoner Studios fortsetzten. "Bohemian Rhapsody" gehört zu den größten Hits von Queen und vermutlich zu den wichtigsten Songs der Rockgeschichte. Die Geschichte dahinter ist genauso außergewöhnlich wie der Song selbst. Freddie Mercury hatte bereits Ende der 1960er-Jahre die ersten Grundideen zu "Bohemian Rhapsody". 2023 kam heraus, dass das Lied ursprünglich "Mongolian Rhapsody" hieß. Diesen Titel hatte Mercury 1974 auf einem Briefpapier notiert. Warum aus "Mongolian" schließlich "Bohemian" wurde, bleibt bis heute ein Rätsel. Klar ist jedoch, dass das Wort "Bohemian" im künstlerischen Kontext einen Freigeist beschreibt, jemanden, der sich nicht an vorgegebene Strukturen hält. Genau das trifft sowohl auf Freddie Mercury als auch auf "Bohemian Rhapsody" zu. Der Song löst sich von traditionellen Konventionen. Meilensteine-Redakteurin Katharina Heinius erklärt, dass er aus drei Elementen besteht: einer Ballade am Anfang, einem Opernteil in der Mitte und einem Rockpart am Ende. Mit einer Länge von fünf Minuten und 55 Sekunden entspricht das Lied zudem kaum einem typischen Hitmuster, weshalb sich das Label zuvor fragte, ob es gut ankommen würde. Queen setzten sich dennoch durch. Das Lied blieb so, wie es gedacht war, und wurde zunächst stückchenweise im Radio gespielt. Die Neugier der Fans wuchs dadurch nur noch mehr und verschaffte "Bohemian Rhapsody" am Ende die Aufmerksamkeit, die es verdient. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "A Night At The Opera" sprechen wir im Podcast (03:11) – "'39" (11:20) – "Death On Two Legs"(21:10) – "I'm In Love With My Car"(28:44) – "You're My Best Friend"(36:00) – "Love Of My Life"(39:04) – "Good Company"(49:06) – "Bohemian Rhapsody" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "A Night At The Opera" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/queen-a-night-at-the-opera __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin by looking at England's unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel's real test will be winning the tournament itself?Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win.We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday.Next, we turn to England's impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford's two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick's approach is bearing fruit.We're then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running.And finally, we're joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Palden Jenkin in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://penwithbeyond.blog/about/ https://www.palden.co.uk/podcasts.html About Palden I was born in Hartfield in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex in 1950, in a nursing home which not long before had been the American Generals' HQ in Britain in WW2. A fine start. I grew up in 1950s Cardiff, Wales, and in 1960s Liverpool, and here my spiritual path began at age 16, tripping out on acid and beginning to see things in an entirely dfferent way. Went to university at the London School of Economics in 1969 during its time of revolution. I never looked back. This was the big change-point in my life, which set the course for all the rest of it. In today's terminology I was radicalised, thereafter dedicating my life to world change, and personal change with it, though very much tied up with it. Later I lived in the mountains of Snowdonia, Wales, then I had to leave the country in 1974, regarded by the authorities and media as a traitor and even a murderer, to live in Sweden until 1980. I'm really grateful for the safety and healing Sweden gave me. I married a Swedish lady, Berit, and we had two kids and many adventures, partly in Stockholm and partly in the forest in northern Uppland. There, as an English teacher of political refugees, inadvertently I started my later humanitarian work, in which I came to specialise in trauma recovery, social reconstruction and freelance intelligence work in conflict zones. During that time, after seven years' study, I became an astrologer. Since then I have counselled a few thousand people, writing three astrology books and founding the astrology camps in the 1980s. But I didn't easily fit into Sweden and, when I found out I was exonerated of my former alleged crimes, I returned to Britain. This involved a painful end to my marriage and the loss of two children. I landed in Glastonbury and I cried my eyes out with grief for two years in men's groups and therapy groups. This was a big change too, opening me up for something. Then came my instructions and I came alive again. In 1983-84 I started the UK camps movement – first with indoor gatherings in Glastonbury, then with summer camps, at first near Glastonbury, and later round the country. The Glastonbury Camps, spontaneously started and lasting three years, were followed from 1987 by the OakDragon Camps, from both of which many other camps organisations sprouted, in several countries.   By 1990 I was burned out, and there were quite a few people in the OakDragon who wanted to take things a different way. So, sad about that, I left and started again. I  went into book editing with an enlightened publisher called Gateway Books. In 1992 when I was asked to write The Only Planet of Choice – a book of communications from some cosmic beings called the Council of Nine. It was a privilege to write. I was also involved with editing a series of books by and about the Austrian genius Viktor Schauberger, and five books of alternative ideas about Jesus, and lots of other books too, through the 1990s.

Perhaps most famous as the home of the druids, Ynys Môn, also known as Anglesey, occupies 275 square miles just off the north Wales coast. It is an ancient place. Archaeologists found Neolithic settlements at Llanfaethlu, making these some of the oldest villages in Wales. The Neolithic Castell Bryn Gwyn site remained in use until the Roman period. Bryn Celli Ddu is one of the most famous Bronze Age burial mounds. This passage tomb is around 5000 years old, and aligns with the sunrise on the summer solstice. Its name means 'the Mound in the Dark Grove', and it was first excavated in 1865. With so much history everywhere you turn, finding folklore and legend is to be expected. Let's explore legends of witches, saints, ghosts, and druids in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore… Find the images and references on the blog post: https://www.icysedgwick.com/anglesey-folklore/ Book tickets for The Haunted Landscape: Ghosts, Magic and Lore: https://www.conwayhall.org.uk/whats-on/event/the-haunted-landscape-ghosts-magic-and-lore/ Buy Ronald Hutton's Blood & Mistletoe: The History of the Druids in Britain: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/12992/9780300267754 Get your free guide to home protection the folklore way here: https://www.icysedgwick.com/fab-folklore/ Become a member of the Fabulous Folklore Family for bonus episodes and articles at https://patreon.com/bePatron?u=2380595 Buy Icy a coffee or sign up for bonus episodes at: https://ko-fi.com/icysedgwick Fabulous Folklore Bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/fabulous_folklore Pre-recorded illustrated talks: https://ko-fi.com/icysedgwick/shop Request an episode: https://forms.gle/gqG7xQNLfbMg1mDv7 Get extra snippets of folklore on Instagram at https://instagram.com/icysedgwick Find Icy on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/icysedgwick.bsky.social 'Like' Fabulous Folklore on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fabulousfolklore/

As a teenager, Mhara was struggling with her gender identity and sexuality. She felt completely alone. But finding books about witchcraft and Druidry transformed her life. She enjoyed getting lost in stories of enchantment and learning about local folklore. When she was ready to join a Druid community, she discovered there was a thriving one right on her doorstep. Anglesey, in Wales, was one of the last strongholds for Druids in Britian after the Roman invasion. The land is believed to be sacred and contains several historical and spiritual sites. Mora Morrison joins Mhara in Anglesey and they visit sacred rivers, ancient burial sites, and the Anglesey Druid Order headquarters.
