ABOUT THIS EPISODE
As the nights grow darker and the veil between worlds is said to grow thin, join Paula Rolls of Roaming Raven for the second instalment of our four-part Samhain Special.
This week, we step into the mysterious and supernatural side of Samhain, exploring ancient Irish folklore, the powerful Aos Sí, the mischievous Púca, the Otherworld and the belief that spirits of the dead may return to visit the living.
Discover eerie tales, forgotten superstitions, protective traditions and the origins of ancestor remembrance at this magical time of year.
So light a candle, settle in and join us for another journey beyond the firelight, where history, folklore and witchcraft intertwine.
