In this episode, The Wyrdo's take you on a journey into the heart of Samhain, the Celtic festival that marks the transition from summer to winter. They'll uncover the rich history and mythology surrounding this ancient celebration, including tales of the Otherworld, the spirits of the dead, and the power of nature. We'll explore the historical significance of Samhain, its connection to the Celtic new year, and its role in shaping modern-day Halloween traditions.
This exploration takes the wyrdo's to the enchanting town of Glastonbury, a place steeped in myth and legend. They discuss the haunted George and Pilgrim pub, where ghostly apparitions are said to roam the halls, the mystical Glastonbury Tor, a site of ancient worship and a gateway to the Otherworld. And delve into the mysteries of Glastonbury Abbey, where the legendary King Arthur and Queen Guinevere are said to be buried.
