Today being both #Lammas and #FolkloreThursday, what better time to launch our new folk storytelling podcast, with EPISODE ONE: 🩸THE RED KING AND THE WHITE SHIP👑 findingfolklore.org A brief thread. (1/6)

I and James Carney have been working on this for the bulk of this year, and I'm incredibly proud of it. Give episode one a listen, and let us know what you think! Story, song, history and food. What more could you want?

These have always felt like the classic "empty this river with a sieve" unfinishable tasks of folkloric motif — but of course the answer is just to employ more than one person at a time.

Chilling ghost stories and folk tales, alongside the #folklore and #history of #Halloween 'Halloween Folklore and Ghost Stories' by Brice Stratford is out this #September. Pre-order now 📖: buff.ly/4cUfu0R #spookyseason #Folklore

With the success of my last post I thought it would be nice to touch on what a warrior of the late 6th century would look like, this time focusing on Arthwys' grandson Peredur. Next article will focus on Coel Hen, and show a Late-Roman Warlord in his full glory.
