Let’s stumble down Holle’s Well - into the world of German and Germanic Folklore, practices, and magic, as well as other European fairytales and lore! From reading favourite fairytales and going into the meanings of each, to how to practice and (re)connect to the Old World magic. In this episode we are joined by our guest De Spoekenkyker to discuss the folklore of Saint Anne in northern Germany, the possible connections to pre-Christian Paganism, symbolism and more. We ramble on about folklore and the importance of preservation and the issues of misinformation on social media.
