Hello and welcome to Faecraft, a journey into tales of wonder, whimsy, and woe. Join us, the Burk sisters, for a romp with the Seelie and Unseelie courts in this our very first episode. Chelsea digs into historical research and origins of the magical Scottish courts of lore, while Holly shows us the lasting legacy of these creatures in popular culture.
