Join us for an unforgettable conversation with Mhara Starling, author, witch, and renowned voice in Welsh folk magic and mythology.
In this episode, Mhara takes us deep into the heart of Welsh witchcraft, the enduring legacy of the Mabinogi, and the bardic traditions that continue to shape Welsh identity and spiritual practice today. This is a journey of ancestral wisdom, magical storytelling, and cultural revival.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
- What makes Welsh witchcraft unique, from its poetic charms to its deep cultural roots
- The spiritual power of song, spoken word, and the bardic arts
- Why the Mabinogi remains vital to understanding Welsh myth and magic
- The recurring theme of shame and redemption in the Four Branches
- How oral tradition preserved these stories long before they were written down
- That epic moment when a giant is mistaken for an island and his sister declares, “That’s my brother, and he’s angry.”🌀
Mhara shares personal insight into how these tales inspire her own witchcraft and how they remain relevant for modern spiritual seekers and lovers of story alike.
