The Moon Episode
<p>The moon and its many phases has all kinds of names and lore associated with it, for this episode, I want to share with you some traditional Scottish stories where the moon plays an important role, sometimes acting as a catalyst for transformation, sometimes acting as a sympathetic witness, but always, ever present. In this episode you will hear a traditional Gaelic blessing for the new moon, a piece of 16th century music played on lute by musician Matthew Spring, transformation stories and stories of enchantment. </p><p>Harp music throughout is by fantastic Helena D Cauwer, singing by the wonderful Laura Gekiere and me and Sound production has also been expertly done by Laura.</p><p><br></p><p>The first 2 of my Seasonal Folklore booklets with St Andrews Botanic Garden are out now and you can find them at the Gardens, at a number of independent bookshops and also via the publisher directly here: </p><p><br></p><p>Spring:<a href="https://www.wideopensea.co.uk/product/seasonal-folklore-spring" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.wideopensea.co.uk/product/seasonal-folklore-spring</a>Summer:<a href="https://www.wideopensea.co.uk/product/seasonal-folklore-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.wideopensea.co.uk/product/seasonal-folklore-summer</a></p><p></p>
