This episode begins with with St Lucy’s Day, tracing her bright crown of candles back to ancient shadows. Beneath the saint lies lore entwined with Lilith, Lucifer, winter witches, trolls and wandering spirits — revealing how this 'festival of light' once belonged to the darkest nights of the year. From there, we descend into the symbolism of the sickle — a tool of harvest, severing and fate. We explore its mythic lineage through Morana, Mokosh, Cronus, Saturn, the Grim Reaper and the Druidic priesthood. You will hear about the magical uses of sickles across Europe, their protective and banishing powers, ritual depositions and how you might weave this ancient blade into your own witchcraft practice today. We close with a look at Mothers’ Night (Modranicht) — the Anglo-Saxon celebration honouring ancestral mothers, protective spirits and the deep feminine that presides over midwinter. Also includes some simple, meaningful ways to honour this sacred night in your personal craft.","meta_description":"In today’s episode we journey through December folklore, peeling back the Christian veils to reveal the older stranger magic beneath.
