Episode Details

This week’s Folklore Friday is something a little different — a story written by me.

Inspired by my love of hedgerows, my fascination with the fae folk, and my heartbreak at seeing litter tangled in the countryside, this tale is both a modern fairytale and a reminder of the magic that still stirs at the edges of our world.

✨ Inside this episode:

• A short original story, The Hedgerow Folk of September Eve, where fairies awaken at dusk to dance, feast, and sing beneath the moon.
• A reflection on how our ancestors once honoured the fae, the land, and the unseen beings woven into folklore.
• A closing poem — the original form this tale arrived in — shared as an incantation of remembrance.

This is not a retelling of an old myth, but a new story — a piece of modern fae folklore, written to reawaken our connection with the magic of the land and to remind us: the hedgerow folk are still here, still waiting, still watching.
