Samhain with The Corn(ish) Witch
Episode 10
Fae, Ghosts, Ancestry & Old Cornish Magic
Hello Witches
Join me for episode one of Witch Week for Samhain.
On this episode I am joined by the wonderful Freyja, The Corn(ish) Witch, for a deeply magical conversation exploring the folklore, spirits, and ancestral traditions of Cornwall — where the veil between worlds seems to shimmer a little closer to the skin.
Together we wander through -
How Freyja will be celebrating Samhain and honouring her ancestors.
Her own ghost and fae encounters, and what they’ve taught her about the Otherworld.
The Cornish fae — from the Bucca to the Piskies — and their role in local lore.
The mysteries of Merlin, Tintagel and Cornwall’s most powerful magical sites.
The Cornish Pellars, traditional cunning folk and healers of the region.
How ancestral trauma can echo through our DNA
The celebration of Allantide — Cornwall’s own festival of apples, ancestors and soul fire.
Plus, a few lesser-known herbs to work with this Samhain season — rooted in Cornish tradition and spirit medicine.
This episode feels like walking through mist on the moors — old stories rising up from the land, whispering through time.
This one’s for those who feel the call of the old paths — for witches who remember the song beneath the soil.

OCTOBER ON PATREON - WHISPERS AT THE VEIL
As the nights lengthen and the veil thins, the voices of the ancestors stir — soft, haunting, and full of wisdom.

Guided meditation to open ancestral communion
A podcast/grimoire pages on ancestral witchcraft & initiatory death rites in coven and esoteric traditions
An ancestor altar + ritual kit (printables + invocation)
Tarot & oracle spreads for ancestral guidance
Weekly journal prompts for reflection, healing, and remembrance

A closing rite of Ancestral Blessing — sealing their wisdom into your path as the wheel turns
