Episode 3 – Banshee
Leave your Ghost stories at the door, Kitty is here to talk about Banshee of The Good People, The Wee Folk or the Sidhe.
Faerie of traditional Irish Faerie Folklore are old, clever and can be really shrieky. They are all around us and watching, always watching.
But what are they thinking? Are they impressed by our social-influencing or are they unfriending us? Should we fear them?
In this episode, Kitty bins the hysteria to take a fresh, compassionate look at the most misunderstood of all Faerie: Banshee
Who is she really?
Why does she suffer so?
Does it matter what she looks like?
Can she really follow Irish families to America?
To get to the bottom of this and more, Kitty discusses 3 very different accounts of Banshee.
We celebrate Banshee and the Good People in song and poem and as always, Kitty explains why it’s okay to believe in Faeries.
