Halloween originated in Ireland where it was known as the Festival of Samhain. Today the Festival is celebrated in spectacular fashion in the seaside resort town of Youghal County Cork, Ireland. Mark is joined by real life Witch Yvonne Lawton who not only shares Youghal’s rich history and traditions but also explains all things witchcraft. Yvonne is part of a 22 strong group of witches with many global connections. It’s a fascinating chat and worth a listen. Also, County Galway is explored for all things historical and paranormal with the help of Paranormal Awakenings Ireland’s (PAI) Philip Costello. From the story of the mayor who hung his own son to a late-night graveside investigation of the notorious nazi propaganda broadcaster Lord Haw Haw. The little people, mayor rugged area known as The Burren and crumbling stately homes with sinister and debauched pasts are also in the mix.

From host Barbara I’ve been wanting to do an episode comparing and contrasting ecastatic spirit initiation (commonly called shamanic initiation) and alien abduction experiences for a while now, but my personal squeamishness around abduction narratives held me back. However, in doing research on anomalous light phenomena, which has a significant overlap with alien abduction narratives, I have broadened my reading on the topic and have made my peace with it. I might talk about my familial and personal abductionesque narratives in a subsequent episode but not for a while. But here it is, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guest for this topic than Alexandra. She’s deeply knowledgeable on both academic anthropology, and ecstatic spirit practices, and she did some of her doctoral research on the subject of mirrors and light in the context of shamanic practice, and we had a great time going back and forth and around and through the subjects listed in the title. I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ll leave my description of the episode at that. If you like what you hear in this episode, Alexandra is fine with listeners getting in touch with her to discuss these sorts of topics. She can be reached at forestwyrdwork@gmail.com . She’s also teaching a beginners shamanic journeying workshop here in the Athens area November 4th and 5th. She’s open to allowing students to use Zoom to virtually attend the class as well. Class size is limited to 8 students, so if you’re interested, contact Alexandra using the email above. We both hope you enjoy this episode and find listening to it an enlightening experience. But, I’m not done, because I have to list books and papers that are mentioned in the podcast.
