In this episode, we wade into the liminal waters of Scottish sea folklore and witchcraft to explore the magic of letting go.
Together, we’ll:
~ Meet the selkies of Scottish myth, seal-folk who slip between land and sea, teaching us about freedom, belonging, and surrender.
~ Encounter stormy tide spirits like the Blue Men of the Minch, and the ancient Samhain offerings poured out to Shoney, the Hebridean sea god.
~ Discover why salt and sea water have been used for centuries as purifiers, protectors, and healers.
~ Be guided through a sea-inspired ritual (adaptable as a bath or bowl ceremony) to release what no longer serves you and welcome in renewal, perfect whether you live by the coast or far inland.
This is a gentle, story-rich journey with waves, myth, and ritual woven together. By the end, you’ll feel as though you’ve walked the Scottish shore at twilight and offered your burdens to the tide.
Perfect for anyone drawn to shadow work, Scottish folklore, sea witchcraft, or simply craving a ritual of release.
