In this haunting and heartfelt episode of the Sage in the Sky Podcast, I invite you to step softly into the mist-laced world of Scottish folklore… where a mysterious woman waits by the water’s edge.

Meet the Bean Nighe, the “Washer at the Ford”, a spirit who washes the bloodied garments of those fated to die. But who is she really? A ghost? A warning? Or a mirror for our own hidden grief?

This episode blends myth, shadow work, and deep emotional truth to explore:

~ The legend and lore of the Bean Nighe
~ What she reveals about our relationship with endings, fate, and emotional avoidance
~ How grief lingers when we refuse to face it and how to begin cleansing it with care
~ A gentle water ritual to help you symbolically release sorrow or fear
~ A reflection prompt: “What are you spiritually washing but refusing to face?”
