St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow (and on a Friday this year!) so we decided to do another themed episode for our first year of podcastin' ☘️  Today we're covering some legends and lore from Ireland, such as leprechauns, haunted castles, fairies, and a Celtic hearth Goddess.  Be safe out there tomorrow everyone, and don't do anything that I wouldn't do 😉 Or if you prefer to stay in, make some soda bread or some delish comfort food! I'll ( ~Sara~) post some of my favorites below.  So in good ol' Irish goodbye'in fashion (my favorite tradition lolol), here's to the health of your enemies' enemies, and a second cheers to Hell! May the stay there be as fun as the way there!  Sláinte! 🍻 Recipes:  https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/grandmas-irish-soda-bread/#tasty-recipes-67782 https://veganhuggs.com/instant-pot-potato-leek-soup/  https://www.livekindly.com/vegan-irish-recipes-st-patricks-day/amp/  ~Contact us~  Instagram: thecastawayspod  TikTok: the_castaways_pod  Email: thecastaways.pod@gmail.com - send in your spooky stories!   Brigid’s Cross instructions:  https://www.myirishjeweler.com/blog/how-to-make-your-own-brigids-cross/  The Way of Brigid Oracle Deck:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/554529672/way-of-brighid-oracle-cards  Sources:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leamaneh_Castle  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A1ire_Rua_O%27Brien  https://emeraldisle.ie/red-mary  https://spiritedisle.ie/explore-listing/belvelly-castle/  https://belvellycastle.com/history_haunting/the-shattered-mirror/  https://www.ross-castle.com/history/ghosts  https://www.independent.ie/regionals/herald/lifestyle/halloween/my-night-in-a-haunted-castle-27991389.html  https://heritageireland.ie/places-to-visit/ross-castle/  https://www.malahidecastleandgardens.ie/castle/castle-ghosts/  https://www.hauntedrooms.co.uk/haunted-places/ireland/malahide-castle  https://listverse.com/2016/06/07/10-curious-encounters-with-fairies/  https://emeraldisle.ie/the-fairy-folk  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_Investigation_Society  https://www.awakening2onelove.com/blog/2022/4/10/my-fairy-diary  https://emeraldisle.ie/the-leprechaun  https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/10/bizarre-cases-of-real-encounters-with-leprechauns/  https://emeraldisle.ie/irish-moon-knots  https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/st-brigid-s-well  https://druidry.org/resources/brigid-survival-of-a-goddess  https://blogs.stthomas.edu/arthistory/2016/11/02/an-exploration-of-the-irish-holy-wells-of-st-brigid/  Disclaimer:   The primary purpose of this podcast is to educate and conversate, and we do not offer professional advice.
