Irish Faerie Lore

Content Warning: infanticide, death of children and infants, childhood illness, starvation, and poverty.

Folktales are stories that come from the everyday lives of the common people (folk), to be told around the fire, in a community setting, and feature fantastical tales of the imagination for kids and adults alike. Join Dr. Caitlinn Curry and Dr. Randall Ulyate around the Mything Link fire as they learn the real faerie stories from Irish social story curator and founder of Craicly Stories, Jane Gormley, in this episode of Season 2: Monsters, and Cryptids, and Beasts, OH MY!
