Grab a cuppa something warm and snuggle in. Amanda & Luna have some winter witchery to talk to you about. Amanda tells us some haphazard folklore about house spirits and her favourite Hag - the one and old Baba Yaga. Luna tells us of a wintery cryptid and weaves a Winter Solstice tale full of wonderment with a touch of melancholy - ti’s the season after all. 

We hope you enjoy this Yuletide special and wish you and yours all the merriment you can handle. And large swaths of happiness within a peaceful existence.
