It's Valentine's Day, so it's the perfect time to try out a little love magic!
That's why we invited Dr Icy Sedgwick, author of Bring Me Love: Finding and Keeping Love Using Divination and Folk Magic, to come and chat to us all about love spells, cunning folk and ways to dream about your destined lover.
It's a great chat, involving magical subscription services, cheese-based romantic decision making, and the surprisingly shocking practice of gathering kale to predict the kind of relationship you might have.
Icy is a writer, folklorist and host of the Fabulous Folklore podcast, and Bring Me Love is the latest in a series of great books including Rebel Folklore and Ghostlore.
We're running a giveaway until the end of February to win a copy of the book, so don't forget to enter on social media!
We will speak to you again on Monday, for a new episode all about the history and folklore of Glamorganshire!
The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.
Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...
Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.
With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
