The 50th episode is out now! It is all about boggarts - shrieking spectres, ghostly geese, inflatable sheep, ineffective graves and much much more.

Come to Boggartdom, meet the feeorin and found out more synonyms for terror than you ever thought you'd need!

Oh and frustratingly, I do not define the term Boggart at any point.

Listen at https://talesofbritainandireland.com/episode-50-boggarts/ or wherever you get podcasts.

And with this episode some announcements - firstly thank you so much to the artists who I commissioned boggart artworks from - they are absolutely wonderful, and as a gift to myself I've now updated the wikipedia Boggart page with the images, so that it now shows a range of more accurate boggarts.

I'll probably do separate posts on each of the images and the stories they show, but here they all are as a group for now.

Those amazing artists are: @jantiff_illustration, @lino_folk_by_fiona, @rhiwynter and This Is Sian Ellis

Secondly thanks so much to all the patrons who have supported me and meant I could do a silly little project like this, that's made me ever so happy. I couldn't have done it without you.

The wikipedia page itself still needs some edit to the words - but at least there are some excellent pictures! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boggart

Secondly: There is no expert discussion section on this episode - this is because for the first time ever I'm going to have an expert discussion section, where I will interview the world's leading Boggart expert - Dr Simon Young (of Boggart and Banshee: A Supernatural Podcast).

That interview will be the next episode - released in the next few weeks, so you can really delve into boggarts and finally find out what they are!

I really hope you enjoy this episode, I am absolutely thrilled to have made it to fifty and it is absolutely the support of everyone who has ever listened, or encouraged me, to do it! Here's to fifty more in another 6 years time!

In our "journey around the sun" (the title of this #painting) we have reached the foot of the year - #wintersolstice. The only way is up! (if you're in the Northern hemisphere.)

I have barely printed this year, due to working towards a digital artwork exhibition! But today I did my first test print of my Satyr. And it looks so good! It’s two Lino plates, which is challenging (for me) to get them to align properly. But they did! I am so stoked! #FolkloreThursday #folkloreart #mythology #satyr #dnd #printmaking #MastoArt

One of the spirits that you will meet in our Society of Rafa #ttrpg are Lantook (More commonly spelled #Lantukh in #Jewish #Folklore). In Society of Rafa, they live in walking homes, distrust humans, and love hand pies.

Sketch by the amazing @[email protected], who is working on our character and environment design. It was the first sketch she made for the game. I'm so excited to finally share it with others!! #ttrpgArt #folkloreArt #MastoArt

Good morning friends, welcome to the late #November #Sunday. It’s cold here and the sky is grey here today, but that is what I want from this time of year.
Sunday gets its name from the goddess #Sigel , the #sun #goddess — #Sunnandæg

Below is my interpretation of the goddess Sigel (or #Sunna or #Sól ) drawn in the early #Medieval style.

I finished her, my Troll Lady wandering through the Troll Forest. I am happy with how she turned out in the end. She was difficult to deal with, she didn't want to be made. #folklore #folkloreart #troll #printmaker #MastoArt
