Podcast Episode: ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY
Now I know the mysteries of the sea, Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore. -

One of the theories I explore addresses the question: why are these two Munster-Mórrígna found in seasonal *triples* celebrating #imbolc, #Bealtaine, and #Lughnasa, but not #Samhain? And the answer, I think, is that in these guises they represented stages of the Corn: Planting, Ripening, and Harvest.
That leaves one season and one goddess, but we already have a good idea: the last sheaf of the corn was woven and kept respectfully for next year, and called the #Cailleach - the same name as the goddess of Winter.
That seems to put the Mórrígan in the position of being the representation of the "Maturing/Ripening" stage of the Corn. Planting should be done by Bealtaine! Planting is Brighid's business! :)

Good morning. 🧙🧙♂️🧙♀️
30 October 2025
Charlie and I love walking the forests in the morning. Still, we need to stretch farther from the house—perhaps into the winding paths of Kisatchie National Forest, which lies not far from here. All it takes is loading up the truck, slinging the camera over my shoulder, and heading out beneath the pines.
But we must take care.
There are whispers—soft and half-swallowed—passed in churches, cafés, and quiet gatherings. They speak of places deep within Louisiana’s forests and bayous where neither people nor animals dare to tread. No one knows what lies within. Only rumors remain: of black magic, of death, of ritual cannibalism. They say if you come across the signs, do not go further. That is your warning. That is your cue to turn back.
Because there be witches here.
And witches wear no sign.
They look like you and me. You won’t know until it’s too late. They say witches must harvest the souls of innocents to preserve their power and youth. But when innocence grows scarce, any old soul will do. So tread carefully. You do not want to fall under a witch’s spell.
All Hallows’ Eve is upon us on the morrow. Witches celebrate it as Samhain (pronounced SOW-in), the turning of the year. On that night, they pass among us cloaked in shadow and celebration. You will not know if the witch you see is a mortal in costume—or a centuries-old immortal wearing a mask of flesh.
Take care.
“The woods are full of wonders and dangers, both unseen and unimagined.” — J.R.R. Tolkien
“A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest… because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her.” — Terry Pratchett
“Samhain is the threshold to the Season of Death… the cycle of life is once again approaching a renewal.” — Dacha Avelin

The Ghost Church of Lukova, Czechia
Built in 1352, St George Church was abandoned in 1968 after the roof collapsed during a funeral + it was rumored to be haunted. In 2012 local student Jakub Hadrava created an art installation which has attracted tourists + donations giving the church a new lease on life

BEWARE! Out of an abundance of caution, I carefully LOOKED at my spooky season haul of wonderfully dangerous red books only to discover that someone has laced them with refined-sugar logo-emblazoned corporate branding in the shape of innocent children's seasonal treats!
