Supernatural Spaces 2: Where Spirits, Gods, & Monsters Dwell | Earth Magick | Portals Between Realms

In this episode we investigate on a deeper level the facets of sacred space, beginning with how these special locations were identified in the landscape through ecstatic experience and divination, to how they were used by magical practitioners, and the spirits and other beings which inhabited them, as well as their function as portals to other realms. We hear several stories, from an old folk tales regarding the sacred raths of the fairies, to an ethnographic account of shamans using power centers to control the weather, to an encounter with an ancestral spirit in a sacred cave, in an effort to understand the supernatural agency and power of the land.
