The Wild Goddess

Ep 48 - The Unseen Threads: Hidden Work, Enchantment, and the Folklore of the Dream Makers

Kayleigh Priest Season 3 Episode 48

In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, I’m sharing one of the most beautiful Scottish folktales I’ve ever come across — the story of The Dream Makers of Skye.

It’s the tale of an ancient man and woman who dwell in a hidden cave, quietly weaving the dreams of humanity from herbs, milk, and magic. Their work is unseen, yet without them the world would fall apart.

As I retell this story in my own Wild Goddess way, I’ll be diving into what it means for us in our modern lives — the unseen threads we are all weaving every single day. The hidden work. The quiet labours. The emotions and persistence no one else sees, but which shape the very tapestry of who we are becoming.

So often we only celebrate the visible outcome — the launch, the success, the moment of recognition. But the truth? It’s the unseen threads that hold the whole story together.

✨ In this episode, I explore:

  • The folklore of The Dream Makers and their role in shaping our dreams
  • The lessons of the unseen threads in everyday life
  • Why unseen does not mean unworthy
  • How the hidden path always walks hand-in-hand with enchantment
  • An invitation to honour your own unseen labours with love

This episode is a love letter to the quiet magic beneath the surface. A reminder that your unseen threads are weaving something luminous — even if you can’t yet see what’s waiting at the shore.
