about

"I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, pass the wit of man to say what dream it was." Shakespeare, from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

Happy Solstice!

The energy of these turning points doesn't dissipate in a day, after all.
In this episode I havea few Celtic stories about encounters with fairies, to celebrate the solstice and midsummer, and to consider the need for healthy skepticism and making room for magic.

W.B Yeats and the King of the Cats make an appearance too.

"The Celt in all ages of his long history, like the ancient Greek thinkers with whom his ancestors were contemporary, has always been inclined, unlike modern scientists, to seek an explanation for the phenomena of evolutionary life by postulating a noumenal world of causes as the background to a phenomenal world of effects."
---Walter Evans-Wentz, The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries
