RR Podcast E16 P2 Dr. Jenny Butler: Death, the Otherworld & The Good People in Irish Folklore & Contemporary Pagan Worldviews

68 min • 12 november 2021

Part 2 Highlights:

My conversation with Jenny goes in a direction that I had not really anticipated, but was happy to let organically unfold. Jenny begins by talking about the contemporary pagan practices and traditional Irish views about Samhain or Halloween, but from there we talk rather in-depth about the complex relationship between the dead and 'the good people', otherwise known as fairies- whether they like humans or not - and how the ideas about 'the good people' are tied up in Irish culture (that has had a difficult past, especially due to Catholicism), and how new narratives are emerging due to contemporary pagan efforts.
