We welcome back our resident ghostie expert Ginger! She is joining us again with some more personal ghost stories, including some Lee encounters (Lee is her resident ghost!)
Join us to chat with her, be a wee bit spooked (Karen and Lucy certainly are!), and try to get to the bottom of what all this ghost stuff is about anyways!

Episode 32: The Goddess of Scotland, Winter Witch & Queen of the Weather: The CAILLEACH.

11/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Before there was Christianity and the Celtic world became dominated by men, Scotland was under the full influence of a most powerful female Goddess who was responsible for the creation of the Celtic World as well as the weather. You may know her only as "The Hag" but the Cailleach is so so much more than that! So buckle up your buskins, strap on your mutch, gather your staff and hammer and delve into the OG Goddess of Scotland!!
Here's the YouTube version of the audio clip Karen played at the beginning of the episode! And scroll down for a hilarious picture of the "mutch" hat Cailleach was known for wearing!
We don't edit the YouTube version so brace yourselves for amateur hour!!!
Apparently the Goddess of Winter sported one of these sexy hats!! So fierce! YOU GO GIRL!

And now you know why we are laughing so hard!!!

We talk about some of the more traditional pagan rituals that took place and you will need to keep listening if you want to find out how your shoe can help you find your true love, and whether he will be tall, short or rich or even DIRTY depending on what piece of kale you pull out of your local kale patch.

Episode 28: The EVIL EYE: SCOTLAND STYLE!

10/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Well friends, we've hit a new low on the 1 Scot 1 Not Podcast! Definitely keep your little ones out of the room while you're watching/listening to this episode. In an unexpected twist we are covering everything from penis necklaces to sexual positions and NOT ON PURPOSE! WE promise!

Karen had no idea what she was going to uncover when researching for this week's episode but uncover she most certainly DID!

Pour yourself more than a little wee dram this week (we suggest a martini with mysterious particulate matter) - but really anything alcoholic will suffice!

And let's go back in time....to a simpler life filled with red thread, dread and a whole bunch of cows. Have cool, old time-y stories filled with ghosts and fairies?


The great article that Karen is reading from (by the adorably named website, "Wee White Hoose" is HERE.
Read more about the ancient Romans and Greeks using penis statues as protection against the Evil Eye HERE.
(photo shown taken from article).

Because no, as hard we as try, we cannot make this stuff up!
​
And upon looking up the definition for "Stoup" as it relates to butter churning in Scotland, I was immediately confronted with this image and the many articles and websites about this particular sexual position!

I DID NOT KNOW THIS SEARCH WOULD TAKE ME HERE!
