Badger's Tales

Folx, its time for another episode and you can curse me all you like but its another Púca/Pooka tale. I cant help looking these creatures, nor do I want to! As always, please enjoy and share.

A well known tale for Storytellers but probably not so well known by casual audiences, its a little gem though. This story of a Tailor and his Wife is perfectly Irish, theres a wit to it and a dark edge that generates an uncomfortable giggle. The kind of feeling you want to share with the right people, told in the right setting or in a hushed tone. You may feel guilty for liking it, but only if you're a good person! As always, please enjoy and share. If you would like to support or give some feedback just check out my Instagram or TikTok (BeardedBadgerStorytelling) for more details.

A Wolf Story, but in terms of Irish stories, not THE Wolf Story, no that is the Beast of Ossary. This tale is in so many ways far better. I'm sitting here uploading this on the night of the March Full Moon ... a perfect time for a dark tale of wickedness and peril! Sometimes its worth digging a little deeper and questioning why we believe the things we do, why looking for the worst in others is often just a way to avoid looking inwards. As always, please enjoy and share. If you would like to support or give some feedback just check out my Instagram or TikTok (BeardedBadgerStorytelling) for more details.

Its time for another story and this time we have an 19th century Irish Folktale classic. The Fairy Dance is the story of a beautiful young lady who literally stumbles across an otherworldly gathering while making her way home one dark night. As always, please enjoy and share.
