The Icon of Saint Anne with De Spoekenkyker
Let’s stumble down Holle’s Well - into the world of German and Germanic Folklore, practices, and magic, as well as other European fairytales and lore! From reading favourite fairytales and going into the meanings of each, to how to practice and (re)connect to the Old World magic. In this episode we are joined by our guest De Spoekenkyker to discuss the folklore of Saint Anne in northern Germany, the possible connections to pre-Christian Paganism, symbolism and more. We ramble on about folklore and the importance of preservation and the issues of misinformation on social media.

On Frau Holle, preserving lore through Fairytales, didacticism and morality
Let’s stumble down Holle’s Well - into the world of German and Germanic Folklore, practices, and magic, as well as other European fairytales and lore! From reading favourite fairytales and going into the meanings of each, to how to practice and (re)connect to the Old World magic.
In this episode we ramble on about Frau Holle, the symbolism that we can find in this and other fairytales, the didactic nature of Grimm fairytales, and the preservation of pagan believes and practices through folklore and fairytales.
