Episode 87: Whuppity Stoorie with Dougie Mackay28 Aug 202400:36:11

My guest today is Dougie Mackay. Dougie hails from the Scottish Highlands and draws on his background in nature connection and ancestral skills in his storytelling. He founded the Inverness Storytelling Festival, hosts the Tales for Our Times podcast, recently toured British Columbia and hosts regular events at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh. 

On this episode Dougie tells the Scottish story of Whuppity Stoorie, and afterwards we talk about the story and his work. 

I’m trying a new format, in which we go straight into the story and then talk afterwards, so please let me know if you prefer this.

Episode 86: Lughnasa Special with Danica Boyce05 Aug 202400:56:49

Today’s episode is a joint release with Danica Boyce of Fair Folk Podcast to mark Lughnasa. It’s been a few years since Danica and I last guested on each other’s podcasts, during which time our work has evolved and changed, we’ve started collaborating and Danica has moved to Scotland. 

So it was about time for a catch up. On this episode we take the story of The Coming of Lugh as a starting point for a conversation about accessing Celtic myth, pagan ritual song and the nature of devotional practice amongst other things. 

We also share news of our new offering, The Cave of Dreams. 

You can sign up for the waiting list for The Cave of Dreams here.

Join Danica's substack here, listen to her podcast Fair Folk here and follow her on Instagram here.

Episode 85: Auld Croovie30 Jul 202400:16:28

We're a bit past midsummer but it's such a great story, I couldn't resist!

This is another Celtic story taken from my new book Scottish Myths & Legends Volume II, told by me. It's an old pagan tale of dancing trees which, to me, is an illustration of the overflowing of life and light we experience in Scotland in the middle of summer, when the nights never truly darken. I wonder if the people of Ancient Scotland might have believed that all the trees, not just those in this one glen, danced on midsummer's night. 

My version of the story comes from a version by the influential Traveller singer and storyteller Stanley Robertson. Supposedly Stanley’s family would camp at a Traveller site near Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire when they were working on the flax harvest; Auld Croovie was the name of a tree near the site. In some versions, the trees dance only once every fifty years. The word ‘Croovie’ is from the Gaelic word ‘craobh’ for tree.

Stanley Robertson had a profound influence on many singers and storytellers, including the celebrated singer Sam Lee who was his apprentice. You can listen to some recordings of Stanley on Soundcloud here.

Go out and tell this story to the trees.

This week I'm re-releasing a previous House of Legends episode: the haunting tale from the Isle of Skye which I call Where Music Comes From.

Episode 50: Midnight Matchmaker with Kamini Ramachandran23 Jun 202000:59:54

For our 50th episode (!) we feature one of the world's finest oral storytellers, Kamini Ramachandran. 

Note: There is some background humming noise from a ceiling fan during the story, which was recorded in Singapore, where it's very hot... don't worry, you'll tune it out.

Kamini is a pioneer in the global storytelling movement. She is the creative producer of Storyfest Singapore, founding director of The Storytelling Centre Ltd and a veteran performer who has graced stages from Edinburgh to Sydney. 

I first saw her perform in Edinburgh many years ago and was fortunate enough to be invited to her festival in Singapore last year.

In this interview, we discussed Kamini’s recent projects as well as her experience growing up in the plantations of Malaysia.

Episode 40: Celtic Myths & Legends with Sian Esther Powell18 Feb 202000:40:28

We’re back!

I took a break from the podcast over the last couple as I’ve been grieving a loved one whom I lost recently. I’m glad to be back now, and with a very special guest: Sian Esther Powell, the host of the Celtic Myths & Legends Podcast. Sian and I chat about her podcast and what makes Celtic lore unique before diving into the folklore of Cornwall.

Episode 82: Davey Boy & The Devil with Jess Smith28 Jun 202401:07:14

My guest today is Jess Smith. Jess is a storyteller, author and singer from the Scottish travelling people. She spent much of her childhood living on a bus and travelling around Scotland with her parents and seven sisters, spending evenings around fires listening to the stories carried by the travelling people while the rest of the country was busy forgetting them. 

Listening back to the interview, which we recorded a couple of year ago, I’m struck once again by gratitude that I know and get to talk to people who carry such precious heritage and knowledge as Jess, and to introduce you to her. There are very few people left who can remember this way of life, and even fewer with such a gift for describing it.

You can use the chapter marker if you’d like to skip straight to the story, which starts around 40mins in. But I'd highly recommended listening to Jess describe a way of life which is almost gone from this world.

You can learn more about Jess and find links to buy her books here.

Episode 35: Sources: Norse Mythology with Noah Tetzner of The History of Vikings Podcast24 Dec 201900:38:57

In this episode I interview Noah Tetzner, the host of The History of Vikings Podcast. Noah gives an overview of the Norse cosmology and then we discuss the source texts and different aspects of the subject in more depth. 

Sources episodes are a new feature for House of Legends, in which we delve deeper into mythology and folklore as opposed to hearing stories. Let me know if you'd like to hear more of these.

Episode 34: The Cruel Mother with Danica Boyce of Fair Folk Podcast17 Dec 201901:02:33

In this episode I talk to Danica Boyce, the host of Fair Folk, an outstanding folklore podcast. 

Clarification from Danica: The version of the Cruel Mother that she sings is by Shirley Collins, an English singer; the song is English/Scottish but the lines about the afterlives are from The Maid and the Palmer, a ballad collected from an Irish traveller.
