1YR. ANNIVERSARY: A BEAR SKIN, FOLK TREASURE, ELDER WITCHES & THE HEREAFTER | Your ONN Host | Philippe

The podcast is one year old! In this anniversary bonus episode we go over some highlights from the past year while reflecting on lessons learned and forecast a list of topics to cover in the following year. Then it's reading time, I relate various texts to themes brought up throughout the 24 episodes of the podcast: regarding hunting & pelts, a 17th-century fable about selling a bear skin; regarding my current interest in the Chesapeake Bay, a brief analysis of treasure folklore and a Virginia pirate legend; regarding herbalism, plant-lore, and witchery, historical uses & magical beliefs surrounding the elder tree; and finally, regarding the podcast's continual presence of ghosts, death, & afterlife, Carl Jung's thoughts & personal experiences of the hereafter.
