Secrets of Faerie Witchcraft with Morgan Daimler 

New to this secret garden of a channel. My cup of tea, this is ; and I shall read the leaves that come with it. Duly subscribed 🌝🌚

i feel like i was summoned here

In one version I read, Carterhaugh is actually HER land, promised to her by her father, so she has a motive to check on it. I first heard this ballad (in this lifetime) on Fairport Convention's album, & didn't think much about it until ten or twenty years ago, when I started waking up every October 10 with Tam Lin, "The Bonnie Bunch of Roses Oh," & a varying third tune stuck in my head until Halloween. Every year. I did a Deep Dive. I downloaded Childe & more. It was my FOURTH venture into folk, trad, whatever you call it, the first when I was about nine, the second in the Folk Revival of the Sixties, the third in the late Eighties when I discovered Irish music, and then when Tam Lin started playing on October tenths. I'm currently trying to write a ballad combining John Riley & House Carpenter. We should talk. In the video below I'm the one with all the Face, & in the following one I'm the actual witch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--rrjRw3-9Ok.htmlsi=SLLpn3IIwQtXLNas ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dMPoiDq1eyE.htmlsi=MS1F_xYxM4LnkQn3 (Missouri)

I think I've also heard a version where she is heavily pregnant and rescuing Tam was him being born as her child, who she wraps in her kirtle like a swaddle, which brings in reincarnation and the idea that the fairies are ancestors, and how a death here is a birth in Faerie and vice versa.

freakin amazing
