“The Midwife and the Hagstone” 

by

Today’s story is about seeing truly, seeing things others would rather not see. It’s based on a very old story called The Fairy’s Midwife, but it’s a very different take on the premise!

After you listen, why not go outside and see if you can find your own hagstone? Hagstones are also called adderstanes, witch stones, and serpent’s eggs. They are stones that have a naturally occurring hole in them. You can most easily find them in streams or on the beach, because water is very good at wearing holes in things, but anywhere there are stones, you might find a hagstone! And if you look through the hole, who knows what you might see?

“The Child Who Kept Their Promises”

by

Today’s story is about promises…and about gardens! Have you ever made a promise? They’re important! But it’s also important to ask for help when we need it, and that’s what happens in the story.


After you listen, you can make your own garden of promises! We all keep lots of promises every day, some big, some small. What are some of the promises you keep? You can make these paper flowers and write some of the promises on the petals or leaves.

“How the Autumn Came”

by

Today’s story celebrates autumn! It was the autumn equinox last Thursday, which is also called Mabon. So here is a re-imagining of one of the many myths about the seasons, a new way to tell the Greek story of Hades and Persephone.

After you listen, one of the best things about autumn is APPLES. Apples are great for eating and cooking, but did you know you can also make dolls out of them? Here’s how!
