Folkloring
In the ancient forest of the past, the roots of our family trees intertwine. Deep within the heartwood of our lineages, the stories and folkways of our people slumber, abundant with timeless truths. Folklore, the old key, turns the lock to unveil this ancestral treasure, inviting us to breathe life into the forgotten ways of yore.
"Welcome to 'Folkloring,' the podcast that takes you beyond folklore discussions and invites you to actively engage with practical folklore and magic in your daily life. This isn't your typical podcast; it's a hands-on journey into the realms of ancestral wisdom and enchantment.

Welcome to the Folkloring Podcast. In this episode I welcome author Helen Lundstrom Irwin. Helen is the author of The Lure of Water and Wood, creator of the virtual space The Foremother’s Café and founder of the Virtual Reality Historical Initiative, a brand new initiative inspired by history meeting virtual reality. We discuss Swedish folklore, how folklore fits in to virtual reality social spaces and the importance of normalizing marginalized people in our stories in ways that do not center on their “otherness”. Oh, and naughty tree spirits.
