Ooops! I uploaded an old file, this should be correct!! Hello everyone!! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I'm very rusty with podcasting but I hope you will enjoy this episode touching upon the Owlman of Mawnan Smith, Morgawr the Falmouth sea serpent and of course...the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Thank you for your patience!!

Brigid represents the essence of an inner dawn, and the healing that comes from knowing that the best is yet to come. Brigid is the goddess of pre-Christian Ireland. She is associated with the Indo-European dawn goddess and the coming of spring. She is celebrated in a Gaelic festival called Imbolc that takes place half way between the winter and spring solstice. It is said that at the moment between dusk and daybreak, Brigid arose into the sky with
flames like rays of the sun blazing in her hair. There’s a shrine near Kildare in Ireland that is sacred to the druids because it was believed to have been a place where Brigid’s priestesses tended to her eternal flame. This is where they learned the ancient healing practices that are associated with Brigid. And this is where in 480 CE, Saint Brigid built a monastery in honor of the goddess and created a communal and consecrated center for women’s religious life and learning.
Brigid is associated with poetry, and with all things elevated: states of being, high rising flames, lofty dimensions, elevated wisdom. She is said to have created the whistle for calling out from one to another while walking through the night, which lifts the wanderer with its levity and reminds her she’s not alone.
When your soul selects her card:
There’s that moment when you’re making your way through the dark and suddenly (after what feels like days, or months, or even years) a ray of light comes through to you. A lightening happens. Each step isn’t quite as hard to make as the one before. And you feel a great shift begin, as if now you’re headed toward something new. Something even brighter. Brigid is the essence of that first flame, that first ray of light.
Brigid reminds us that the darkness never lasts.Brigid’s eternal flame represents the truth that the light never leaves us and can never be extinguished. It simply gets obscured, or blocked from us. She reminds us that every day is actually filled with light; there are many days (and times in our lives) when we endure thick cloud cover. When that flame that exists within us is blocked by pain or confusion. Brigid is the sweet sound that reaches us in the dark and reminds us that we have never been on this journey alone. Brigid is our sign that the dawn is here because we have made it through the dark winter. We can lift our head. The healing has happened. And now each next day is bound to be brighter.

'Try to tell a knight in gold
(Hard to tell your point of view)
He's to blame
A promise made, a dream of hope
(Know exactly what to do)
It's all the same
In this strange land
This strange land
Set within the other side
(Everything is on my side)
My Lionheart
Death and danger is defied
(Death and danger is defied)
My lover in light
In this strange land
This strange land
In this strange land
In this strange land'

Not sure where to put this...Maybe a new channel for historical women, or writings done by important women?

For now because it happened in the British Isles, posting it here:
Queen Anne Boleyn's last letter to her love, the King:
In what is reputed to be her last letter to Henry, dated 6 May, she wrote, (with a lot of feelings that I would class as bewilderment, worry for the king's wellbeing, trying to recall the love between them, anger at the advisors who caused all this, and wishing for mercy for herself and all others unjustly condemned)

Sir,

Your Grace's displeasure, and my imprisonment are things so strange unto me, as what to write, or what to excuse, I am altogether ignorant.
Whereas you send unto me (willing me to confess a truth, and so obtain your favour) by such an one, whom you know to be my ancient professed enemy.
I no sooner received this message by him, than I rightly conceived your meaning; and if, as you say, confessing a truth indeed may procure my safety, I shall with all willingness and duty perform your demand.

But let not your Grace ever imagine, that your poor wife will ever be brought to acknowledge a fault, where not so much as a thought thereof preceded.
And to speak a truth, never prince had wife more loyal in all duty, and in all true affection, than you have ever found in Anne Boleyn: with which name and place I could willingly have contented myself, if God and your Grace's pleasure had been so pleased.
Neither did I at any time so far forget myself in my exaltation or received Queenship, but that I always looked for such an alteration as I now find; for the ground of my preferment being on no surer foundation than your Grace's fancy, the least alteration I knew was fit and sufficient to draw that fancy to some other object.
You have chosen me, from a low estate, to be your Queen and companion, far beyond my desert or desire.
If then you found me worthy of such honour, good your Grace let not any light fancy, or bad council of mine enemies, withdraw your princely favour from me; neither let that stain, that unworthy stain, of a disloyal heart toward your good grace, ever cast so foul a blot on your most dutiful wife, and the infant-princess your daughter.

Try me, good king, but let me have a lawful trial, and let not my sworn enemies sit as my accusers and judges; yea let me receive an open trial, for my truth shall fear no open flame; then shall you see either my innocence cleared, your suspicion and conscience satisfied, the ignominy and slander of the world stopped, or my guilt openly declared.
So that whatsoever God or you may determine of me, your grace may be freed of an open censure, and mine offense being so lawfully proved, your grace is at liberty, both before God and man, not only to execute worthy punishment on me as an unlawful wife, but to follow your affection, already settled on that party, for whose sake I am now as I am, whose name I could some good while since have pointed unto, your Grace being not ignorant of my suspicion therein.

But if you have already determined of me, and that not only my death, but an infamous slander must bring you the enjoying of your desired happiness; then I desire of God, that he will pardon your great sin therein, and likewise mine enemies, the instruments thereof, and that he will not call you to a strict account of your unprincely and cruel usage of me, at his general judgment-seat, where both you and myself must shortly appear, and in whose judgment I doubt not (whatsoever the world may think of me) mine innocence shall be openly known, and sufficiently cleared.

My last and only request shall be, that myself may only bear the burden of your Grace's displeasure, and that it may not touch the innocent souls of those poor gentlemen, who (as I understand) are likewise in strait imprisonment for my sake
If ever I found favour in your sight, if ever the name of Anne Boleyn hath been pleasing in your ears, then let me obtain this request, and I will so leave to trouble your Grace any further, with mine earnest prayer

s to the Trinity to have your Grace in his good keeping, and to direct you in all your actions.
From my doleful prison in the Tower, this sixth of May;

Your most loyal and ever faithful wife,

Anne Boleyn

not sure why it got broken up there at the end
quite fitting for a "break up" letter
