About this episode
This episode features stories of creatures and spirits associated with the liminal time of Yule, including a tale of the Snow Queen.
This time of year is said to be a liminal time and so this episode brings you stories of creatures and spirits who flit between worlds, as well as a non Scottish story of the Snow Queen, a story I always love for this time of year.
