Ep 49 - The Hedgerow Folk of September Eve: A Modern Faerie Tale

from The Wild Goddess · host Kayleigh Priest

This week’s Folklore Friday is something a little different — a story written by me.Inspired by my love of hedgerows, my fascination with the fae folk, and my heartbreak at seeing litter tangled in the countryside, this tale is both a modern fairytale and a reminder of the magic that still stirs at the edges of our world.✨ Inside this episode:A short original story, The Hedgerow Folk of September Eve, where fairies awaken at dusk to dance, feast, and sing beneath the moon.A reflection on how our ancestors once honoured the fae, the land, and the unseen beings woven into folklore.A closing poem — the original form this tale arrived in — shared as an incantation of remembrance.This is not a retelling of an old myth, but a new story — a piece of modern fae folklore, written to reawaken our connection with the magic of the land and to remind us: the hedgerow folk are still here, still waiting, still watching. ✨ If you love Mossvale, you can go deeper inside the membership community, home to walking meditations, the Storywood folklore library, and Marmalade's journal entries from the world itself.
