    Episode 17 - Bridget and the Leprechaun
    Aug 10 2024
    This episode we travel to Ireland to learn about a famous Irish fairy - the Leprechaun. Young Bridget decides it's easier to catch a leprechaun and get his gold than working hard for what you want. But fooling a fairy is not that easy! Leprechauns have existed in Irish mythology for hundreds, maybe thousands of years! Many believe they are descended from the old Irish gods, or are types of Fae or fairy. They can grant wishes. bring you luck and even make you very rich! But catching a Leprechaun is very hard - they are full of trickery and have the power to disappear if you take your eye off them. You can learn more about Leprechauns in this wonderful book HERE.

    Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast with tales from around the world. It is the merry month of MAY! This episode is all about witches, who love to flit through the moonlight on the eve of May day or Bealtaine. (BeeYALtinna) They have a bad reputation, but we think they're misunderstood. This story is about how people can be afraid of those who are different. We hope you like our little song, sung by Agatha, Mildred and Nancy. Here are the words: NOW the moonbeam's dance and play Cares are only made for day Spiral through the milky way Among the endless starlight Hear the music of night’s call sigh of wood and waterfall pebbles tiny, mountains tall in the endless starlight Bless the moon and bless the breeze Beasts of land and birds of trees we are all a part of these We are endless starlight If you would like a shout out, you can email us at emilydragonflytales@gmail.com or get in touch via social media.
