The gals share some time talking about ... well, just about everything that comes into their minds while they're chatting.  We find out about Byron's terrible pain and how she finds a way to deal with it; all the names for seasoned pork fat (otherwise known as fat-back),  that time Alicia wore a crown of....coathangers?!

The Wyrd Mountain Gals Show"The Snowdrops are Blooming"Episode Airs Sunday 2-2-25    7PM  EST
Gather around, we're in for a treat.  Imbolc is here and Byron waxes eloquent about the Bright Goddess of the Gael.   We learn about Byron's favorite "Brigid as a Trickster" story.  *hint* don't listen if you have a delicate stomach!

Keening:  The word keening originates from the Gaelic caoineadh meaning “crying”.  The keening women (mnàthan-tuirim),  paid respects to the deceased and expressed grief on behalf of the bereaved family.~The Keening Wake  (keeningwake.com)
Trigger Warning:  Do not listen if you have a delicate stomach.  There's a gross element to Byron's favorite trickster story.
Thank you for listening and sharing our little podcast.  We appreciate your help spreading the Wyrdness : )

A look back.  A look ahead.   We play a few clips & invite you to guess what the gals are talking about....
Omens, signs, feelings of dread and finally Helene.  
Then on to 2025!
