To close this month-long series on Fabulous Folklore about magical practice and witchcraft in the 21st century, I'm chatting to Mhara Starling, a Welsh witch.

We discuss the difference between the Welsh and English witch trials, the magic present in the Welsh culture, the difficulty encountered by trying to create a "Celtic pantheon" of deities, and the beauty of Nos Calan Gaeaf!
