Join me this episode for tales of death, ghosts, and necromancy just in time to get into the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve. We will travel from ancient Greece to the Pacific Northwest, then on to Scotland and Ireland, a haunted house in Athens, and, lastly, we will travel to Israel to hear a tale of necromancy from the Old Testament.
Main Characters: Orpheus, Eurydice, Hades, Persephone, Coyote, Eagle, Tam Lin, Saul, Samuel, The Witch of Endor

As always wonderful. I download these and listen to them over and over at work and commuting. Thank you for taking the time you put into research. The music is wonderful too. I have been exposed to some artists that I appreciate now.

Comment by Eric Jeffords January 26, 2011 @ 2:16 pmI am searching for more information on “The Wondering Host” you spoke of. Any suggestions?
Comment by Jeff Underwood September 27, 2011 @ 7:21 amTry researching the Wild Hunt and you’ll get a ton of information. Start with the internet, but make a trip to the library as well.
