In this month's episode of Fabulous Folklore Presents, I'm thrilled to bring you a chat with Morgan Daimler!
Morgan is an independent folklorist who studies and writes about fairies in historic and modern folk belief. She has written a variety of books on the topic, as well as on Irish mythology, and is an amateur translator of old/middle Irish. Morgan has presented papers on fairies in folklore & fiction, fairies, gender, & sexuality, and fairies & witches for various universities and the Folklore Society.
In this chat, we talk about a range of different types of fairies, why fairies remain so popular, and what to do if you ever encounter a fairy!
