Acheulean Age – Episode August 2, 2025
"Choose your sacrifice well." - a wise druid ov thee order ov thee low end theory once said to me. Happy Lammas, Loaf Mass, Lughnasadh, Harvest Festival, and all hail thee Wicker Man we've raised above our wee village, buried in the supposedly tranquil rolling hills of Anywhere, Hibernia. On today's programme, we let the sonic wavelengths and musical rituals lead us deep into the ancient past, so far that we appear in a future only just beginning to be imagined to be dreamt in sleeping minds most unaware. Stay a while. Bring a gift from your harvest, be it a sheaf of wheat, a mewling lamb two moons grown, the season's first strawberries, or a lesson learnt and written eternal in the marrow of your warm bones. Enjoy some folklore, folktunes, and folkcrafts, curated by Syf Sloane in her most "High Priestess" aural regalia. Leave a bowl of milk by the backdoor for the Fair Folk, and perhaps that cardigan you've been meaning to mend will be even better than new come the morn, an elbow shimmering as if woven with starlight...
