They say never let a Black Cat cross your path, but they didn’t say anything about interviewing one! Lay out your milk saucers and light the fires as this Gaelic fairy feline shares folklore from the Highlands. With All Hallow’s Eve creeping closer, Cat Síth gives us the history of her role in Samhain, the origin of Halloween.
Cat Síth (pronounces SH-EE in Gaelic), is a ferocious fairy feline with the powers ranging from cursing farmers's cows (or coos) with dry udders to swallowing and effectively damning human souls as they rise to heaven from their bodies. But is Cat Síth the only culprit behind the Celtic Myths? The Kellas Cat, a cross-breed between the housecat and Scottish Wildcat, is a true cryptid that once only believed to be a myth in the British Isles. The Kellas Cat was found to be a real in 1984.
Brooke Upholzer is our special guest. She is co-host of the self-help podcast, Dear Me, Love Me with Tee Boyich.
