Echoes from the Loam

Welcome to Echoes from the Loam, where stories breathe, shadows speak, and every tale leaves a mark. 

I'm your Narrator Fauna Blakewell, I'm a mother, a witch and student of all things spooky.

I'Il be exploring global tales of the weird and spooky.

Each episode, we'll hear an original or a tale based on old faithful legends from lore that unearth the strange, the sorrowful, and the slightly twisted, from haunted objects to black dogs and things that go bump in the night.

I've given you the first 3 installments as a gift, a welcome to my realm so to speak.

I will be releasing new episodes weekly on a Tuesday morning UK time.

Imbolc

Tuesday Feb 03, 2026

Tuesday Feb 03, 2026

Imbolc arrives not with thunder, but with a whisper—the soft sigh of thawing earth, the hush of snowmelt beneath the hedgerow. It is the quickening of the year, when life stirs unseen beneath the soil and the first lambs cry out in the cold.

It has simply chosen its next beginning.

Ostara

Tuesday Mar 24, 2026

Tuesday Mar 24, 2026

Today, we’re stepping into a season that pretends to be gentle.
Ostara.
The equinox.
The moment when light and dark stand eye‑to‑eye, neither willing to bow first.
So light your lanterns, snuggle down and if this attuned with you, like share and repost.
It helps small authors like me be seen in the algorithms and is gratefully received.

This story is one that clings to the edges of highways and riverbanks, a shadow perched just beyond the reach of headlights.  
A presence older than the bridges we build and older than the towns that pretend not to see it.
