EP151 Fairy Gold: Secrets, Curses and the Price of Magical Riches | Y Tylwyth Teg | Welsh Haunted History | Paranormal Legends | Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees
Manage episode 461358293 series 2783478
In this episode, we dive into enchanting tales of the mysterious wealth bestowed by the fairy folk—fortunes that could disappear in a puff of smoke if their origin is revealed.
What makes fairy gold so coveted yet so dangerous? From Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale to the chilling accounts of Welsh folklore, we uncover stories where magical riches come with strings attached—where silence is golden, but one slip could turn a treasure trove into worthless paper.
Why did a farmer’s son vanish for two years, only to return with fairy-made clothes that crumbled to nothing? And what dark fate awaited those who dared to reveal their fairy gifts?
Explore the eerie connections between secrecy, luck, and loss in these spellbinding tales of fairy generosity—and betrayal. Could the fairy folk’s rules still hold sway today? Listen in to uncover the strange and mischievous truth about the price of magical riches.
Will you be tempted to break their cardinal rule?
Explore the lore... if you dare!

WHAT IS THE GHOSTS AND FOLKLORE OF WALES PODCAST WITH MARK REES?
The Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast explores the eerie world of Welsh ghosts, ghost stories, lore, myths, and legends.
Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales, Paranormal Wales) in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast delves into the country's countless curious subjects, blending decades of research from books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes.
From "real-life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded monthly and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons, with the odd wicked — and not-so-wicked — witch along the way.
Alongside the regular stories, you can expect the occasional special guest, live ghost hunts, and all sorts of quirky surprises from a Welsh storyteller with original ideas. Seasonal specials include dark folklore and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions, plus everyone's favourite skull-headed Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd.
Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and cascading waterfalls to bustling cities and remote farms, journey through the paranormal and unexplained in all corners of Cymru. Think of it as unlocking the Welsh X-Files with some tenuous Ghostbusters references and terrible sound effects along the way!
