The 5,000-Year-Old DARK Secret Behind Fairies

Be prepared to never look at fairies the same again. In this deep dive into fairy folklore, we explore the dark origins of fairies, the Aos Sí, changelings, and the ancient pagan gods rebranded by church doctrine as demons.

Discover how fairies were once feared as omens of death, soul-thieves, and powerful beings tied to nature, witchcraft, and the underworld. From the Seelie and Unseelie courts of Scotland to Irish and the sinister truths behind fairy godmothers, this episode exposes the twisted history and folklore they never told you.
