Folklorist Afsenah Metaluna will guide us in a new exploration each month; with illustrative stories and her own commentary she'll expose to our understanding some facet of the rich and varied folklore of the British Isles.

This month, she will tell us some Selkie stories, from Scottish legend

Last time, Afsaneh told "The Selkie Wife", and explained why she sees this tradition as exemplary of Scottish lore, with its ties to the environment, and its status as a cautionary tales where actions in one realm are mirrored in another. This month she will treat us to more tales of the Selkie folk, and their interactions with humans.
