Bonfires & Castles is a podcast dedicated to discussing history and ancient wisdom. 
 In this episode, I discuss ways to stay grounded this spring, especially if you are feeling as though the Firehorse is dragging you!

How are you staying grounded this spring and moving forward into the new year (with the Spring being the true new year!)?

Tiffany Apan, the musician and creative spirit known as The Gothic Celt, hosts The Bonfires and Castles Podcast. This is a space for wandering conversations that feel like a long talk by a crackling fire, where the topics drift as naturally as smoke. You’ll hear about the inspirations behind her own Celtic and Gothic music, but the discussions range far beyond that. They delve into the art of travel, especially to those historic and atmospheric places that spark the imagination, and explore various corners of entertainment and storytelling. The mood is one of exploration, whether she’s reflecting solo or bringing in the occasional guest for a different perspective. Each episode is an invitation to step into a world where past and present blur, where creative pursuits are intertwined with the allure of ancient stones and timeless landscapes. It’s a personal and atmospheric podcast that moves from the theoretical to the practical, always with a sense of discovery. Listen for a blend of personal anecdote, artistic insight, and a genuine fascination with the darker, more romantic edges of history and culture, all delivered with a warm and engaging voice.
