A new free newsletter devoted to Irish folklore has been released, headlined by a piece on "Ireland's Last Witch". It also covers instructions attributed to a County Clare man for using a powder to reanimate the dead, advice on swapping Tinder for mash and cabbage, and the story of a Samhain turnip that isn't a turnip. The release arrives just ahead of Halloween, when interest in Samhain traditions peaks.
