Special Episode – Folk Magician’s Notebook – October 2022

Folk tales of talking cats, diabolical cards, enchanted apples, and more!

Summary:
Time for another round of full moons, cards, and so much more! We look at the Blood Moon, talk about a pair of tempting-but-misunderstood cards, talk about the secret magic in the average apple, and hear a story of some very chatty cats.
