In this episode of the My Slice of Life podcast, we take a bite into the rich and enchanting folklore of the apple tree. From ancient myths and fairy tales to seasonal traditions and symbolism, the humble apple has held a powerful place in stories across cultures. Why is the apple linked with knowledge, temptation, and even immortality? What magical beliefs surround apple trees, especially in Celtic and English folklore? And how can we still see traces of this ancient reverence in the way we view apples today?
Join me as we wander through orchards of legend and discover the curious and magical world of apple tree lore.
