EPISODE 150 - THE DOMOVOY!
As the new year gets closer and closer,I thought it might be a good idea to share a more heart warming story. The story I have for you this week is one about a house spirit known to live in the homes of Slavic people. These spirits are definitely the ones you'd want to have in your house to hold things down and protect you. In the episode we talk about what these spirits want and exactly how they have your back. Enjoy the episode and have a Happy New Year!
