Toke 06 - Sluagh [Slew-ahh]

Toke Lore

On this episode of Toke Lore, Sarah and Kiki challenge the notion of revenants with the Host of the Unforgiven Dead. They’ll delve into history to create a context that traces this creature’s transformation into a terrifying revenant. Debate with us the Gaelic pronunciations on this week’s toke.
