HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FIENDS! Niamh takes us on a tour of Psychompomps, those figures who transport souls to the afterlife. From Anubis in Egypt to Hermes in Greece, to Epona, the Valkyries, Gwyn Ap Nudd and Azrael, every culture has some form of death shepherd. Thanks so much for sticking with us for Season 2 :)

Special thanks to Tony for the suggestion on Discord!
For thousands of years, different cultures have personified death in various ways, but few figures are as enduring—or as terrifying—as the Grim Reaper. Cloaked - literally in darkness, skeletal and cold, he’s the one who comes for us all, scythe in hand, to reap our souls when our time has come. But how did this eerie image come to be?

Thanks so much to Ewan for stepping in to be the Emily of the episode. We trace the origins of zombies back to Haiti and Ewan runs us through zombies in pop culture, namedropping some best known media. Then Niamh brings us through to modern day substance-afflicted zombies recorded in medical journals. Lets not forget the relationship between zombies and revenants in mythology, how they have shown up in Game of Thrones, and how your ancestors buried their dead to ward against them coming back!

Deep beneath the surface of the earth, in a realm hidden from the eyes of the living, there exists a place where death itself holds court. The air is cold, the ground unyielding, and at the heart of it all, sits a figure with half a face of life, half a face of decay—this is Hel, the queen of Helheim.

Every winter, the desolate shores of Block Island are shrouded in an unnatural gloom, where the spectral glow of a doomed vessel, the Palatine, haunts the eyes of those brave enough to look upon it.....
For Sea-tember and our TENTH Pine Cones, we bring you on a spooky voyage into the world of ghost ships, bot phantasmal and abandoned.

Niamh is deep in Sea-tember right now with a full length Mermaids episode. We go right back to the beginning with Atorgatis, then take a swim across continents with folk tales about Suvannamaccha, Rusalki, the Renvyle Merrow (Murrough) in Ireland, and how a school of scary ladies held up construction in Zimbabwe. Did you know the bacckgound to the Starbucks "siren"?

Emily talks us through her homegirl Baba Yaga! She is a huge inspiration in Emily's art and is the archetype for that Witch of the Woods figure we all know from folk tales, like Hansel & Gretel (and I guess Throne of Glass???). Expect some rabbit-holing about Canada geese... Also some feminist rants to round out the episode because it's us.

In the quiet, misty valleys of northern Europe and beyond, where the wind whispers secrets through the heather and the rugged hills keep ancient tales close to their heart, there existed a peculiar and eerie tradition—the ritual of the sin-eater.
Surprise! Niamh keeps her word for once and does an episode she teased months ago. This was just enough for a short. The Sin Eater in Fargo was a huge inspiration for this one, and given the research out there, he was portrayed perfectly!
Please enjoy while getting ready for bed or over your morning coffee. Don't forget to say hi on socials [especially the accompanying tiktok/reel] and let us know what you thought.

Niamh brings you lovely dotes to Japan for the FINALE of our witchcraft series. It's been a ride, eh? We start out with an overview of Shintoism and the relationship between Oni-Women and folkloric witches like the Yamauba. Then we look at Western wiccan influences and Majo, which probably resulted in your fave lil Japanese delivery broom rider. Then to close out, a look at Japan's answer to the Salem Witch Trials - the persecution of the Yuta in Okinawa.

We have our first special guest! The hilarious Melina joins us to help us learn all about Mexican Witchcraft, AKA Brujeria. In this episode we talk about how the colonisation of Mexico by Catholic invaders forced indigenous beliefs on to the fringes of acceptable society until it became an act of resistance. Today, Brujeria is, for many, a form of reclamation of culture. Many thanks again to Melina for giving us her insight and such a fascinating episode!

Niamh Is back in Europe this episode with a scene-setting of how we went from folk magic and healing to mass execution. We focus on Scotland, England, Ireland and Germany. Lots of justified slamming of weak murderous men and a little tour of the criminal justice system.

The Witchcraft series continues with Witchcraft of the Celtic world! From natural paganism, sacred trees to scruffy druid men and the goddess Brigid (hay gurl). Cursing, folk healing, wise women and fairy mischief have been a huge part of Irish and Manx culture right through Christian influence. We also have tales of a modern Bean Feasa, Biddy Early who was loved and feared in equal measure.. Audio at the beginning is from the RTÉ documentary "Was Biddy Early a Witch or a Fairy?", credit to CR's Video Vaults on YouTube; Fair use, we own nothing.
