S02 Episode 1: Baba Yaga & Crone Kin Mar 10, 2017

Show notes

Variously a mythical wise woman, a witch, a forest spirit or a leader of others in the spirit realm, Baba Yaga’s legacy of lore comes from mixed cultural groups within Eastern Europe and as such a fantastic and horrifying collection of motifs have assembled around the character. Flying through the air in a magical mortar and pestle, she leaves her forest hut which sits astride chicken legs, its keyhole filled with sharp teeth and its land surrounded by a fence of human bones topped with skulls.

S01 Episode 5: Land of the Dead, Part 1 Feb 03, 2017

Show notes

From the stately Windsor forest to Scotland’s mist shrouded lochs and streams; from dark and dank Welsh coal mines to barren sandstone hills in Leicestershire, we will explore stories that embody our troubled relationship with our own physical vulnerability - with winter, unknown spiritual forces, with the strains and dangers of manual labour, with geological forces and -ultimately - with the inevitability of death itself.

S01 Episode 4: Demon Dogs Jan 27, 2017

Show notes

From the tor-covered wilds of Dartmoor to the mist-shrouded Scottish Highlands; from the otherworldly black cells of London’s notorious Newgate Prison to Ireland’s limestone cave entrance to the underworld, in places where the veil is thin between our known world and the fey worlds of spirit and death - there you might hear paws padding along or a heavy bestial breathing from canine nostrils. You might hear the rattling of chains, or perhaps more in the distance, the baying of hounds on the hunt.

S01 Episode 3: Prehistoric Sites Jan 16, 2017

Show notes

From southern England’s chalk ridges to boggy Scottish headlands overlooking deep and mysterious lochs, there are barrows, megaliths and standing stones of great antiquity. Before the Romans, before the Anglo-Saxons, before the Scandinavian or Norman invasions, there were these weird structures: temple like megalithic standing stones, like the well-known Stonehenge, and large grass covered earthen mounds, man-made earthworks with seemingly subterranean magical intent.

S01 Episode 2: Watery Worlds Jan 16, 2017

Show notes

From the deep lochs of Scotland to the murky sylvan ponds of England and then lastly to the other worldly tempestuous coasts of Ireland, these are tales tinged with algae and sea-salt. Experience the dark creatures of the dark depths.

S01 Episode 1: Fey Worlds Jan 16, 2017

Show notes

To discover the fey folk, the true fairy of the lore of old, we will travel from the high moorlands of Northumberland, England’s most northern and most sparsely populated county to the verdant hills and wild crags of southwest Ireland; from Scotland’s Orkney Islands, ridden with neolithic sites and gold-white sandstone cliffs, to a sleepy village in Suffolk - these are stories of fey folk and their fey worlds.
