    The Three Ravens Podcast

    Three Ravens is a completely independent English myth and folklore podcast where we share stories, celebrate folk culture, and fall backwards through the hedgerows of history.

    Hosted by real-life couple Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, and mostly recorded at our home in rural Sussex in southern England, Three Ravens is rated 4.8/5 from over 500 reviews and has grown by word of mouth care of our lovely listener community ‘The Conspiracy of Ravens.’

    We release three episodes a week, on Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays, through which we explore folktales, folkways, fairy stories, folk songs, mythology, local heritage, seasonal customs and traditional beliefs.

    Our research inspires our retellings of stories from across history and culture, with episodes standing alone but connected together across over 500 chatty, mostly light-hearted, swear-free installments driven by passion, kindness and curiosity.

    Now ranked as an all-time Top 5 podcast across several categories by Goodpods, charting in the Spotify, Apple and Rephonic UK Fiction Top 10 across 2024, 2025 and 2026, if you’re interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen in… 

    About our Bonus Series 🌙

    From 2023-2026 we released six different Bonus Series covering the following themes:

    • Magic and Medicine – Eleanor’s 26-part exploration of the history of magical belief and folk practice.
    • Three Ravens Bestiary – Martin’s A-Z of mythical creatures, legendary monsters, and things that go bump in the night.
    • Dying Arts – Eleanor’s 13-episode series about endangered and heritage crafts from their earliest origins to their fates since mechanisation.
    • Something Wicked – Martin’s 13-part exploration of historic True Crime stories with folkloric twists.
    • Forgotten Melodies – Eleanor’s 13-episode foray into the history of folk music and song types featuring original recordings and new arrangements by us and our musical collaborators.
    • Magus – Martin’s 13-part series about the magical lives of the most famous witches and wizards in history and their legacies in the magic of the modern day.

    The Lang Fairy Tale Project 🧚

    Launched in 2025 to help us bridge gaps between main series, we began by sharing readings from us of the iconic stories found in the Blue Fairy Book compiled by Andrew Lang.

    From the Red Fairy Book onwards, we have also spent time digging into the stories, their histories and relationships to tale types, and are engaged in an ongoing mission to celebrate the woman truly behind the 12 coloured fairy books – Andrew’s wife Leonora, whose impact on children’s literature and fantasy fiction cannot be understated.

    The Faerie Folk | Local Legends #2: Somerset May 04, 2024
    Show notes

    For the second episode of Local Legends, Martin gathers round the campfire to chat about Somerset and the life of a content creator with enigmatically anonymous internet personality The Faerie Folk.


    In terms of what The Faerie Folk does, well, she has a folklore podcast for one, launched in the pandemic, which is aimed a bit more at younger children and families than Three Ravens. She has an extremely cheerful delivery, and, based on our experience, if you’re ever feeling down in the dumps, one of her episodes is all but guaranteed to cheer you right up.


    Elsewhere, she also releases short documentaries on YouTube on a huge range of topics – from the ghosts of the London Underground to Shakespeare’s cursed bones to, appropriate for this week, an episode all about the fairy king who once ruled Glastonbury Tor. And who knows, maybe he still does. We’re not counting him out.


    Where Faerie Folk is perhaps most busy though is on Instagram. And on Instagram, she posts short form videos, tonnes of photo guides to marvellous places around England, and things like Top 10s and Tops 5s to inspire people to visit and learn more about aspects of history and folklore from around the U.K.


    In short, Faerie Folk is doing the work of her namesakes, sprinkling a bit of magic into the world. During our conversation we talk about all this, Somerset, and more. We hope you enjoy!

    Dragons | Three Ravens Bestiary #8 May 02, 2024
    Show notes

    Strap on your breastplate, pray to your chosen sky god, and bring your sharpest lance, for in this truly epic Bonus Episode we're going on a rip-roaring quest through the twisted history of dragons!


    Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" series, Martin and Eleanor start by chatting through modern ideas of dragons (and Wyverns, Wyrms, and Basilisks) before leaping back in time to discuss the first dragons ever written about, Mušḫuššu and Apep, along with the tales and customs associated with them as found in the earliest cradles of human civilization.


    From there, the scope of the adventure broadens, including trips to China, Japan, India, Ancient Greece and Rome, along the Silk Road, and into Norse mythology.


    Nowhere is safe, be it the deepest, darkest parts of Biblical and Middle Eastern mythology or the brightest lights in French, German and English art and literature.


    Yet, as they cut and thrust their way through Beowulf and The Faerie Queene, tales of Lindworms and questing knights, the works of Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, video games and much more, they wrestle with the questions that really matter.


    Like, what does the mongoose have to do with the history of dragons? And what sort of length should a dragon really be? And what do dragons actually represent when we encounter them in folklore?

    Try not to look the foul beasts in the eye, and ready your shield, for the time has come to tame the most infamous mythical creature of all...

    A storyteller extraordinaire, described by Three Ravens hero Dr Ronald Hutton as “as good as it gets,” Kirsty is the author of several excellent books, including The Anthology of English Folk Tales, Suffolk Ghost Tales, and Ballad Tales: An Anthology of British Ballad Tales Retold. She has also been in the heritage industry for 30 years, dealing with diverse subjects including decorative and fine art, cemeteries, transport, local history and archaeology.

    Crystals | Magic and Medicines #8 Apr 25, 2024
    Show notes

    Open your chakras, cleanse your biomagnetic sheath, and charge your treasures beneath the light of the moon, for in this Bonus Episode Eleanor offers an introduction to the history of crystal magic - while Martin expresses a bit of skepticism...


    Part of the "Magic and Medicines" series, they start by chatting through the earliest recorded uses of crystals in healing, worship, and for apotropaic purposes, which come to us all the way from Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. Next they move onto discussions of Ancient Greek, Roman and Eastern systems of belief, discovering which gems and minerals were thought to offer different powers, including such diverse uses as defense in battle and immunity against hangovers!


    Via a range of shimmering treasures, including the Breastplate of Aaron, the diamond throne of Siddhartha, and a whole range of other glittering carbuncles, they explore how tensions in the early Christian church rubbed against these beliefs and were polished through the Medieval and Renaissance eras into very modern-sounding ideas like "Birth Stones" and "Crystal Healing."


    But when does a necklace become an amulet? Or a ring transform into a talisman? And are so-called 'New Age' concepts utterly divorced from scientific notions like computing, ultrasound scanners, and quantum mechanics?


    The answers might surprise you...

    About Three Ravens 🔮


    Three Ravens is a completely independent English myth and folklore podcast where we share stories, celebrate folk culture, and fall backwards through the hedgerows of history.


    Hosted by real-life couple Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, and mostly recorded at our home in rural Sussex in southern England, Three Ravens is rated 4.8/5 from over 500 reviews and has grown by word of mouth care of our lovely listener community ‘The Conspiracy of Ravens.’


    We release three episodes a week, on Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays, through which we explore folktales, folkways, fairy stories, folk songs, mythology, local heritage, seasonal customs and traditional beliefs.


    Our research inspires our retellings of stories from across history and culture, with episodes standing alone but connected together across over 500 chatty, mostly light-hearted, swear-free installments driven by passion, kindness and curiosity.


    Now ranked as an all-time Top 5 podcast across several categories by Goodpods, charting in the Spotify, Apple and Rephonic UK Fiction Top 10 across 2024, 2025 and 2026, if you’re interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen in…
