Tales of Fae, and Folklore

This episode is about hybrids. No I'm not talking about the car lol. By Hybrids I mean a combination of human and animal like the mermaid or Harpie. I share three hybrid stories in this episode. The Minotaur and the labyrinth, Pan and the Nymph Syrinx, and the deer woman. Enjoy!

This episode is about a few of the more creepier Christmas characters that have been used in many cultures to scare children into behaving. Gryla from Iceland, the Kallikantzaroi from Greece, and the infamous Krampus. 

This is a Halloween special which discusses the folktale of The Headless Horseman, and the legend of sleepy hollow. I also share a few ghost stories. Enjoy! Happy Halloween!

This episode touches on the legend of the Vampire, and the man that Bram Stoker based his Dracula character on. 

This episode tells the stories of the creation of the Celtic people, the Navajo, and the Greeks. 

This episode looks at two folktales that involve the classic witch type figure. Baba Yaga from Slavic folklore, and La Befana from Italian Folklore and tradition. Both are not what they seem. 

This episode is about the Native Legends of the Wendigo and the Thunderbird. They are fascinating and are backed up with eye witness encounters. I apologize for my pronunciation. It was pretty terrible in some parts. The moral of the story is to not go against the rules of morality. Selfishness and greed will lead you down a dark path. Enjoy!

This episode is about deals with the devil and crossroads. We discuss Niccolo Paganini, Faust, and Blues legend Robert Johnson. 

This episode discusses Fairies, Fairy rings, and Fairy hills. We touch on history, rules of dealing with Fairies, Doon Fairy hill in Aberfoyle Scotland and Rev. Robert Kirk and his encounters with the Aos Si.

This is a very popular folktale known all over the world. Some say it is a medical condition related to sleep paralysis, other believe it is a evil entity attacking you while you are most vulnerable.
