(S5E3) LOST ENGLAND: The forgotten Stories and History (with Past and Curious)

36 Minuten
England is full of history… but so much has been forgotten.


In this video I sit down with Jack from Past and Curious to uncover the stories that have faded from time.


We talk sin eating, the first English fairy story, the pagan texts of the Anglo Saxons... all the way to a fascinating conspiracy Jack may have uncovered related to Gawain and the Green Knight.


It's all here!


* I recommend watching the accompanying video as oppose to just listening, as I have included helpful details and visuals to bring the conversation to life *





BONUS! Werewolves, water bogies, the bloody red caps and more: https://bit.ly/4vUrsRQ

Both William Bottrell and Robert Hunt collected Cornish folklore and made accessible overviews in the 1800s. Without these two folklorists' work, many classic Cornish stories would be lost.


Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall (Bottrell, 1870) and Popular Romances of the West of England (Hunt, 1865) are highly recommended.

(S4E10) ️ WORSHIP THE OLD GODS: Nordic Paganism (with Fiona Aedgar)

29 Minuten
Something different! The show has talked a great deal about deity and ancestral veneration in the past tense, with the aim of understanding it within a historical context. But what about those with a living practice today? How does it work? Here is just one example, looking at Nordic Paganism (other examples likely to come the future!)


So... with the intention to banish some winter blues, enjoy this warming chat with Fiona Aedgar on the old gods and the ancestors.


Who are the old gods? How do we approach them? How does an ancestral practice in general fit into this? What about the ancestors we DON'T want to connect with? And most importantly... What's the point? How can this practice improve our lives?
