I'm really sorry about the sound quality on this one, computer updates seem to have messed up my sound card and been trying to fit it but to no avail....

Start of Season 5!
The season will be another season of me finding spooky and gothic horror tales due to time and brain powers not being great atm. I don't want to end the podcast but I also am struggling so stories are easy.
Starting in the episode we have a long one. The classic tale of loneliness, desolation, loss and wilderness, The Wendigo by Alganon Blackwood.
Content warning, language representation of native peoples. Emotional trauma, loss, isolation.

S4E15: Peredur son of Efrawg
The second great Welsh romance from the Mabi and I think the second longest tales. Similar in themes and story to the great Arthurian tale of Perceval and the Holy grail by Chretien de Troyes. Grab yourself a drink and enjoy the tale.

Are we are back with some Japanese tales. Staying with the demon side of things we hear the tale of Mimi-nashi Hoichi who has an encounter with an august assembly and then discuss the demons that appear in the story.
I also talk about some other demons, or spirits - yokai, known as the Hi no Tama. You will hear me cock up some Japanese translations in this and I didn't edit them out cus it's fun that way.
Enjoy the tales

So who is this Lucifer anyway and why are they not in the Bible? I delve into the mythological origins of Lucifer and how they snuck into and out of the bible from their origins as a Greek and maybe Roman god.
Forgive my mispronunciation of Alcyone and Halcyone in this not sure what came over me. I got Halycone correct once and then messed it all up….whoops, it should be “Al-see-yon” and “Hal-see-yon” as far as I am aware.
