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.
My Vaesen mystery can be found here for only $2!

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.
