S4E5: The Oldest Tale
A Faustian tale. Well two actually. I tell the tales of The Smith and The Devil, an old Norwegian tale ( http://viseven.dk/albion/index_htm_files/The%20Smith%20and%20the%20Devil.pdf ) , and The Peasant and The Devil by the Grimms ( https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm189.html ) . I then have a very brief look at smiths in folklore and whether or not it is the oldest European folktale. A short episode with not much of a delve this time as have other things being planned ;)

S4E4: Lilith, plurality, female or male, donkey?
Part 2 of my look into Lilith, here I do more of a delve into the history and roots rather than stories. We look at her becoming a half donkey, a vampire, how there are actually 2 Liliths, no wait there are many, no there are male and female versions....wait what? I don't know, welcome to Lilith!

S4E3: Lilith - The mother of demons part 1
Another 2 part episode. In this first part I tell a few tales from throughout history of the entity known as Lilith, from what some say is the first mention of her in Mesopotamia to 13th century Jewish Kabbalah stories. In part 2 I shall do a dive into the history and translations and mysticism around her, in this episode it is mostly tales.

Something strange happened to my recording, this was not what I recorded! I feel as though someone is in my mind, controlling what I say. My face has gone pale and pallid, as if I am wearing a Mask......All hail the King in Yellow.
