BTW 63: Sirens, Medusa, and the Beings of the Underworld with Liz Andres
Today we have a special treat for you in our conversation with museum scholar Liz Andres wherein we discuss:
- Liminal Beings, those mythical creatures who dwell between the worlds, of life and death, above and below, in the wilds and in the human realms.
- hybrid creatures, half human half animal, like the Sirens or Medusa, or the randy adventurous Centaurs of yore
- beings that break through binaries - disrupters who destabilize the reality we thought we knew all too well
- magical holders of the mystery traditions
- and embodiments of the unknowable and the beyond.
Sounds delicious, right? Join us!
