The Folklore of Land Spirits
Folkloring
01/23/24 • 63 min
Welcome to the Folkloring Podcast. This week we tackle the folklore of land spirits. It turns out the idea of land spirits is generally not all that well understood and it is often lumped together or confused with nature spirits and similar divinities. Please join us as we explore the wonderful and rich world of land spirits as we find them all over the world and in many if not all cultures and learn how to form relationships with your own local land spirits.
We hope you enjoy it. If you do, give us a rating and review so other folks like yourself can find us.
