More Than Myths

It's been a minute since we've had a spooky story, so Hailie tells us about a haunting that happened in the Sallie House located in Kansas (not Kentucky) and all of the absolutely crazy and pretty scary events that happened to the Pickman family in the early 1990's. Then Corrine takes us way back to the beginnings of Greek mythology, laying the foundations of whose who, why Uranus was such a jerk, and just how many hands and heads the Hecatoncheires had.

We're super excited to get into the second part of Corrine's story of the rise and fall of the Titans which gave way to the rise of the Olympians. She tells us about Rhea and a stone shaped like a bean mistaken for a baby, how a young man was raised by a goat, and how the 10 Year War was started. After, Hailie tells us about an encounter with back-flipping aliens at a farm house in Kentucky around 1955. Was it owls? Could it have been an escaped monkey from a traveling circus, or was it actually aliens. You'll have to decide on that one for yourself.

Welcome back to our Norse Corner with Uncle B! We're so excited to have him back for another deep dive into Norse mythology, this time centered around Odin. Uncle B takes us back a little further and starts us off with the Norse creation myth, sharing where the seas, mountains and rocks came from, as well as the stars in the sky. He touches on the World Tree and the role it played in Odin's quest for knowledge, as well as Odin's attempt at a disguise to make it to a well where he has to sacrifice something in exchange for the knowledge he is seeking. There's a whole lot of adventure, and unfortunate circumstances Odin finds himself in as he seeks out knowledge and Uncle B's here to tell us all about a handful of them, as well as a mead that Hailie won't touch, but you can decide for yourself if you'd take a sip.

Thanks Uncle B!

Welcome to Corrine's Birthday Episode! Yay! She asked Hailie to tell her a love story with magic and Hailie brought a story with not just love but with harp playing, honorable battles, sword shards locked in boxes for safe keeping, potions drunk when it shouldn't have been, dragons that don't look like dragons, and of course four really awful barons. Happy Birthday Corrine!
