Rowan & Pine: A Feminist Folklore & Mythology Podcast

PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUSBCRIBE or your wife might turn tail and run!

Niamh is deep in Sea-tember right now with a full length Mermaids episode. We go right back to the beginning with Atorgatis, then take a swim across continents with folk tales about Suvannamaccha, Rusalki, the Renvyle Merrow (Murrough) in Ireland, and how a school of scary ladies held up construction in Zimbabwe. Did you know the bacckgound to the Starbucks "siren"?

Thanks so much to Ewan for stepping in to be the Emily of the episode. We trace the origins of zombies back to Haiti and Ewan runs us through zombies in pop culture, namedropping some best known media. Then Niamh brings us through to modern day substance-afflicted zombies recorded in medical journals. Lets not forget the relationship between zombies and revenants in mythology, how they have shown up in Game of Thrones, and how your ancestors buried their dead to ward against them coming back!

Every winter, the desolate shores of Block Island are shrouded in an unnatural gloom, where the spectral glow of a doomed vessel, the Palatine, haunts the eyes of those brave enough to look upon it.....

For Sea-tember and our TENTH Pine Cones, we bring you on a spooky voyage into the world of ghost ships, bot phantasmal and abandoned.

Special thanks to Tony for the suggestion on Discord!

For thousands of years, different cultures have personified death in various ways, but few figures are as enduring—or as terrifying—as the Grim Reaper. Cloaked - literally in darkness, skeletal and cold, he’s the one who comes for us all, scythe in hand, to reap our souls when our time has come. But how did this eerie image come to be?
