Hello, and welcome to the Heart of Hades podcast. I’m your host, Jamie Waggoner. I’m a modern-day priestess, author, and folk witch living in the Deep South.

Recorded live from the Underworld, this podcast is all about myth, mystery, and magic… and of course, often features my favorite deity from Greek mythology, Hades. We cover topics such as death and dying, folk magic, mythology, ancient history, ghosts and hauntings, Chthonic gods, cemetery lore, modern devotional practices and much more.

So step inside friends… you’ll find some good company and interesting conversation in these shadowy halls. Be careful not to drink from the River of Forgetting, and only eat the pomegranate at your own risk. Hail Hades!

Background music is "Emotional Landscape" by Simon Bellefleur.
