  • Episode Forty: HALLOWEEN Psychopomps - Hermes and his dorky lil' sandals
    Oct 31 2024

    PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUSBCRIBE or may your family fail to pay Charon's fee...


    HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FIENDS! Niamh takes us on a tour of Psychompomps, those figures who transport souls to the afterlife. From Anubis in Egypt to Hermes in Greece, to Epona, the Valkyries, Gwyn Ap Nudd and Azrael, every culture has some form of death shepherd. Thanks so much for sticking with us for Season 2 :)

  • Pine Cones: Grim Reaper | Rowan & Pine Shorts
    Oct 25 2024

    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?

  • Episode Thirty-Nine: Zombies & Revenants- zombussy [with Ewan]
    Oct 16 2024
    Please heed the notes at the top of the episode and LIKE/SUBSCRIBE FOR BRAAAINS.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!Ewan's TwitchS O U R C E S:Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica by Zora Neale Hurstonhttps://popular-archaeology.com/article/walking-dead-and-vengeful-spirits/A Sorcerer's Bottle: The Visual Art of Magic in Haiti by Eizabeth MacAlisterhttps://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/31/opinion/a-zombie-is-a-slave-forever.htmlhttps://amywilentz.com/response-to-i-walked-with-a-zombie/Undead (A Zombie Oriented Ontology) -Jeffrey Jerome Cohenhttps://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/16bdrve/comment/jzdneav/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonhttps://sites.nd.edu/manuscript-studies/2018/03/05/zombies-of-the-frozen-north-white-walkers-and-old-norse-revenants/https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/6023The Mythical Creatures Bible: The Definitive Guide to Legendary Beings Volume 14 By Brenda Rosenhttps://www.medieval.eu/grettir-and-glam/https://sagadb.org/grettis_saga.enhttps://www.historytoday.com/hidden-history-deviant-burialshttps://www.medievalists.net/2011/09/medieval-irish-had-their-own-ways-to-stop-the-undead/https://web.archive.org/web/20110612133939/http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/https://www.history.com/topics/folklore/history-of-zombieshttps://mythology.net/mythical-creatures/revenant/Please listen to an episode or two before contacting us for collabs. :)C O N T A C TROWANANDPINEPOD@GMAIL.COMhttps://linktr.ee/rowanandpineAdditional Sounds: Pixabayw: https://podmoth.network/X: @PodMothNetworkIG: @PodMothFeatured Podmoth podcast: Macab At Midnight Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
