Seli Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Lovely podcast again, no idea why people react badly to the happy way you act upon pronunciation uncertainty. It definitely adds to quality for me. I encountered the mysterious old british small dark people before in fiction, if only I could remember in which works.

Yes that upset me a bit although it was nice to see a lot of people come out and disagree! It’s just how I do things. i really love the idea of ancestral memory and how folklore can be influenced by it and be used as a historical tool to better understand our past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed! I do love siouxsie and the Banshees! Thank you!! Slightly unrelated but so do I!, I did a cover of Arabian Knights a year or so ago, I know Siouxie Sioux is obviously awesome but I have always loved John McGeochs guitar work so much.

Shetland islands...friendly werewolves, mischievous water horses and malignant fairies!!!! Had a listen and loved this!, I didn’t know the UK had much werewolf folklore, I’ve always wondered where the whole rivalry between vampires and werewolves came from, like if there have been examples in old myth or more likely just a thing dreamt up by Hollywood.

I didn’t know either really. I’d love to delve a bit further into werewolf & vampire myths but think that would take me quite a bit away from Celtic so it probably wouldn’t be something for my show...I’d love to do a YouTube series but don’t have a clue about technology lol. Thank you tor listening !! So glad you enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you tor listening !! So glad you enjoyed it What about starting a second podcast series about myths/legends/folklore more generally? I know the general ones are already pretty common but you have your loyal audience already and might attract more listeners too. Plus you are already very knowledgeable about stuff like that, if i recall correctly. Of course, i have no idea if this is actually feasible. I am very aware how busy you are!

I think I just wouldn’t be able to have the time and it’d be expensive to host another one. I’d love to do a YouTube series but im not sure how to connect a decent webcam/camera to my microphone ad not the horrible in built mics they have.

Theda Baratheon Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 https://celticmythspodcast.libsyn.com/drowned-cities-lost-lands Episode 11 is ready! Drowned Cities, Lost Lands and Sunken Kingdoms...here we take a look at some of the myths surrounding water, flooding and cities and kingdoms lost to it. Covering Brittany, Wales and Cornwall and to a lesser extent Scotland and Ireland it is clear that these myths have a trace of folk memory to them, also religious and moral undertones.

I love your podcast and in response to some of your doubts/musings at the end, i think you hit a great balance between academic and accessible. I finish hem feeling i’ve had fun but learned something, and i generally go away and do further reading where i have time. enjoying your musings on ancestral memory too, i find those points fascinating and i think it makes a lot of sense. What you were saying about he petrified forest that is visible at very low tide was interesting too. Can’t wait to hear more! Your patreon idea is pretty good too, fwiw, offering the short episodes to patreons first and then compiling them. Very fair way of approaching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to be as fair as possible to everyone. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the episodes tho that genuinely makes me happy! I definitely want the show to be accessible to everyone but still have a little bit of research going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Theda this is just fascinating. I can tell it's really a labor of love for you, can't wait to listen to all the episodes. From what I've heard I must say your a most talented narrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 @Theda Baratheon i forget, have you read the Warlord Chronicles? It just strikes me as the kind of book you would love for its take on the Arthurian legend, folklore, history of Britain etc. Bringing this directly back to the podcast, what you said about strong similarities between cultures made me realise that the reason so much of what you said seemed familiar was because of the amount of fantasy books i’ve read that draw inspiration from Germanic/European folklore. Its fascinating really how so many cultures can develop such similar stories, and imo it really lends credence to the ancestral memory idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be glad when this MA is over so I can read again for fun lol! And yeah because whilst each place has its own unique spin on things I do love the fact that people in general are more similar than different!

maarsen Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I started to listen to your latest podcast and the bit about the black mask with the spikes caught my attention.

Would be cool to see in a horror movie now really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Just had a lovely chat on The Welsh History Podcast. Not sure when that episode will be uploaded but it’s my 3rs appearance on another show now which is exciting!! Had a good chat about Welsh mythic heroes and Owain Glyndŵr!
