Welcome to the second episode of Season 3. I was pleased to hear listeners enjoyed the new format and so I will be continuing with my nature rambles and ballad explorations for at least this season.
For this episode patrons chose, 'Written In The Stars' and this month I take you on a little stargazing in our local fields, sing a lament to the moon, talk about the folklore found in the night sky and tell the myth of Bellerophon and the Chimera.
So grab yourself a coffee and follow me into the night!
On occasion there are dark folkloric characters explored in this podcast and so, as always, I would recommend that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household.
To 'Rewild Yourself Through Story', join me on patreon for digital zines, a book club, audio stories, previews, earlier extended versions of this podcast and online workshop.
