The Wild Goddess
There is a gap in the hawthorn hedge, just wide enough for someone who knows how to look properly!
On the other side is Mossvale, an enchanted world where fairy folk move through ancient woodland at dusk and the wheel of the year is marked with fire, blossom and long tables pulled into the square.
The Wild Goddess Podcast is a folklore and re-enchantment podcast, part storytelling, part wisdom teachings, part quiet ritual. Each episode brings you original fairylore, seasonal folklore, my own written stories, nature poetry, guided meditations, and honest teachings on what it actually means to re-enchant your life in the modern world.
This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt the pull of an old forest. Who leaves offerings for things they can't see. Who marks the turning of the year. Who has always suspected the world is far more enchanted than it lets on.
Come find the gap in the hedge.
Welcome to Mossvale.
