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.

Ep 42 - The August In-Between: Lammas, Lugh, and Why You Feel a Bit Weird
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Feeling off lately? A bit tired, emotional, nostalgic—or like you’re craving comfort and quiet after a busy summer?
You’re not broken. You’re in rhythm.
In this rich, soul-led episode, we dive into the emotional complexity of late summer—through the lens of Lammas and Lughnasadh, the first harvest festivals on the Wheel of the Year. We explore the story of Lugh and his foster mother Tailtiu, the dance between grief and gratitude, and why this time of year often stirs a strange mix of pride, reflection, restlessness, and emotional release.
You’ll learn:
- What Lammas and Lughnasadh really mean (myth, history, and heart)
- Why August can feel like a liminal, melancholic, or “wobbly” time
- How to recognise the emotional and energetic signs of the season
- Ways to ground yourself in the landscape, your body, and your truth
- What the Earth is doing right now—and what your soul might be mirroring
This episode is an invitation to slow down, honour what’s grown, gently let go of what’s ready to fall away, and root yourself in the sacred now.
💛 Listen in, exhale with me, and let’s walk the golden in-between—together.
