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 the Storywood at dusk, where banshees keen across the Wild Moors and ancient oaks hold centuries of memory, where the wheel of the year is marked with fire and blossom and long tables pulled into the square before anyone has properly woken up.
The Wild Goddess Podcast is where that world lives.
Each episode is an invitation into the older, quieter, more enchanted version of things, through original fairylore stories, Celtic mythology, seasonal folklore, and the kind of storytelling that settles something in you you didn't know was unsettled. The fairy tales here aren't sanitised. The magic isn't neat. It arrives the way it always has - sideways, through the window you left open, smelling of woodsmoke and something you can't quite name.
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 Beltane and Samhain and the slow 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 55 - The Paradox of Creation: Death, Rebirth, and the Launch Cycle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode wasn’t planned — it was born in the middle of labelling wax melts when the emotion of everything finally hit me.
I realised I hadn’t stopped to celebrate bringing this dream to life. Instead, I felt the emotional heaviness of launching — the highs, the tears, the bubbling joy, and the sudden drop that comes after.
In this raw reflection, I talk about:
✨ Why big life events and business launches carry so much emotional weight
✨ The “bubble bursting” moment and the descent that often follows
✨ How the Yew Tree holds the paradox of death and rebirth
✨ Persephone’s reminder that descent is not failure — it’s sacred, necessary, and part of the cycle of becoming
If you’ve ever felt that emotional crash after doing something huge — whether in life or business — this one’s for you.
✨ If you love Mossvale, you can go deeper inside the membership community, home to walking meditations, the Storywood folklore library, and Marmalade's journal entries from the world itself. Find out more
