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 63 - The Elm That Remembered : A Witches Tale
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Step into a haunting, atmospheric November tale rooted in British folklore, witchcraft history, and the old magic of the land.
In this original Wild Goddess story, we follow the voice of an ancient elm tree, once used as a gallows, as it remembers Aldith, a wise-woman condemned in the cold dark of winter.
This is a story of injustice, transformation, and the enduring spirit of the women the world tried to silence.
A tale woven with tree lore, old charms, and the bone-deep wisdom of the season.
If you love dark folklore, witch stories, ancestral remembrance, mythic storytelling, or the quiet magic of winter’s edge, this episode will speak to your soul.
Content Note:
This fictional tale draws inspiration from historical witch trials and includes references to persecution and execution (nothing graphic).
Light a candle, wrap yourself in something warm, and let the old tree tell its truth.
