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.

Step with me into the old magic of winter.
In this special episode, we wander from November into December through a folklore-infused charm-walk filled with robins, hobgoblins, mistletoe, the Holly King, and the ancient Cailleach herself.
This isn’t a story, it’s an immersive winter enchantment, a pocket spell woven with old lore, atmospheric imagery, and gentle seasonal wisdom.
Together, we'll find:
✨ The robin’s blessing
✨ The Holly King in deep winter
✨ Hobgoblin mischief and hearth magic
✨ The ancient protective lore of winter mistletoe
✨ The quiet welcome of the Cailleach’s winter cottage
✨ A sense of slowing, softening, and embracing the wintering season
This episode is perfect for anyone craving:
• cosy festive magic
• winter spirituality
• Celtic and British folklore
• gentle seasonal rituals
• a grounding December meditation
• a moment of calm and wonder at the turning of the wheel
Curl up somewhere warm, light a candle if you wish, and let this spell invite you gently into December’s softer, deeper magic.
