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 76 - Witches, Superstition & Shropshire Stories with Amy Boucher
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m joined by writer and folklorist Amy Boucher for a fascinating conversation about Shropshire folklore, local history, superstition, witchcraft, and the power of the stories rooted in the land beneath our feet.
We chat about how Amy first fell in love with folklore, the magic and meaning of local legends, and why learning the stories of your own area can help you feel more connected to place, ancestry, and self. From devil lore in Ironbridge to the lives of Shropshire witches, forgotten women, ghost stories, coracle men, death customs, and old superstitions, this episode is packed with rich history, haunting tales, and powerful reflections on why folklore still matters today.
This is such a grounding, inspiring conversation about the human side of folklore, not just the myths and magic, but the people, communities, and lived experiences behind the stories. If you love British folklore, regional history, witchcraft, ancestral connection, and the old ways, you’ll love this one.
