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 77 - Beltane | A Mossvale Story — The World Tips Into The Light
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's almost Beltane, and Mossvale is absolutely buzzing.
In this episode I'm back with a brand new story from the world of Mossvale, told by Marmalade, fairy of the Storywood, keeper of lists, and chief organiser of the Beltane celebrations. It's three days before the fire festival, and there's a Ball to plan, a Breakfast to coordinate, a Risk Assessment nobody asked for, a flower stall that is absolutely not supposed to be out today, and somewhere in all that glorious chaos, the real magic of what Beltane actually is.
This one is full of the Mossvale characters you love - Colin the Crow and his formal procedure era, Willa Ravenbloom and her flowers (who have opinions), Pip Inksworth and a scheduling crisis involving too many Storywood Bramble Cocktails, Indigo at the Pixie Patisserie, and of course, Salt and Pepper, who have been given a very specific and self-contained job and are doing beautifully with it. Mostly.
Whether you're new to Mossvale or you've been here from the beginning, this is the perfect episode to settle into as the wheel of the year tips toward summer.
Beltane is the great fire festival, the moment the world leans forward into the light, into abundance, into the long warm days ahead. This story is a little love letter to that turning, wrapped in fairy chaos and Storywood magic.
Pour something warm. Find a cosy spot. Let's go to Mossvale.
