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 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.
