Episode 19: Uktena Didn’t Curse Us, Zoom Did

Osh & Sheyahshe

This week we’re slithering into the legend of Uktena, the horned serpent of Cherokee lore with a glowing crystal, a cursed past, and zero chill. This is a powerful tale passed down by our people, filled with transformation, danger, and deep symbolism.

We get into Uktena’s origins, why everyone wants that crystal (bad idea, btw), and how this story still hits today. Also: we recorded over Zoom, so if we sound a little weird… blame the Wi-Fi serpent.
