Ladies of Lore
Ladies of Lore is the podcast dedicated to the fierce, forgotten and fascinating women of mythology and folklore. We unpick, unravel and explore their origins, their stories and explore how they have changed through time to arrive in today's modern world. From vengeful goddesses to cunning tricksters, warrior queens to mystical seers, we dive deep into the legends that shaped cultures - and the women who ruled them.
Whether they've been erased, misunderstood or overshadowed, we're here to set the record straight and bring their stories to life. If you love myth, history and powerful women, this is the podcast for you.

Atabey: The Cosmic Mother of the Caribbean
Atabey, the Taino Mother of creation, once shaped land, sea, and sky. In this episode, we explore her as life-giver and cosmic force—and trace how her image shifted through colonisation, erasure, and survival. From sacred caves to modern memory, we follow the story of a goddess who endures.
