  • Freyja: The Goddess Who Wept Gold
    Apr 23 2025

    In this episode, we journey through myth, memory, and modern magic to explore the powerful Norse goddess Freyja. From her ancient origins as a Vanir deity of love, fertility, death, and seiðr, to her medieval demonisation and Enlightenment dismissal, Freyja’s identity has evolved across centuries of cultural transformation. We trace how she was reimagined during the Romantic and nationalist 19th century and how today she rises again—this time as a feminist icon, digital warrior, and muse for video games, music, and literature. Join us as we uncover how Freyja’s story has been told, twisted, and reborn—again and again.

  • Circe: Weaving Her Own Fate
    Apr 16 2025

    This week we will be taking a look at the transformation of one of mythology’s most misunderstood women: Circe. From Homer’s dangerous enchantress to a symbol of female power and self-authorship, we'll trace Circe’s evolution through ancient texts, centuries of retellings, and her feminist reclamation in today’s literature and culture.

Love the Lady Focus

Great podcast. Love this premise of focusing on the ladies throughout folklore and mythology. It’s so important. India’s voice is perfect for telling these stories; she’s mindful of the cultural importance of these stories, some of which haven’t been widely told outside their people of origin. I feel like I’m becoming more in touch with women throughout history, mythology, and across the globe. I’ve recommended the podcast to at least ten people.
