The Whole Rabbit Beyond the Headstone: The Secret Symbolism of the Graveyard (part 1)
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here!
In this week’s episode we’re joined by the illustrious RustedThroat, a historian and listener of the show who was kind enough to share with us his passion of unveiling the hidden, often misunderstood meaning of symbols you’re almost guaranteed to see if you pursue a cemetery or graveyard. There is a difference you know. In the free side of the show we discuss the spiritual guardian of the cemetery known as the Grim before launching into Christograms and a number of other Christian and non-Christian symbols your basic book of grave-signs is apt to get wrong. In the extended side of the show we explore a number of ancient myths from the underground and the secret language of flowers. Thank you and enjoy the show!
In this week’s episode we discuss:
Secret of The Cemetery Grim
Headstone vs. Gravestone
Christograms
THEY’RE NOT ANGELS

This episode was written by RustedThroat with some collaboration with Luke Madrid, Heka Astra and Mari Sama who (unless quoting others) were responsible for writing and sourcing the materials they spoke.
