Mythillogical

Cassie resurfaces in Scotland, to investigate another loch monster, the Morag of Loch Morar. Although Nessie may have hogged the limelight, we find tales of Morag all the way back to the 19th century, from a harbinger of death for the MacDonnell clan, to a reptilian beast attacking local sailors. Folklore and Superstition is now on youtube! Check out our first episode here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2aTsCL0NpY

Today, join Cassie in the historic English city of Lincoln, to hear the folk tales surrounding a gargoyle at Lincoln's famous cathedral, said to be the Devil turned to stone and trapped within the church.

Join Cassie as she tells you a ghost story from Cornwall, in South West England, of an unscrupulous lawyer summoned from beyond the grave to testify in court, whose spirit remains trapped on Earth, eternally trying to evade the clutches of the Devil.

Today, Cassie brings you to the Isle of Man, a small island in the Irish sea, to tell the tale of a fairy cursed and exiled from the fairy realm, who becomes a hard working helper to the farmers of the isle.

There’s a full moon on the rise, and so Charles and Cassie have bolted the doors, stocked up on silver bullets, and armed themselves with any knowledge on Werewolves they can find. Going all the way back to the Paleolithic, they search for signs of wolf men hiding among cave people, Proto-Indo Europeans, Ancient Greeks and Romans, the Norse, and the Medieval Irish, before investigating the infamous Wolf Trials from the 15th century onwards. https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://bsky.app/profile/thehistocrat.bsky.social Mythillogical logo + Thumbnail art by Ettore Mazza.

Returning for another mini episode, this time Cassie brings you to Ireland, to hear the tale of the four children of the Irish god Lir, turned into swans by a stepmother jealous of their father's love for them.

In the first of Cassie's solo spin-off, she takes you on a journey to North Wales, to hear the story of how a young Merlin founded his fortress, and the treasure he left behind, waiting for his heir to discover it.

Heroes arise to battle! Today, Charles the Victorious and Cassie the Nightmare Queen discover the exploits of Cú Chulainn, Ireland’s greatest warrior.
