- Goddess Witches: Artemis, Diana, & Aradia
While Artemis is goddess of the hunt, nature, the moon, and chastity, Diana is also goddess of the hunt, nature, the moon, and chastity. But also fertility and childbirth? So definitely some similarities here. Throw in Aradia, and we have quite the trifecta of goddesses! Join us as we explore how these three deities are connected.

57 min - Goddess Witch: Hekate
In this episode, we're going to be talking about goddess witches, specifically Hekate (or Hecate). Known as a goddess of witchcraft, she is a continuously evolving goddess of transition; a beacon of light and a harbinger of darkness. Today she is known as the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy, but her role was once far greater than it is today.

1 hr - Witches and Feminism
Welcome to Season 2, where we get chatting about witches! It can't come as a surprise that witches and feminism seemingly go hand in hand. Sure, witches come in all shapes and forms, but historically, the majority of accusations in and around witchcraft have been placed on women. What is it about powerful women that gets men shaking in their boots?

57 min - Rumpelstiltskin - What's in a Name?
A dastardly imp spins straw into gold in exchange for a girl's firstborn. And all due to a father's lie? That's some top notch parenting right there! With themes of deception, power, greed, the dangers of hubris and the importance of saying no to really bad deals, it's no wonder this dramatic, bizarre, and dark story has stood the test of time.

59 min - The Little Mermaid - Quest For A Soul
From Atargatis to Ariel, legends and myths surround these mythical creatures in nearly every corner of the globe. Are they sweet and innocent or dark and cunning? What's the difference between mermaids and sirens, anyway? How does the original tale by Hans Christian Anderson differ from the Disney story we all know? Tune in to find out!
P.S. For those who listened and are wondering about the movie title Mel referred to, it's Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948).

50 min - Little Red Riding Hood - Give That Wolf A Banana!
From a young age, we learn that stranger danger is a very real thing. This lesson has been passed down from generation to generation, and very few stories reflect this as well as the cautionary tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Join us as we explore who the wolf represents and what the colour of her cape signifies.

59 min - Snow White, Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho!
We're most familiar with the German version of the tale, but did you know there may be over 400 versions of Snow White? The oldest may actually be from a 12th-century Norse saga! While the saga and the German tale share some similarities (a beautiful girl who dies and a prince who falls in love), the two stories are very different. Let's explore the Grimm Brothers tale and learn a bit more about what their world was like and how it affected their version of the story.

57 min - Cinderella, or, The Little Glass Slipper
Once upon a time, there lived a man named Charles Perrault. He was in the court of King Louis XIV when France was a deeply Catholic country and all fairy tales needed to have moral lessons. Not quite as violent as versions that came before and after, Perrault's Cinderella tells us a lot about human nature and what was expected of people in society at the time. Spoiler: the moral of the story is the value of graciousness.
