  • Folklore, Otherworldly beings & Paganism with Icy Sedgwick

    Today, I'm delighted to be joined by Icy Sedgwick, an expert in folklore studies, as we delve into the fascinating subject of "Crossing Realms: Folklore and Contemporary Paganism in Dialogue."




    This captivating conversation explores the rich intersections between folklore and Paganism. What role do ancestral echoes play in shaping modern Pagan practices? How does folklore serve as a bridge between worlds, connecting us to a collective past while informing contemporary spiritual perspectives? Icy Sedgwick offers her insights into these thought-provoking questions and more.




    From the intricate tales that have shaped our understanding of the supernatural to the modern voices reinterpreting these ancient narratives, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the dynamic relationship between folklore and Paganism.




    ABOUT OUR GUEST


    Icy is a folklore blogger and host of the Fabulous Folklore podcast, exploring a range of folklore and mythology, including its appearance in art and film. She's also working on a PhD about haunted house films, examining the ways in which reading cinematic technology, such as sound design, impacts the representation of the haunting. When she tires of research, she writes dark fantasy and Gothic horror fiction.
