Rowan & Pine: A Feminist Folklore & Mythology Podcast

Episode Forty-Seven: Selkies (collab with It Came From The Maritimes) - weird uncle stories


Listen Later

Sea-Tember returns! This time Niamh calls in Evan & Chelsea from It Came From The Maritimes to help shed some fascinating insight into the Selkie myth; seals who shed their skins to walk (and dance) upon land. We take a trip through Scotland, Ireland and Iceland, navigating people's problematic attraction to seal-folk. We also learn about the liminality of the shore as well as a certified Creepy B*tch, Selkolla.

Check out It Came From The Maritimes here (and tell 'em we sent ya!). Thank you SO much to Evan & Chelsea for providing a Canadian perspective and being such fun first pod guests!
