This week, we step lightly through the waters of Japan, in a cautious search for the famous Kappas. Their odd appearance and even odder eating habits have us concerned, but could there be a friend hidden underneath that turtle shell and fishy skin?

This week, we recite the infernal spell and bring forth the mischievous and maligned imp. While devilish in nature, these little fiends have a playful intelligence that may surprise you!

This week, we shed our preconceived notions like a snake’s skin and learn about Nagas! This race of serpent people appear imposing and hold great power, but we discover that there may be more than meets the eye, as the stories we retell indicate they have benevolent qualities, bordering on divine...

This week, Claire works overtime to help us make two new friends: the Swan Maiden and the Selkie! We learn about the problematic history mankind has had with these majestic underwater friends, as well as what we can do now to give them the respect and dignity they deserve.

This week, we take to the skies in search of a group of authentic American creatures: thunderbirds. We look at many stories of these feathered friends to assess their powers, their pride, and their surprisingly active role in human affairs!

This week, we rummage through derelict coat closets in search of the elusive and mischievous Kasa-Obake. This lonely yet sweet being is fascinating, from the way it looks to the way it comes to inhabit the human world. Join us as we learn more about the Kasa-Obake and the lessons it has to teach about first impressions and taking care of our belongings!

This week, we scour the countryside of Provence in search of the mighty Tarasque. This tragically misunderstood creature has had some bad PR in recent decades, so come in with an open mind as we talk about how the Tarasque’s history, attitude, and even appearance may not be all your D&D Monster Manual has led you to believe.

This week, we wander out into the birch forest and look for Baba Yaga. We learn about her appearance, disposition, and unique home, all while trying to stay out of her oven and off her dinner table. Enjoy this Mother’s Day treat as we try to befriend the Mother of Witches herself!

This week, we crouch down and look under every mushroom to learn more about gnomes. What do they eat? Where do they live? What's up with the pointy red hats? We answer these questions and many more as we start our quest to become friends with every mythical creature we can.
