The Cryptid Huntress

Ireland's Dragons, St. Patrick's Serpents & the Chrichton Leprechaun


Listen Later

On this episode, Jessica takes a deep dive into Saint Patrick and the claims that he banished serpents from Ireland, despite there being no snakes on the green island to begin with. It has been said that Patrick, standing on a mountaintop (Croagh Patrick), waved his magical staff, uttering some variation of “I banish thee, all venomous and viperous things.”

So, if there were no snakes there, what "venomous and viperous things" did he actually banish? From dragons to reptilian humanoids, to mythology and symbolism, Jessica gets covers every angle with Jane and Geryl of Midwest Night Watchers.
