Earth Lore: The Underworld

It is a strange thing to think of death as nutritious, that death can make living things into the elemental stuff of life. But as summer’s verdant life begins to succumb to an inevitable end, as death transforms the landscape, the strangeness of that thought recedes, becoming something full of sense and meaning.This is especially true as I walk through a local woodland and beneath my feet are the remains of arboreal death - humus, that dark organic matter that forms in soil when plant and animal matter decays. When leaf litter and animals remains decompose, they break down into their most basic chemical elements…elements that are nutritious to life.This breaking down of living things, particularly as autumn transitions into winter on my Northern island, inspired this episode of Mythos, which will focus on primordial giant stories - myths in which a giant is sacrificed in order to become the building blocks of creation.The first is a Norse Myth, details of which can be found in the Prose and Poetic Eddas. The Prose Edda was written in 13th century Iceland and is considered the fullest and most detailed source of Norse Mythology. Drawing upon a variety of sources, the Prose Edda also references an older source - a collection of poems known as the Poetic Edda.The second story is from the Rigveda, an ancient Indian collection of Vedic Sanskrit Hymns, one of the four sacred Hindu texts known as the vedas.Music:https://www.youtube.com/@ebanisteria.musicalehttps://www.youtube.com/@GeethanjaliClassicalMusichttps://www.youtube.com/@Nordicvibrations7979

Earth Lore: In the Beginning, Part 1

In Baltic folklore, birds are mediators of heaven and earth, between the living and the dead. Their music is heraldic and their song a prophetic chanting. Birds inhabit and embody the dynamic force of space, soaring through the invisible ether of the atmosphere. In this story, we will journey to the thrice-three realm, to the garden of a Baltic King, where, amidst bone white birches and tall meadow grasses, there dwells a bird only accessible to the truly wiseMusic (Youtube)This Fascinating World, Co-Ag Music Siidisulis linnukene' (Silken Feathered Bird), Maarja NuutTraditional kokle music variation 1, Laima Jansone Abandoned 1, Co-Ag MusicMuutuja, Maarja Nuut & Ruum Edge of Silence, Co-Ag Music

S04 Episode 8: Tales from the Amber Sea Part 2 - The Magic Bird

October, in much lore, is a spiritually potent time and the oft stated idea that the veil between worlds is thin at this time holds true in traditional Latvian practice. The living would prepare their homes for a visit from deceased ancestors, with the house cleaned and table laden with food for the occasion. To open this feast, an elder of the home would call the names of all the ancestral dead in living memory, inviting them to eat with the living.In this story, we follow a young man into a Latvian forest, where he follows yet another tradition - retrieving the ancestors from the forest cemetery in a horse drawn cart.

Where two history buffs go far beyond the Freedom Trail to share our favorite stories from the history of Boston, the hub of the universe.


105 years ago this month, Irish President Eamon De Valera embarked on an 18-month tour of the United States, starting with a visit to Boston.  His goals were to raise funds for the Irish Republic, gain international recognition, and garner support for Irish independence from British rule.  De Valera’s visit to Boston included a massive rally at Fenway Park, a speech to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and visits to historical sites.  Despite facing challenges, such as his questionable immigration status and opposition from Yankee-aligned politicians, the tour was a success, laying the groundwork for nearly a century of American support for Irish republicanism before the Good Friday accords finally brought the Troubles to an end.

In this episode, we delve into the historical visit of Irish President Eamon de Valera to the United States, particularly his impactful visit to Boston in 1919. Despite facing challenges with his immigration status, De Valera’s tour aimed to raise funds for the Irish Republic, gain international recognition, and garner support for Irish independence from British rule. His visit to Boston included a massive rally at Fenway Park, a speech to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and visits to historical sites.
De Valera’s appearance in Boston sparked enthusiasm and support from Irish Americans, with thousands flocking to see him speak at Fenway Park. He conveyed gratitude for their support and expressed hope that Ireland would gain recognition as a sovereign state. De Valera emphasized the importance of securing Boston’s support due to its revolutionary history and symbolic significance to the cause of Irish independence.
During his visit, De Valera also visited Cambridge, Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill, paying tribute to historical landmarks significant to both American and Irish revolutionary history. His speech at the Massachusetts House of Representatives highlighted the mandate of the New Republic and addressed misconceptions about the Irish struggle for independence.
Despite De Valera’s efforts to rally support in the United States, the Irish Republic ultimately collapsed, leading to the establishment of the Irish Free State under the 1921 Anglo-Irish treaty. De Valera continued his political career and eventually became the third president of the Republic of Ireland. His visit to the United States laid the groundwork for raising millions of dollars to support the Irish Republic and remains a significant chapter in Irish-American relations.

The Lincoln of Ireland at Fenway Park


On the first anniversary of D-Day, Boston was feeling festive. Yes, there was a somber editorial cartoon in the Globe picturing an allied cemetery in Normandy to remind people of the sacrifices that the nation had made, but Germany had just surrendered, making the sacrifice seem worthwhile. Now, on D+1 (or was it D+366?), the city would turn out to hail a conquering hero, as General George S Patton, Junior set foot on American soil for the first time in two and a half years. His speech in Boston honored the city’s wounded veterans but managed to deeply offend gold star families whose sons, fathers, and brothers had died under Patton’s command. Was this a simple slip of the tongue or a symptom of a deeper and more concerning malady, a closely guarded and dark secret?

Joseph Warren Revere was a Boston boy, but a military career kept him from spending much of his adult life here.  He was the grandson of the famous Paul Revere and named after the secular saint Joseph Warren.  As a young Navy officer on the USS Constitution, he fought slavers and pirates, discovered buried treasure, met a czar, and almost killed a king.  Falling in love with California while serving in the Mexican-American War, he made a small fortune during the Gold Rush, while getting mired in scandal.  By the time he served as a union general in the US Civil War, Revere had fought under the flag of three nations.  He had seen war on four continents, discovered a fifth, and traveled to all of them.  He had dined sumptuously with monarchs and nobles, and broken bread with native peoples around the world.  He was a skilled artist and map maker, and an aggressive combat leader.  None of those accomplishments, however, could save his career from an ignominious end amongst charges of cowardice after the battle of Chancellorsville.

Did you feel an earthquake in Boston on April 5, 2024?  Depending on where you were at the time, you might have felt nothing or you might have noticed a mild tremor.  While we think of Boston earthquakes as a punchline and damaging quakes as a California problem, that hasn’t always been the case.  Imagine an earthquake that comes on with the sound of rolling thunder, one where the ground heaved like waves on an angry sea, throwing people to the ground, opening up fissures in the earth, and triggering a tsunami that affects distant shores.  This was the experience of Boston during the great Cape Ann earthquake of 1755, and the effects of a similar seismic shock in modern Boston could be simply catastrophic.

During the bicentennial celebrations in 1976, Boston bustled with fireworks, concerts, and historical reenactments, while a unique spectacle quietly unfolded at the Old North Church. The iconic lanterns, forever linked to Paul Revere’s midnight ride, were illuminated not by candlelight, but by the distant light of a star some 200 light-years away. This episode explores the technological challenges involved in capturing starlight and converting it into an electrical signal that traveled thousands of miles, as well as the promotional challenges for Hawaiian officials who wanted to feel like part of the bicentennial celebration. Buckle up, as we journey from the volcanic peak of Mauna Kea to the heart of revolutionary Boston, all under the ethereal glow of a distant star.
