In this episode, Shelby shares some of the less "merry" tales of the holiday season. In the treacherous dark season of the year, our pagan ancestors told tales of monsters coming down from the mountains, capturing children who didn't listen to their parents or strayed too far from the fire. From Gryla and her Yule Lads to Krampus, the Mari Lwyd, and her battle of words; the folklore of the holiday season was not just symbolic; it was necessary.

In Episode 28 of the Moon In Carolina Podcast, host Shelby Bundy dives into the oldest historical records of the Underworld and its progression to the Christian "Hell." From Ereshkigal and the Kur in Mesopotamian myth, the Sumerian City of Dust, the Egyptian Duat, and the Greek Underworld, this episode takes a look at how a neutral place for the soul's journey turned into the fiery pit of punishment we have all come to know. (and if you are or were a Christian, probably feared.)
