The Moon in Carolina

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.)
