Voodoo, Impossible Chickens, American Gods: Baron Samedi & Coquecigrue

21 minutes

Haitian loa Baron Samedi and his wife, Maman Brigitte, make an appearance in this episode, just like they did in the tv show American Gods. Sabryna talks about the ridiculous wildfowl, Coquecigrue; making plenty of Harry Potter references along the way. Meanwhile Julianna gets into the intersection of Celtic, Irish, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s folklore.
