Pine Cones: Fire in Folklore | Rowan & Pine Shorts 🔥
Our relationship with fire has always been one of awe, of need, of respect. It’s a dance we’ve never fully learned, a mystery we’ve never fully solved. Even now, we sit beside campfires and fireplaces, mesmerised by the flickering, ever-shifting light. Something ancient stirs in us, a memory of stories whispered in the dark. In honour of Bealtaine, the fire festival, we delve into the significance of Fire in Folklore🔥🔥🔥S O U R C E S:https://thenestcollective.co.uk/blog/fire-folklorehttp://learnreligions.com/fire-element-folklore-and-legends-2561686https://www.independent.ie/regionals/kerry/lifestyle/origins-of-bealtaine-festival/29218522.htmlhttps://www.wisdomlib.org/concept/matarisvanhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Prometheus-Greek-godC O N T A C Trowanandpinepod@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/rowanandpineWe ask that you listen to an episode or two before contacting us for collaborations. :)Additional Sounds: PixabayPart of @Podmoth Media NetworkCheck out more PodMoth podcasts here: https://podmoth.network/X: @PodMothNetworkIG: @PodMothFeatured Podmoth podcast: Haunted Moonlight Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Episode Forty-Three: Medusa - Snake pubes
Content warning for discussions of sexual violence. This is a heavy one, friends.Niamh explores the monster behind the myth - Medusa. From ancient villain and cautionary tale for wayward women, Medusa has endured and evolved into a symbol of strength and resistance for survivors of sexual violence. We look at the differences between her Greek and Roman origins and what each version of her tells us about how society viewed women and the harms done against them at the time. Tangents take us to discussions of rape culture, victim blaming and how we navigate life after trauma. (with some Noah Wyle fangirling sprinkled in).Thanks to sewwhatifiknit on Tiktok.https://music.apple.com/ie/playlist/rowan/pl.u-jV890dkTDE5YzgW?lsIf this episode affected you, please reach out to sexual violence support groups in your area:IrelandUSUKEUAustraliaCanadaS O U R C E S:The Feminist Companion to Mythology - edited by Carolyne Larringtonhttps://www.worldhistory.org/Medusa/Medusa and the Female Gaze Susan R.
