What if the most dangerous song isn't the one you hear from the waves... but the one your own soul is trying to sing, that you never let play?
Tonight on Dusk and Dreams, I'm a bit wilder and YLDragons is taking the lead. Join me as we plunge into moonlit waters, haunted coastlines, and myths that sing in the dark.
In this episode, we're following the siren’s call far beyond the jagged coasts of ancient Greece to uncover the psychological snare that lured sailors to their doom.
We'll journey around the globe to meet creatures whose mystical songs have haunted folklore for centuries:
The Selkies of Celtic legend, whose haunting songs call them home to the sea.
The Rusalki of Slavic rivers, whose melodies of grief and betrayal lure the unwary.
The Havfrue and Sturmfrau of Norse and Germanic lore, whose voices ride the sound of a storm.
The Engkanto of the Philippines, who hum soft melodies to lure travelers into moonlit groves.
And the Bean Nighe, Pontianak, and El Silbón—the lost voices of the land whose calls are warnings, not invitations.
We'll connect this rich folklore with modern neuroscience, exploring cognitive tricks like the "cocktail party effect" and the surprising role of psychoacoustics that can make us believe we're hearing a voice from beyond the living world. This episode is a journey into the power of sound, the allure of the unknown, and the danger of not listening closely enough to what your own soul is trying to tell you.
🔉 Tonight's Immersive Soundscape: For this perilous journey, you'll be immersed in the sounds of an ancient venture by boat through a storm of time. You'll hear the creak of a ship, the fury of a chilling storm with rain and thunder, and the relentless roar of the waves, all setting a tone of thrilling, primal anticipation.
