Miss Emily is BACK for our Halloween 2025 episode! Spooktober concludes with Niamh's guided tour of the Afterlife. We look at some comforting imaginings, such as the Egyptian Field of Reeds and the Celtic Tír na nÓg, cut right through Norse Hel and the Greek Underworld to arrive at the ICONIC self-insert fanfiction that is The Divine Comedy and specifically (as you probably know it) Dante's Inferno.. This is a tangenty one, don't say we didn't warn ya.

Hidden beneath the living world, beyond the reach of sunlight, lies the sunless kingdom of Hades and Persephone — the Greek Underworld.

It’s not a place of fire and brimstone, but of chill stillness, memory, and silence. The Greeks imagined it as the mirror opposite of life and its inverse state.

“Yesterday, upon the stair,

I met a man who wasn’t there!

He wasn’t there again today,

Oh, how I wish he’d go away!” - Antigonish by William Hughes Mearns

You’ve probably heard these lines before - whispered in a film, included in a book of ghost poems, or even whispered as harmless childhood nonsense..

But there’s something about them - something sticky.

Sixteen lines, no real story, and yet it clings.

Because it names something we all know, but rarely say aloud:

the feeling of not being alone when you should be.

Her right hand traces the fjord in her thigh

She counts the things she is afraid of:

Nothing,

Her own fingers—

Ringed seals

Trapped in the freezing sea.

Sedna by Allyson Young

The legend of Sedna flows through the icy waters of the Arctic, told and retold in many places, bending to each culture. But no matter the version, one thing remains the same: Sedna is the mother of all sea creatures, and as goddess of the deep she decides when the seals, the whales, the walrus, and the fish will rise to meet the hunters of the North.

“Twilight arrives on an Orkney shore. In the space between land and sea, the Finfolk are said to slip silently from their hidden kingdom, seeking humans to drag below the waves.”

The Finfolk are a race unique to Orkney and Shetland, creatures of contradiction much like the islands themselves: part sea, part land, both wild and ordered. Amphibious and powerful, they can step from waves onto shore as they choose, living comfortably between two worlds. .Unlike the mermaids we might picture, Finfolk are fully humanoid - men and women alike -though their daughters sometimes appear with mermaid tails. Their bodies are draped with fins that fall like clothing, making it difficult to tell them from land-dwellers at a distance. Up close, the fins reveal their otherworldly nature. They are strong, athletic, and extraordinary sailors, able to cross the tempestuous North Sea in mere strokes of an oar...

Sea-Tember returns! This time Niamh calls in Evan & Chelsea from It Came From The Maritimes to help shed some fascinating insight into the Selkie myth; seals who shed their skins to walk (and dance) upon land. We take a trip through Scotland, Ireland and Iceland, navigating people's problematic attraction to seal-folk. We also learn about the liminality of the shore as well as a certified Creepy B*tch, Selkolla.

Check out It Came From The Maritimes here (and tell 'em we sent ya!). Thank you SO much to Evan & Chelsea for providing a Canadian perspective and being such fun first pod guests!

The year is 1607.

A child has gone missing from a small English parish. Some whisper he has fallen in the river. Others say he’s been taken. There are no police to search, no telegraph to spread the alarm, no TV bulletin to circulate a picture. His family has nothing but their grief — and their faith.

So they do what countless others did in those years: they carry their question to an astrologer.

We explore the lives and fortunes of John Forman, William Lilly, Nostradamus and Evangeline Evans - controversial figures who made their names as beiing astrological authorities garnering massive followings. But there is a reason that forensic astrology is seen as pseudoscience to our modern eyes...

Corpse roads, also known as coffin roads, lych ways, bier ways, or burial paths, were historic routes used to carry the dead from rural homesteads to churches with burial rights. Born of necessity in remote parts of medieval Europe, these sombre trails wove through moor and woodland, over streams and stiles, the last journey of the dead.

Niamh is carrying the torch without Emily for the foreseeable and of course that means a Ewan episode! We take a hard look at the Final Girl trope - that horror genre staple that sees the underestimated, underskilled, underappreciated female protagonist left standing alone, covered in blood and forever changed at the end of the story. As with all stories, there is a mythical origin - specifically the Mespotamian goddess Inanna, AKA Ishtar: goddess of love and war, patroness of sexworkers, scorned woman and feminine icon. We contrast Inanna with her modern counterparts: Ripley (Alien), Sidney (Scream), and Sarah (The Descent) - full spoilers for all those movies herein!

Featured Podmoth podcast:Saturdays Are For The Ghouls

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There’s something unsettling about a sealed room, especially one hidden inside a home. In 1976, a phone call to the National Museum of Ireland reported the discovery of a “cave” during construction work outside Wicklow Town. Dr Joseph Raftery, Keeper of Irish Antiquities, sent young archaeologist Eamonn Kelly t to investigate, on what would turn out to be his first ever fieldwork assignment. The report was misleading: it wasn’t a cave, or even a souterrain, but a sealed-up brick oven connected to a fireplace in Coolbeg House. The structure had been blocked off in the early twentieth century.

Inside that bricked-up oven was a strange and silent cache.

Emily ventures into the deep dark woods this week with an analysis of Little Red Riding Hood. From victim-blamey perv tale to reclamation of feminine power, we have all grown up with the visual of an oblivious little girl being preyed upon by fearsome predators. Tangents include some Colin Farrell fawning, why Christina Ricci is our girl crush, and the nightmare that is deepfakes. Discussions of rape culture and sexual assault on film, because it's us...

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
