The Tale of the Alkonost, the Bird of Joy (Slavic mythology)

In the dusky twilight of Eastern Europes folklore, the Alkonost with its radiant feathers and soul-stirring song, poses a canvas splashed with humanity’s deepest emotions. As the mythical Bird of Joy weaves through the silent forests and serene seas, each note from its beak pauses the rush of time, allowing the earth itself to bask in the poignant duality of joy and melancholy. Its melody, a gentle echo through the corridors of existence, brings with it both the shimmer of dawn and the shadow of the storm, reflecting lifes inherent contrasts. Let the Alkonosts timeless song envelop our senses, inviting us to find tranquility in its ethereal tune as night falls softly around us.This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
