Description
In episode 108 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby continue part 2 of their Mythical Creatures Series. In the second installment of this three-part conversation, they consider the Furies and Harpies as personifications of sacred rage. They discuss the Furies as maidens (or monsters) of divine punishment and their relationship with Demeter, Medusa, hounds, and serpents. They also talk about the Harpies, three female death spirits that are part bird, part human. Believed to be angels or psychopomps, the Harpies reveal stories of vultures, ‘plucking,’ prophecy, and the magick of triplicity.Created by Tamed Wild.Production by Julio Montero.Music by Follow the Wind,Taizo AudioSources:Storytime: The Three Sisters of FateThe Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, Barbara WalkerOvid’s Metamorphoses, Book 4Virgil's AeneidMysteries of the Dark Moon, Demetra GeorgeLady of the Beasts: The Goddess and her Sacred Animals, Buffy JohnsonThe Last Unicorn Shoutouts:Small Spells Deck by Tamed WildEpisode 104: Mothers of Monsters & Magick
