Dark Spirits of December

This week, as we welcome December under a Dark Moon, we dance with The Dark Spirits of December! December's Full Moon is called The Cold Moon, and for good reason. We wait in Darkness as we await the return of the Sun at Yule.

I'm going to read for you an abridged version of Inana's descent to the Under World. And from way up north, we'll talk about Louhi, the Fierce Finnish Goddess of the Arctic.

Then, finally - this time of Dark and Cold has long been populated with mythical beings of all kinds. Goddesses, Gods and Spirits, be they malevolent of not, emerge from the shadows to bless or wreak havoc upon us. We'll take a look at some Mythical Beings with associations to winter Solstice.

I hope you enjoy this week's show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this week's show include Alexian: "Crone Goddess"; Advent Sleep: "Vision in Black"; Machine in the Garden: "Final Form"; Amber Spyglass: "Harmonic Tide"; Autumn Tears: "This, My Melancholic Masquerade" and more.
