Ep. 2 - "The Maid on the Shore:" Sirens, Mermaids, and Sinister Water Spirits
In the second episode "Of Song and Bone," we explore ballads about sirens, mermaids, and other seemingly sinister water spirits. What lessons do these ballads offer about the sacred ecology of water, the liminality of sea travel, and the power and anger of women’s voices? Features a recording of "The Maid on the Shore" by the John Renbourne Group. "Of Song and Bone" is a podcast by Fern Maddie exploring ancestral arts and people's history through song, story, and poetry.
