    • Feral Folktales: A Short Tale - The Man Who Sold His Shadow
      Feb 16 2026

      This time, I’m sharing “The Man Who Sold His Shadow,” a European-style folktale about a bargain that looks harmless at first and the quiet trouble that follows it home. When a man trades away his shadow for comfort and ease, the world slowly stops responding to him the way it should. People look past him. Doors hesitate. Even daylight feels uncertain. It’s a story about belonging, recognition, and the parts of yourself that can’t be exchanged without consequence.

      Feral Folktales is where I step aside from the main show and tell a straight folktale—simple, spoken, and exactly as it’s meant to be heard. These bonus episodes are just a little something extra between the full installments of The Feral Folklorist, which is where you’ll find the deeper dives into history, folklore, magic, hauntings, and the stranger corners of human belief.

      A new folktale often appears between the regular podcast releases—just a short story to keep the world of folklore moving.

    • Witching Hours - Magic, Timing, and the Clock
      Feb 9 2026

      Some moments aren’t for action—they’re for waiting. In this episode, we step into the folklore of time itself: the hours we were warned not to touch, the nights we were told to leave well enough alone, and the ways folk magic used clocks, moons, and calendars not for beauty, but for boundaries.

      We trace the old timing rules—why certain work was only done by daylight, why the dark moon was considered too still for movement, and how even the ticking hands on a kitchen clock became signs in folk logic. We’ll look at the structure underneath the superstition: how timing in magical practice wasn’t about fear, but about preventing fallout.

      Then we dig into what happens when you act in the wrong hour anyway. Why a spell done at midnight might not settle. Why conversations started after dark spiral. And how magical timing became a way to protect yourself—not from spirits, but from your own impulse.

      If you’ve ever felt the itch to fix something at 1 a.m., to say too much too late, or to cast a working just because the house was finally quiet—this episode explains why timing matters. Because in folk magic, it’s not just what you do that counts.

      It’s when you do it.

    • Feral Folktales: A Short Tale - The Monkey King Tricks the Demon
      Feb 2 2026

      This time, I’m sharing “The Monkey King Tricks the Demon,” a Chinese folktale-style story about a mountain road gone quiet and the kind of creature that thinks a sealed jar is the same thing as control. The Monkey King walks in looking harmless, lets the demon believe he has him caught, and then turns that belief against him—escaping without being seen and returning to the jar just in time to be “found” again. It’s a story about patience, pride, and what happens when a bully keeps checking the lock and still can’t feel safe.
