Slavic folklore: The Devilkin Made Me Do It

Monkey King: The Pride

🐺Inside each of us there are two wolves. They are named 'Shifty' and 'Freaky'.🐺 Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes. But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them? 😈 The Creature: IntuloAn evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die. But only if he has to die, eventually. He does? Ok, then bye, world. --- Links: Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membershipFictional season 6 is out!: https://fictional.fm/subscribeDiscord: https://myths.link/discordInstagram: https://myths.link/instagramBluesky: https://myths.link/blueskyYouTube:https://myths.link/youtube--- 📢 SponsorsMint Mobile: New customers can make the switch today and for a limited time, get unlimited premium wireless for just $15 per month.

134-Grimm: Thirsty

For once, the king is dead and the queen is alive, and she's going to make sure her daughter avoids the dangers that many princesses have to face. Or, she tries.

67A-Gawain: To the Dogs

You probably had to read the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in high school. I know I did, and it's a great story. There are beheadings, green guys, confusing interactions with ladies. It might be one of the most violent non-Die Hard Christmas stories. Anyway, everyone knows that. You probably don't know the story I'll tell today. It's of how Gawain grew into the paragon of virtue he's known as in the legends. It involves, of course, dog parties, inept knights, and the most grotesque piece of neckwear we will ever talk about on this podcast. The creature is a bunch of tiny guys who want to hang out in your room and dance, as long as you're cool with it. Just kidding - they don't care if you're cool with it. --Music: "Quiet Still" "Plaque" "Pick up the Tempo" "Marble Transit" "Chapel Bottom" "Drifting Spade" by Blue Dot Sessions "Flapjacks" "Bumble" "Mutinee" "Springtime" by Podington BearSupport the show: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership

67B-Gawain and the Green Knight: Head On

I wanted to name this episode "it's not easy being green," but it really is. The Green Knight had his head chopped off last episode...but still carried it out of the most uncomfortable Christmas dinner ever. Really, it's not easy being Gawain, who has to go present his neck in payment. Except it really is easy being Gawain. Most of this episode will consist of him sleeping until noon in a fancy castle. But he still has that date with destiny on New Year's Day...and by "destiny" I mean a hairy green gentleman who is really good at pole vaulting. If you disrespect the hobbies of the creatures this week, they will make your life mildly uncomfortable for like an evening. You've been warned. S-- Music: “A Perceptible shift” by Andy G.

1001 Nights: Djinning Up Some Trouble

🧞‍♂️Trying to meet the love of your life? Maybe ask for help from two genies trying to kill each other.🧞‍♂️ Even if you're not trying to meet the love of your life or, like the characters in today's story, actively trying to avoid meeting the love of your life because you really don't want to marry, you still might end up falling for someone anyway. And then maybe dying of a broken heart because that's apparently actually a thing. 😈 The Creature: Ebu GogoThey will take your stuff and your children...and then ask the children how to cook themselves because no one wants to eat raw children, not even hairy monsters with (maybe) dog teeth. --- Links: Disclaimer: https://myths.link/426Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membershipFictional season 6 is out!: https://fictional.fm/subscribeDiscord: https://myths.link/discordInstagram: https://myths.link/instagramBluesky: https://myths.link/blueskyYouTube:https://myths.link/youtubeLong source: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/52564/pg52564-images.html#Page_212--- 📢 SponsorsQuince: Go to https://quince.com/legends for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

French stories: Our Son, Ourson, the Bear

🐻Ourson is a Beary Good Guy🐻Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly).😈 The Creatures: Ga-GoribA monster who does bad by tempting people into murdering...themselves?---Links:📚️ Fictional is back!: https://fictional.fm/subscribe 💬 Discord: https://myths.link/discord 📷️ Instagram: https://myths.link/instagram ✍️ Bluesky: https://myths.link/bluesky 📼 YouTube:https://myths.link/youtube 📖 Source 1: https://myths.link/ourson---📢 SponsorsHome Chef: Home Chef is offering my listeners 50% off and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!

61-Solomon: One Ring

According to folklore, King Solomon had a ring. Given to him by God, it allowed him control demons...but it also had some other powers unknown to Solomon, powers that make it essential for fighting dragons, escaping witches, and taking nice Sunday afternoon flights through the country. The creature is a shaggy, mostly-kind monster who is really great at walking on hillsides and really terrible at helping you hang pictures.Support the show: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership
