    ⚔️The plight of the Viking celebrity poet⚔️ Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and none of what you actually say matters all that much...as long as you're famous. 😈 The creature: the cicada It's not a creature at all.

    Japanese folklore: Misconceptions

    🐸Love means never having to say I'm sorry (I poisoned you)"🐸 ...or something like that. This Valentine's Day there are three love stories from Japan. On the first, a man moves on after becoming a widower (kind of), on the second, two frogs fall out of love...with a place, and on the third, the whole world is in love with a geisha. 😈 The Creature: Maikubi (舞首) Three heads that don't so much as dance as they do bite each other and sink ships. --- Links Disclaimer: https://myths.link/402 42 Rubber Chickens: https://myths.link/42rubberchickens 🎧 Connect with us!

    👸 Our princess is in another castle! 👸 Two stories from Ireland where it's unclear who the villain is...and how it might just be among the people we least suspect. 😈 The creature: le cheval Bayard A horse who just wants to make you feel bad about your riding ability...and also destroy your marriage. --- Links Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Studson Studio (Centisteed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ajb3Uva42w Literally a smoked sheep's head.
