Ep 105 - Dagon, Elder Scrolls, Lovecraft and More w/ Gnarles

We are once again joined by our friend @Gnarles _ from _ Apocrypha on Tik Tok to talk about the ancient deity Dagon, or Dagan depending on what city you’re from. Don’t be a Philistine about the original ancient inspirations from the Hebrew bible that leads to dissing on Lovecraft’s personal views and lauding his writing talents while retelling the short story “Dagon”. Once again, we tie Mesopotamian myth to Dungeons & Dragons.

Ep 72 - Orishas: Big Hero 7

We are back from a long hiatus with our first recently recorded episode in a long time! Today, we are talking about the Orishas of the Yoruba religion and tradition, as well as their ties to Santeria and other mythologies and religions in the Americas! We’ll dish the hot goss on the coolest spirits/deities/forces of nature in the Yoruba pantheon. And if you stick around to the end, we share a surprisingly relatable creation myth for anyone who’s ever had a bad boss or employee.
