The Mythsterhood Podcast and Blog
Welcome to the Mythsterhood blog and podcast!
Join us in Discord
Are you ready to get to know the team behind the Mythsterhood and other Mythsters who are passionate about stories, legends, and myths? Then we welcome you to our Discord server. You can hang out, talk about mythology, and get sneak previews of our episode art.
What’s a Mythster?
The Mythsters are a small group dedicated to uncovering the similarities and differences among mythologies around the world. We enjoy reading about mythological creatures, especially when we find something that repeats in several different cultures. But perhaps the best moments are those when we find a truly unique aspect about an otherwise familiar creature.
What Do we Do?
The Mythsterhood of the Travellings tales explores the various creatures and beings in mythologies around the world, area by area, from East to West. Each sort of creature will be covered separately in podcast and blog episodes across a season.
What is a season? For us, a season will be around 9 months, give or take a couple of weeks. Just long enough for each mythological creature to fully form in your mind and heart.
For our first season, we’re covering all sorts of dragons, from the typical and stereotypical, to the obscure and unknown. We’re also taking a look at the creatures that may be related, in one way or another, from dragons in that area’s mythology and folklore.
Along with our episodes, we’re exploring how these wonderful and awe-inspiring creatures influence and appear in popular culture, sometimes in ways we may not have realised before. Plus short story and book reviews of those featuring or starring dragons, both good and bad, in epic tales to feed your imagination.
And we’re asking you, our Mythsters, to join us in discussing these and many, many more with each episode.
