Show Notes
As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.
Across fields and centuries, harvest spirits blur the line between blessing and curse. We meet Habernitsa, the noon wraith who punishes scythe-swingers under the blazing sun; the Corn Mother, whose gifts are tangled with poison, sacrifice, and the last sheaf; and Chicomecōātl, the Aztec maize goddess who nourishes—and demands a life in return. A tour of folklore where grain is sacred, the stakes are mortal, and abundance is bought in blood.
