We dive into the Polynesian legends of the demigod Maui in this week's episode of ADD Storytelling!

However, we have multiple versions of each one from different islands. We hope you like them!

Join Maddie and Tucker on a romp though sub-Saharan Africa with these tales of half-human, half-animal characters. The were-animals (think "werewolf") we talk about are snakes, lions, and hyenas. Three whole stories ended up being about snakes, and they quite excellent! We hope you enjoy them as much as Maddie did.

Join Maddie and Tucker in a feminist exploration of Persephone and Demeter, Greek goddesses of Earth, life, fertility, agriculture, death & rebirth. We explore an alternative, earlier version of the Persephone myth before summarizing the myth that we are familiar with today with Hades. There is evidence of a matrilineal, peaceful, and agricultural society in Crete before the Zeus Olympus-model of Greek myths came into play. Maddie got a lot of feminist joy from this episode, you can too!

Join Maddie and Tucker in a romp through Thailand and medieval China on the topics of delayed and healing poisons! Delayed poisoning happens at a specific time interval or when imbibing certain substances. In medieval & ancient China, physicians used poison to fight illness and other health issues. These poisons were classified by their level of du, or potency. We will also go into gu poisons, which cover things like intentional malice with poison and demons!
