On this week's episode we're headed back to Shropshire in North West England, and Eleanor is telling a Devil tale with a twist...
We start off chatting about St Killian, about whom Martin is decidedly unimpressed, after which we sidle on into Shropshire!
In addition to talking about the Wrekin, A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad, and the morbid nature of some of Shropshire's folk magic, we get the pastry out once again for this week's County Dish, Fidget Pie!
After some folkloric chat about topics including Fulk Fitzwarin, Mitchell's Fold stone circle, and the witch Nanny Morgan, plus some excerpts from this week's devilishly good Local Legends interview with Shropshire native Haunted magazine's Amy Boucher, author of the outstanding Nearly Knowledgeable blog, it's on to the main event: Eleanor's story "A Game of Cards."
Speak to you again on Thursday for our last Something Wicked bonus episode for the series, all about H.H. Holmes and, if you're a Patreon supporter, our Patreon Exclusive for July about England's Atlantis, the lost city of Dunwich!
The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.
Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...
Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.
With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
