It's almost Beltane, and Mossvale is absolutely buzzing.

In this episode I'm back with a brand new story from the world of Mossvale, told by Marmalade, fairy of the Storywood, keeper of lists, and chief organiser of the Beltane celebrations. It's three days before the fire festival, and there's a Ball to plan, a Breakfast to coordinate, a Risk Assessment nobody asked for, a flower stall that is absolutely not supposed to be out today, and somewhere in all that glorious chaos, the real magic of what Beltane actually is.

This one is full of the Mossvale characters you love - Colin the Crow and his formal procedure era, Willa Ravenbloom and her flowers (who have opinions), Pip Inksworth and a scheduling crisis involving too many Storywood Bramble Cocktails, Indigo at the Pixie Patisserie, and of course, Salt and Pepper, who have been given a very specific and self-contained job and are doing beautifully with it. Mostly.

Whether you're new to Mossvale or you've been here from the beginning, this is the perfect episode to settle into as the wheel of the year tips toward summer.

Beltane is the great fire festival, the moment the world leans forward into the light, into abundance, into the long warm days ahead. This story is a little love letter to that turning, wrapped in fairy chaos and Storywood magic.

Pour something warm. Find a cosy spot. Let's go to Mossvale.

In this episode, I’m joined by writer and folklorist Amy Boucher for a fascinating conversation about Shropshire folklore, local history, superstition, witchcraft, and the power of the stories rooted in the land beneath our feet.

We chat about how Amy first fell in love with folklore, the magic and meaning of local legends, and why learning the stories of your own area can help you feel more connected to place, ancestry, and self. From devil lore in Ironbridge to the lives of Shropshire witches, forgotten women, ghost stories, coracle men, death customs, and old superstitions, this episode is packed with rich history, haunting tales, and powerful reflections on why folklore still matters today.

This is such a grounding, inspiring conversation about the human side of folklore, not just the myths and magic, but the people, communities, and lived experiences behind the stories. If you love British folklore, regional history, witchcraft, ancestral connection, and the old ways, you’ll love this one.

There comes a moment on any creative path where something begins to stir
A little idea. A pull. A world, a vision, a way of being that doesn’t quite make logical sense, but won’t leave you alone.

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the story behind Mossvale, how it came to life, why creating it felt vulnerable, and what it really takes to follow something you can’t fully explain (yet).

We explore self-belief beyond the clichés, the kind that asks you to trust yourself before you have proof, to honour your creative instincts, and to embrace the parts of you that feel a little different, maybe a little strange or a little “too much.”

Because often, those are the very things you’re here to bring into the world.

This episode is a reminder that:
✨ You don’t need the full vision to begin
✨ You are allowed to create what calls to you
✨ Your uniqueness is not something to hide, it’s your magic

Alongside this, I’ll take you into Mossvale with a gentle, folklore-inspired story of Star and The Weeping Well. A tale of courage, creativity, and choosing your truth even when it isn’t understood.

So if you’ve been doubting yourself, holding back, or questioning whether your ideas are “too weird”, this one is for you.

As March arrives and the land begins to stir from winter’s sleep, folklore tells us that the Fae Folk begin to wake.

In this short story episode of the Wild Goddess Podcast, we wander to a real place in Somerset known as Goblin Combe, a woodland valley steeped in old fairy lore and curious tales of the hidden folk.

When a group of children venture into the woods in search of primroses one bright spring morning, one small girl stumbles upon something far more mysterious than flowers… a secret doorway, a line of strange little visitors, and a gift that sets the whole village whispering.

But as with many old fairy tales, not everyone who seeks the magic of the Fae receives the same welcome.

Step into this March folk tale of primroses, fairy gold and the hidden world beneath the hills of Goblin Combe.

✨ Perfect for lovers of folklore, fae legends, seasonal storytelling and a little everyday enchantment.

In a world that constantly encourages us to improve, optimise, and become “better,” I’ve found myself asking a quieter question lately…
What if the real path isn’t self-development, but self-nurturing?

In this episode, I’m exploring the gentle but powerful difference between self-development and self-nurturing through the lens of myth, folklore, seasonal living, earth-based rituals, and goddess connection.

I share my own journey, from consuming traditional self-growth content to finding a deeper sense of understanding through story, land, and ancient wisdom. Because somewhere along the way, I stopped asking “how do I fix myself?” and started asking “how do I tend to myself?”

We also talk about nuance, something I feel is deeply missing in modern conversations about growth.
The truth is, we are complex beings.
We can want to be kind and still make mistakes.
We can grow without demanding perfection from ourselves or others.

Through myth and folklore, I’ve come to see that even the gods were layered and flawed!

Story reminds us that contradiction is human, and that growth is rarely simple or linear.

This episode is a soft, reflective exploration of:
self-nurturing vs self-development, human nuance, mythology as a mirror, seasonal living, and learning to see ourselves with more compassion.

Not as problems to be fixed.
But as stories still unfolding.
