59 Gifts of the Wyrd: Mist Witches with Gunivortus Goos

Gifts of the Wyrd

After a hiatus, the podcast is back and with me this episode is author Gunivortus Goos to talk about his book The Secrets of the Mist Witches (Witte Wieven).

The book presents the underlying customs and folk knowledge, including many folk tales from past centuries, about the fog creatures mainly from the German-Dutch border area. In the book the dialect term "Witte Wieven" in this (or similar spellings) is often used for these supernatural mist women, who often have their dwellings in small hills or waters. They are also known in German as "Nebelhexen."

We talk a little about these mist-erious beings, but leave the mist-ery for you to find in the book (and stories) itself. You can order the book in German or English from Goos' website, Boudicca's Bard. And while you are there, check out his other books (German, Dutch, and English). Goos and I talked about his books Goddess Holle and Germanic Magic in episode 41.
