Episode 8 – Legends and Lore: Werewolves Across Europe (Part 1 of 3)
In this 3-part mini-series, we dive into the dark and fascinating world of werewolf legends across Europe. From ancient Norse warriors to mysterious Livonian peasants, we explore how the image of the werewolf evolved through history, myth, and even court trials. In this first episode, we start in the forests of Scandinavia with the ulfheðnar — Odin’s feared wolf warriors — and follow the legend all the way to the werewolves of Livonia. Get ready for epic battles, eerie folklore, and surprising stories of werewolves as heroes rather than monsters.#LegendsAndLore #Werewolves #MythologyPodcast #HistoryPodcast #WerewolfLegends
