430: Finnish folklore: Worn Out

About this episode

The episode explores Finnish folklore through the story of Osmo, a sketch artist, and the creature known as the jurua.

✏️Osmo is a pretty solid sketch artist✏️ He’s not drawing a criminal, though. He’s drawing his sister, whose only crime is stealing the prince’s heart. And also maybe trying to escape the prison of the sea king, but that comes later. 😈 The Creature: The Jurua Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh. Hope you’re wearing the right creeper. --- 🔗 Links: Disclaimer : https://myths.link/430 Membership : https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Source : https://myths.link/osmo YouTube : https://myths.link/youtube 💬 Social Discord : https://myths.link/discord Instagram : https://myths.link/instagram Bluesky : https://myths.link/bluesky --- 📢 Sponsors Home Chef : For a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners 50% off and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!
