| 8/31/26 | Eps.83: Sacred Groves | The sacred grove — a patch of forest set apart by custom and belief — appears in nearly every culture that has ever lived beside trees. Join host Shelby Bundy as she discusses what made a grove holy in Celtic, Indian, and Greco-Roman traditions, how those spaces functioned as sites of ritual and protection, and what happened to the reverence when the groves were cleared. 🖤 You can find Shelby at www.shelbybundy.com 📚 Shop my Booklist: The Moon in Carolina at BookShop.org ✨ Cours... | 22m 46s | ||||||
| 8/10/26 | Eps. 82: Summer Storytime-The Fires | In this between-episodes offering of The Moon in Carolina, host (and occasional storyteller) Shelby Bundy shares a short story she wrote in the depths of a past winter. The Fires is inspired by the old manor she lives in and the ghosts she lives with — written as part of her Literature and Creative Writing Master's program at Harvard, and shared here for the first time. Settle in for a little story about an old house in Appalachia. 🖤 You can find Shelby at www.shelbybundy.com 📚 ... | 15m 02s | ||||||
| 8/3/26 | Eps. 81: The Folklore of Fireflies | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores what people across thousands of years and dozens of cultures have believed about fireflies — and finds the same belief arriving, independently, again and again: that small lights moving through the dark are the souls of the dead, keeping close. From the Japanese hotaru poems of the 8th-century Man'yoshu to the Cherokee tradition connecting fireflies to sacred fire and intentional guidance, and into the hollow coves of Appalac... | 23m 06s | ||||||
| 7/22/26 | Eps. 80: Sacred Animals of the Divine Feminine | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the sacred animals of the divine feminine — the serpent, the bear, and the cow — and what it means that the same three animals kept appearing alongside goddesses across cultures that had no contact with one another. From the Minoan snake goddess of Knossos to Wadjet and Asherah's serpent pillar; to Artemis and the bear-girls of Brauron, Shelby traces how these pairings encoded something true about feminine sacred power. She a... | 25m 50s | ||||||
| 7/15/26 | Eps.79: The Devils Tramping Ground | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the American tradition of devil-named places — over a thousand of them — and what it means that humans have always marked the land where the land pushes back. The episode centers on the Devil's Tramping Ground in Chatham County, North Carolina: a forty-foot bare circle in the longleaf pines where objects move overnight, dogs refuse to enter, and soil tests reveal elevated salt content with no natural explanation. From there, ... | 24m 12s | ||||||
| 7/8/26 | Eps.78: Shapeshifters: Circe, Proteus & the Selkie | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores three of mythology's great shapeshifters — Circe, Proteus, and the selkie — and the thread they share: the one who changes is the one who sees most clearly. Circe's transformations reveal what was already running beneath the surface of her visitors; Proteus releases the truth only when you hold him through every form he takes; the selkie's two natures are both completely real, and the tragedy is the world's inability to hold ... | 21m 49s | ||||||
| 6/26/26 | Eps.77: The Night Hag | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the night hag — the figure who sits on your chest while you sleep, pins you to the bed, and leaves you certain something was in the room. The experience is one of the most universally reported in human history, and the traditions built around it are remarkably consistent: the Germanic mara, the Newfoundland Old Hag documented by folklorist David Hufford, Queen Mab in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and the Hmong dab tsog — a ... | 27m 33s | ||||||
| 6/10/26 | Eps.76: Solar Deities | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the mythology of the sun — the deities across world traditions who were understood to carry the light, fight for it, and in some cases withdraw it entirely. We look at Ra, the Egyptian sun god who sailed his barque through the underworld each night and battled the serpent Apophis before every dawn could come. At the Greek figures of Helios and Apollo, who represent two very different ideas about what the sun actually means. A... | 23m 59s | ||||||
| 6/1/26 | Eps. 75: Women Blamed Pt. 2- Medusa, Lamia & Scylla | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the origin stories of three of Greek mythology's most feared women — and what those origins reveal about how monsters get made. Circe, the sorceress who transforms men into pigs. Lamia, the child-devouring queen. Scylla, the creature in the strait who drags sailors to their deaths. Each of these figures has a story that predates the monster version, and in each case, the transformation follows a recognizable pattern: a ... | 22m 13s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | Eps. 74: The Women in the Walls | In episode 74 of The Moon in Carolina podcast, host Shelby Bundy explores the world of anchoresses — medieval women who chose to be walled into a small stone cell attached to a church and spend the rest of their lives there. It was voluntary, sanctioned by the church, and for many of them, genuinely liberating. Inside the cell, they had something almost no woman of their era could access: solitude, time, authority, and a room of their own. This episode looks at why women chose the wall,... | 23m 11s | ||||||

| 4/29/26 | Eps.73: The Bones of the Earth | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, we explore the folklore of stones and soil—the materials beneath our feet that humans have worked with for thousands of years. Across myth and tradition, stones have marked sacred places, protected homes, chosen kings, and stood witness to the passage of generations. Soil, meanwhile, holds the memory of life itself, carrying the traces of forests, animals, and people who have returned to the earth. From Greek mythology and Irish legend to Appalac... | 26m 54s | ||||||
| 4/22/26 | Eps. 72: Weather Witches | In this episode of The Moon in Carolina podcast, host Shelby Bundy explores the long history of people who believed they could speak to and influence the weather — from the Sámi noaidi who sold knotted wind-cords to sailors, to village rainmakers, to the cunning folk who turned storms away from grain fields. Shelby tells the story of Agnes Sampson, a Scottish midwife executed in 1591 whose trial shaped witchcraft law for a century, and traces how weather accusations became one of the most com... | 25m 31s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 | Eps. 71: Women Blamed Pt. 1: Pandora, Eve & Lilith | Across cultures, myths often explain the hardships of human life through the actions of a single woman. In this first episode of a new series, we explore three of the earliest examples: Pandora, Eve, and Lilith. Each story describes a moment when a woman crossed a boundary, sought knowledge, or refused submission, and the consequences were said to change the world forever. This episode examines the myths themselves and the long tradition of placing the blame for humanity’s struggles on the sh... | 22m 21s | ||||||

| 3/4/26 | Eps. 68: Mythic Brothers- Sleep & Death | In Greek mythology, Sleep and Death were brothers. Hypnos, the god of sleep, visited each night through dreams, while Thanatos, the god of death, arrived only once to guide the soul beyond life. In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the myth of these twin figures and the ancient belief that sleep may be a small rehearsal for death, along with the ways different cultures have understood the mysterious connection between sleep, dreams, and the afterlife. 🖤 You ... | 20m 06s | ||||||
