42: Blodeuwedd




Femlore Podcast (formally Feminist Folklore) show

Summary: This week, we meet Blodeuwedd. A Welsh lady that was originally a bunch of flowers only to be put together in the shape of a woman so that she can be the wife of some guy (Galatea anyone?). Blodeuwedd, though, has alternative plans for her marriage and they reek of Ye Olde Snapped episode. Except instead of poison, there is a caldron and buck. Yea, it’s confusing, but that’s folklore for ya. Top thing to remember: Blodeuwedd is a badass. Also, for the record, we are not advocating that you murder your husband (unless he made you out of flowers... then... maybe...?).  Audio Engineering by Aaron Crossland. Music by Tinsel Turtle.
