In the mists of Britain lie stories older than memory, of giants and ghosts, saints and sinners, witches and heroes. Join Mythic Albion as we wander through ancient windswept landscapes and forgotten legends, where every stone has a secret and every shadow hides a tale. From Stonehenge to Sherwood, from Black Shuck to Pendle Hill and beyond, we uncover the folklore, myths and mysteries that shaped the British Isles. Each episode blends storytelling, history and atmosphere - a journey through time and myth to the heart of olde Britain. Step into the mist... and listen.

Episode 16. The Legends of the Seven Seas Cover

16. The Legends of the Seven Seas

Black sails on the horizon. Cannons thundering through the mist. The creak of timber beneath blood-soaked decks. In this episode of Mythic Albion, we sail into the violent and mythologised world of the pirates — the outlaws, privateers, rebels and monsters who haunted the seas during the Golden Age of Piracy. Far from the romantic tales of adventure, these were dangerous men shaped by war, empire and survival. Men who abandoned the laws of kings and nations to forge their own brutal kingdoms upon the ocean. We follow the lives and legends of some of history's most infamous pirates: * Blackbeard — the smoke-shrouded Devil of the Atlantic * Calico Jack and the legendary women who sailed beside him: Anne Bonny and Mary Read * Bartholomew Roberts — the Gentleman Pirate who captured hundreds of ships * And Edward Low — a man whose cruelty became infamous even among pirates themselves Together, their stories reveal a world of black flags, naval warfare, mutiny, greed and terror — where freedom and brutality walked hand in hand. But beyond the history lies something deeper. Because pirates endure not simply because they existed… But because they became myth. Symbols of rebellion. Of lawlessness. Of humanity untethered from civilisation itself. From storm-dark seas to the gallows awaiting them on shore, this is the story of the men and women who became the Devils of the Sea. Mythic Albion — where the old world is never as far away as it seems. 0:09 - Intro 2:21 - Blackbeard 8:32 - Calico Jack 13:49 - Edward Low 19:37 - Black Bart 25:42 - Conclusion With music by Luella Gren, Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen, Fredrik Ekstrom, Philip Ayers and Ruiqi Zhao, Music and sound effects licensed via Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsound.com [https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/featured/]).

Episode 15. Fae - Between Worlds Cover

15. Fae - Between Worlds

There are places in Britain where the world feels… different. Where the air is still. Where the path seems to shift beneath your feet. Where something unseen lingers just beyond the edge of sight. In this episode of Mythic Albion, we step into the hidden realm of the Fae — a world once deeply feared, respected, and believed to exist alongside our own. From the courts of the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court… to the wandering trickery of pixies and fair folk… to the quiet presence of brownies within the home… We explore the origins, nature, and enduring mystery of these ancient beings. But not all of the Fae are playful. Some are watchers. Some are warnings. And some… are something far darker. We descend into the folklore of: * The headless rider — the Dullahan * The horrific Nuckelavee, bringer of plague and famine * The restless dead of the Sluagh * And the blood-soaked terror of Redcaps and goblins lurking in ruined places These are not simply stories. They are echoes of a time when the world was not fully understood… And the line between reality and myth was far thinner. From ancient pagan origins, to Christian reinterpretation, to modern folklore — this episode explores not just what the Fae are… But what they represent. Because perhaps the Fae did not disappear. Perhaps we simply stopped seeing them. Mythic Albion — where the old world is never as far away as it seems. 0:01 - Intro 3:25 - Pixies 5:39 - Redcaps 8:48 - Brownies 11:40 - Fairies 13:58 - The Seelie and Unseelie Courts 14:45 - The Elphame Queen 15:16 - Selkies 16:02 - Pech 16:46 - Wulver 17:31 - Dullahan 18:02 - Baobhan SIth 18:31 - Nuckelavee 19:21 - The Sluagh 20:37 - Conclusion and Cottingley Fairies 24:03 - Outro/Pirates!

Episode 14. Arthur - The Rise and Fall of Camelot Cover

14. Arthur - The Rise and Fall of Camelot

Arthur: The Fall of Camelot (Part III of the Arthurian Trilogy) Camelot was never meant to last. It rose from chaos… forged by a king chosen not by blood, but by destiny. A kingdom built on honour. A brotherhood bound by oath. A vision of something greater than the world that came before it. But even the brightest legends cast shadows. In this final chapter of the Arthurian trilogy, we follow the reign of King Arthur beyond the moment he draws the sword from the stone… into the rise of Camelot, and the slow, inevitable fracture that leads to its fall. From the formation of the Round Table and the golden age of unity… to the betrayal of Sir Lancelot and Guinevere… to the rise of Mordred and the final, devastating battle at Camlann… This is not a story of triumph. It is a tragedy. Because Camelot was not destroyed by monsters… nor by invading armies. It fell to something far more human. Love. Pride. Betrayal. And as the kingdom burns, and the Round Table breaks… A question lingers in the silence that follows: Was Camelot ever real? Or was it always destined to fade into legend? This is Part III of the Arthurian Trilogy. The rise has passed. The magic is gone. All that remains… Is the fall. Mythic Albion — where Britain's legends are not just remembered… but felt. 0:01 - Opening theme 0:10 - The Crown and the Memory 05:18 - The Early Reign - A King Tested 08:33 - Camelot Rises - The Golden Age 17:01 - Love and Betrayal 21:42 Mordres and the Battle of Camlann 27:56 - Epilogue With music by Hanna Lindgren, Philip Ayers, Helmut Schenker, Stationary Sign, Max Anson, Stefan Ekstrom, Experia, Blue Saga, Ruiqi Zhao and Edgar Hopp Music and sound effects licensed via Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsound.com [https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/featured/]).

Episode Easter: Between History, Faith and the turning of the Year Cover

Easter: Between History, Faith and the turning of the Year

Spring arrives quietly… The days lengthen. The earth softens. And across the land, life begins to return. For centuries, this moment has been marked as a turning point — a threshold between darkness and renewal. Today, we know it as Easter. In this bonus episode of Mythic Albion, we explore the layered history of Easter — from its roots in ancient seasonal observances, to its transformation into one of the most important festivals of the Christian calendar. We trace the origins of Pascha, its connection to Jewish Passover, and the decisions made at the First Council of Nicaea that continue to shape how Easter is observed today. Along the way, we examine the enduring symbols of the season — eggs, lilies, and spring itself — and how older traditions were absorbed, reinterpreted, and carried forward through time. This is a story not of one origin… but of many. A convergence of belief, tradition, and the natural world. Because whether through faith or through the turning of the year… Easter has always been about one thing: That after darkness… something returns. Mythic Albion — where Britain's legends still breathe in the mist.

Episode 13. Merlin - The Prophet behind The Crown Cover

13. Merlin - The Prophet behind The Crown

Before Camelot rose… before the sword was drawn from the stone… there was a figure who stood in the shadows of kings. He had no crown. No kingdom. And yet, without him… there would be no Arthur. He was called Merlin. A child born without a father. A boy who spoke of things before they happened. A man who moved between worlds — shaping destiny while never truly belonging to it. In this episode of Mythic Albion, we explore the legend of Merlin — the prophet, the kingmaker, and the architect of Camelot itself. From the crumbling tower of Vortigern… to the rise of Uther Pendragon… to the moment a young King Arthur unknowingly claims his destiny… This is the story of a man who did not rule… but decided who would. But Merlin's power came at a cost. Because to see the future is not to change it. And as Camelot rises, so too does the shadow of its fall. Guided by prophecy. Bound by fate. And undone… by the very magic he passed on. This is Part II of the Arthurian Trilogy. The story of the man behind the throne… and the silence he leaves behind. Mythic Albion — where Britain's legends still breathe in the mist. 0:13 - Intro 3:55 - Myrddin the Child, Vortigern and The Dragons 11:43 - Uther, Kingmaker and The Sword & The Stone 24:54 - Merlin, Morgana and The Binding 32:15 - The Final Reflection 33:47 - Preview of Arthur, Camelot and the Knights of the Round With music by Stefan Ekstrom, Rachel Sandy, Hampus Naeselius, Christopher Moe Ditlevsen, Dian Shuai, Luella Gren and Chronus Music and sound effects licensed via Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsound.com [https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/featured/]).
