A quick update on the end of season one of The Shadowed Path.

13. Hansel and Gretel by The Brothers Grimm

This week I'll be delving into some old stories and reading 'Hansel and Gretel' by the Brothers Grimm. It's a tale of a starving countryside, a dark forest, a cruel stepmother, an easily manipulated father, and the murder of a wicked witch by a little girl. This story has adult themes and depictions of death.

12. Fitcher's Bird by The Brothers Grimm

This week I'll be delving into some old stories and reading 'Fitcher's Bird' by the Brothers Grimm. It's a tale of marriage, murder, and revenge, and isn't for the faint of heart. This story has adult themes and depictions of gore.

11. Necropants and Icelandic Staves

In this episode, I cover a few pieces of Icelandic sorcery, including the Vegvisir, the Helm of Awe, and the original skinny jeans: Necropants. And if you enjoyed last week's episode on the Hand of Glory, you won't want to miss the corpse-britches.

10. Hand of Glory

Gruesomely gathered, the ingredients used in this magical item can render the wielder invisible or put people in a coma-like state. The hand of glory is a potent magical item, and only one is said to remain in existence - at least as far as most people know.
