Ragnarök isn't quite the absolute end. After gods fall, monsters break free, and the world is consumed by catastrophe, the earth rises green again from the sea. A new generation survives. Even one of mythology's wildest apocalypses leaves room for another beginning. #WyrdWednesday

The Loch of Girlsta is one of Shetland’s largest and deepest freshwater lochs, reaching 65-feet-deep in some spots, and is home to Scotland’s most northerly population of Arctic Char. It’s a beautiful spot to visit, especially on a sunny day! #WyrdWednesday

In Norse mythology, Garmr is a terrifying hound associated with the realm of the dead and the events of Ragnarök. Bound before the end of the world, he eventually breaks free as chaos erupts. Even the apocalypse, apparently, requires an enormous supernatural dog. #WyrdWednesday

The Yeth Hound of English folklore is a headless spectral dog said to race across the countryside at night, howling as it hunts. Some traditions connect these eerie hounds with the souls of unbaptized children, giving an already disturbing phantom an especially grim origin. #WyrdWednesday

"Below the thunders of the upper deep; Far, far beneath the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth" Surely Tennyson's short, creepy poem (which also includes 'enormous polypi' etc) must have been the inspiration for Cthulhu? #WyrdWednesday #Lovecraft

An illustration (I'm afraid I don't know the artist) of a gigantic octopus reaches up from the sea-bed two tentacles, dwarfing a tiny sailing ship between them. Unlike in the poem, this Kraken is very much awake, with one huge red eye.

The Dutch village of Saeftinghe was drowned by a giant tidal wave during the All Saints Day Flood of 1570. According to legend, it suffered this fate after being cursed by a merman for its decadence and cruelty. The village is thought to remain submerged to this day. #WyrdWednesday

Horns have long symbolized power, divinity, protection, and the untamed wild. From ancient gods and forest spirits to crescent moons and ceremonial crowns, they appear throughout mythology not as marks of evil, but of sacred authority and mystery. #WyrdWednesday

Cernunnos is a Celtic god with antlers. The only surviving reference to his name is on "The Pillar of the Boatman," a 1st-century CE stone pillar in Paris. Though Cernunnos is often linked with other Celtic art of an antlered figure, it's not proven that they're the same person. #WyrdWednesday

Interesting chat. Something I've noticed recently is the flipping in a large part of the public mind of the traditional roles where the internet is seen as reality and offline meat-space is just a place you film your content in. Certainly parallels with my understanding of Gnosticism. Thanks Rick!

Fortuitous timing for me with this conversation as I've been listening to a lot of Jungian dream analysis leading me to wonder whether, as you raised in the episode, we should think about an experience like a Bigfoot encounter as if it had a hidden message to deliver like a dream might.
