Stonehenge is a beloved piece of British history. So beloved in fact that 1.5 million visitors flock to see these giant stones each year.  But where exactly did they come from and what is its purpose? Some believe it's a magical celestial clock, some say it's a giant vagina metaphor, some say it's a portal to other universes originally connected to Merlin and Arthur.  And what's so special about the blue stones from Wales? There is so much to chat about in today's episode! Nikki and Keith are breaking down all the details, including what exactly happened on 21st December, 2021 at Stonehenge while we were all in lockdown. So pour yourself a cuppa and settle in with us - you'll be glad you did!

This week on paranormal hotline podcast we took a look at the location where Halloween was first started, otherwise known as Tlachtga! 

The site of a giant goddess burial and the site of fire festival celebrations for hundreds of years. 

I also believe a blind druid may have come from outer space and his daughter started Halloween but that's up for debate. 

We also discuss the types of spells that would have been cast on Halloween night and how to read the future on Halloween.

Gather round for our last mini myth of this season, Banshees & Mistletoe!
Listen as Erin and Meghan talk about the legends of Banshees and how one of them predicted the death of the assassinated King James I of Scotland, plus did you know that mistletoe is actually a parasite?!? We also talk about a connection Meghan found between Lydia Martin and Gnarls Barkley's hit "Crazy", and we have to thank Pliny the Elder this time around for recording an ancient Druids ritual of the cutting of mistletoe to help with infertility. Don't worry, Pliny doesn't get off that easy, we later find out he thought carrying mistletoe in your pocket would help cure seizures.  This was a very silly and fun episode to record, additionally this episode is very special because our own mythology expert edited this masterpiece!

Welcome back! This week on The Nemeton Podcast we rewatch S3 E10 The Overlooked. In this fast paced episode, it is a game of capture the flag, the flag being Jennifer, or is that her real name. A big storm has blown in and when Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital has to be evacuated it becomes the main stage for the game at play. The alphas want Jennifer because they are afraid of what she will do when she reaches full power, Jennifer wants Derek and Scott for protection from the alpha pack. Derek and Scott need Jennifer as she is the only one who can  heal a dying Cora and knows where a waiting to be sacrificed Sheriff Stilinski is. Only thing is Jennifer wont do anything until she is out of the hospital and safe. But did Jennifer really need their help or was going to the hospital her plan all along just to collect another guardian.

This week on The Nemeton Podcast, Meghan, Erin, and Avalon break down one of Meghan's favorite episodes, The Girl Who Knew Too Much. 
We talk about how Scott is now determined to find a weakness in Deucalion's pack, and he starts with Ethan. When a deputy is murdered at the school, we find out that the BH police dept. is bringing in back up to take down the murder. Allison enlists Isaac to help her figure out if her father is the Darach, when they find another clue spelling out all of the categories of victims Allison is nervous about her fathers involvement yet again. Stiles feels the pressure to tell his Dad what really is going on in Beacon Hills, but what he didn't realize was that his Dad is incapable of believing in what is actually going on. When Lydia is at the sight of yet another sacrifice being taken, we find out that the new pattern is philosophers, which also means teachers, teachers who are on their way to a recital at the school, planned to honor all of the losses. With all of the teachers in one building Scott is determined to find the Darach, but it's actually Lydia who finds herself face to face with this dark druid.

This week on The Nemeton Podcast we rewatch S3 E8 Visionary. This episode is all about loss, how two stories merge in a confluence of events. We see into the past and how those actions have now affected the present. How Deucalion lost his eyesight, and how Derek’s loss changed the color of his eyes. What is most important, perhaps the number one take away from this episode is that even though what the audience sees is true, our beloved characters, Stiles, Allison, Scott and Cora, are separately told a story by two unreliable narrators, Peter and Gerard. We also talk Stiles and Cora as a ship, Talia Hale, and we finally learn what the Nemeton is!

Hold on tight and put your thinking caps on for this mini myth of The Nemeton Podcast!
This week we deep dive into the science world of telluric currents, and we'll be honest this episode is just as informative as watching The Magic School bus,  just minus the lizard *millennial joke. ANYWAY! Listen as Erin and Meghan, mostly Erin, give us amazing information on how there are electric currents flowing under your feet right now!! These currents can even charge your cell phone if you know how to make the proper battery.  There is so much to learn on this episode of The Nemeton Podcast, we hope you take this information and impress your friends at your next gathering!

We are back again with another shocking episode, S3 E7 Currents. Listen as hosts Meghan, Erin, and Avalon talk all things like when Mama McCall takes charge at BHMH when she saves Danny's life but also fills in for the missing doctors who end up being the next sacrifices, falling under a new category, healers. With healers as the new target the last person Scott thought would be taken is Deaton. We also discuss when Ms. Morrell gives Stiles and Scott guidance by steering them to the only person who is tapped into the supernatural, Lydia. Stiles and Cora put Lydia up to a bunch of tests to help find Deaton but ultimately Lydia gives them the idea to look into what Danny knows. Danny’s school project and Allison’s keen eye help Scott figure out another clue into the ways of the Darach. We also talk about how Boyd’s plan to shock the alpha pack goes wrong, Scott must choose between saving Deaton and helping Derek. Ultimately, we find out that it's not Derek that Deucalion wants in his pack, it's Scott.

We know you all have been waiting for us to rewatch this VERY famous Teen Wolf episode!!
-
We know you all love this episode BUT with that said, this episode contains some triggering topics of discussion regarding unaliving, please be warned. 
-
On todays episode Meghan, Erin and Avalon discuss Derek and Ms. Blake's relationship, the team of humans who rescue the werewolf's, and listen how the girls react to Scott in the end of this episode. We also talk about how the cross country meet has postponed and the bus full of students are now forced to check into a creepy off the highway motel called the Grand Capri. This motel not only is rough on the outside by what lies inside the walls is truly scarier. With weird things only happening to the werewolves, it is up to Stiles, Allison and Lydia to make sure the werewolves stay in reality, and Stiles reminds everyone that they have been through something like this before. Although the Darach is still unknown, their ploy to take 3 werewolves ends up in flames. 

And like Lydia says “a lot can happen in one night”

Who's ready to get their hands dirty with some mythology, this week we discuss the mythology of Druids.
Erin walks Meghan and the listeners through the world of Druids. We discuss their culture and how it unfortunately was lost over time, the different types of Druids, and their roles in society.

Of course Meghan ties everything together in the end with some additional information on druids and how they related to Teen Wolf, she also drops a hint at another mini myth that might have to do with the name of this podcast. You will just have to listen to find out.
