Episode 27 - The Dirty Goddess

In this episode of the Mythcasting section of The ReMembering and ReEnchanting Podcast, hostess Sara Jolena Wolcott tells a story of one of the forgotten goddesses of the greek mythology.

Baubo (and her Boar), a peculiar deity who is most certainly older than the Greek pantheon, but who still manages to survive the agricultural revolution in the Fertile Crescent and plays an absolutely essential role into one of the most important Greco-Roman stories, that of Persephone's theft by the God of the Underworld, Hades, and her (eventual) rescue by Demeter, the Earth Goddess whose mourning of her daughter leads the whole Earth into Winter and whose ability to find her and bring her back leads to Spring.
