Happy Thursday and welcome to Death Coven! This week, River tells the tumultuous tale of the Loudun possessions, during which a gaggle of French nuns got....freaky.

Finally, Poppy takes us back to Appalachia to tell us the true story of the Greenbrier Ghost. ...

Hello dreamers! Grab your sleepy time tea and snuggle up because this week, Poppy is leading us through our second oneiromancy episode.

Welcome back listeners! This week the coven is getting a little bit susceptible and easily manipulated, join us as Skye walks us through her epic but short lived cruise ship cult, Poppy makes us play MASH to see what hand crafted cult we end up with at the end of the day, and then we get to play build-a-cult at the end as Skye and Poppy help River flesh out the bones of their cult.

Then River takes the stage reminding us that we are in ...

Hey, hi, how a doin'? Today we're talking ghosts, gods, and graves. Skye regales us with the legend of one of the most iconic yokai in Japan: Yotsuya Kaiden. River tells us about the mythology behind Ariadne, the beautiful wife of Dionysus. Finally, Poppy informs us about the environmental impacts of various burial practices in the USA, including aquamation, green burials, and human composting.
