Hi Legends! I have a very special episode for you today. I am joined by none other than the fabulous host of The Faerie Folk podcast! A folklore enthusiast who runs an amazing podcast about all things faerie, she and I chat about the most popular water-related mythical creatures of all time: mermaids! We first go to Zennor in Cornwall, UK to hear about the romantic tale of a mermaid and her lover, before journeying to the Karoo in South Africa to listen to darker tales of murderous mermaids, floods and a girl with a face of rainbow pearls. Enjoy and stay legendary! **FOLLOW*** Instagram: @legendarypod Twitter: @Legendarypod1 Main link: https://linktr.ee/legendarypodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEFFYuCPlslKyYubJFs_77Q Website: https://theshirapather.wixsite.com/legendaryafrica Follow The Faerie Folk on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and listen to her episodes here!
