Gwynnevere, Athena, Isis, Lilith, Joan of Arc, even Mulan, Snow White, and Cinderella.

The mythology and folklore of the world is full of goddesses, queens, witches, and in a word,

women, women with powers,

women with courage, women with wisdom, and women with while. There are so many interesting women in these tales that it would be easy to say start a podcast dedicated just to the ladies

of lore. And that's exactly what we have for you on today's Saturday matinee. An episode

on Deidre of the Sorrows, a story of prophecy, exile, and doomed love. I hope you enjoy. While you're

listening, be sure to search for and follow Ladies of Lore. We put a link in the show notes to make it easy for you.

Hello, and the show notes to make it easy for you. Hello and welcome to Ladies of Law, the podcast where we take all of the most

wonderful women of mythology and folklore from all over the world, and we unpick, unravel

and explore their origins, their stories, and how they've changed through time to arrive in today's modern world.

I'm India and I'm so grateful to have you here with me today.

Can you believe it's February already?

I was having quite a good January actually until I had a car crash.

I almost, almost made it to the end of January

without incident, but yes, car crash. I'm all right. Everyone's okay. Nobody got hurt. My car

is not okay. The other car, absolutely fine. Mine, not fine, but that's okay. It's all good.

I'm sure there's some kind of physics that could explain why that happened, but this is not a physics podcast. Anyway, if you

are new to the podcast, welcome on in. Now, I know there are many, many, many, many, many new faces

since the last episode was released. And I think, I'm probably

right when I say that most of you have found the podcast through TikTok. So a huge thank you

to coming over from TikTok and actually following and then actually listening. I appreciate

you so much. I was a bit, I was a bit blown away by the response to the TikTok that I made.
