The Gods and Goddesses of the Jutes

Author: Paul A.T. Wilson June 25, 2021 Duration: 1:33:04

hrough the mists of time the old Gods still call to us and although their voices may sometimes be quiet we can hear them if with listen carefully enough.

Join me as I tell the stories of the Gods and Goddess of the Jutes; these are the stories that are told through the wind as it whispers to us.

Let's all walk to crooked path together and meet the Gods and Goddesses of the Jutes; the well known and the lesser. The lesser trodden roads of the wyrd will take us to the ancient lands of the Ése and the Ylfe.

Around every corner,
And behind every door,
We hear the songs of magic,
As we walk the Wihtlore.

o Ése – Woden, Thunar, Frige, Tiw, Helan, Lok
Wen – Ingui Frey, Freo (Freya), Neorth (Frey and Freo father—seas and fisherman), Eostre, Gethar, Eorthe, Niht (Mother of Eorthe, Goddess of Night), Sigel, Mone, Undirgoð (The God Beneath)

o Ylfe – Modræ, Wūscfrēa, Wælcyrge (Chooses who lives and dies), Cuma, Hjúki and Bil


In Tales of Wihtlore: Folklore and Stories from a sacred isle, Paul A.T. Wilson acts as a modern-day keeper of ancient wisdom, drawing inspiration from Britain's most hallowed landscapes. This podcast is rooted in the deep magic and mythology that permeates the land, long before history was written down. Each episode feels like a journey into those other domains, realms of mist and subtle sorcery that are felt more often than they are seen. You'll hear stories passed down through generations, tales that capture the unique spirit of a sacred isle where the veil between worlds is famously thin. The narrative style is immersive and contemplative, designed to transport you directly into the heart of these legends. It’s a fiction podcast built on the very real, atmospheric folklore that defines a magical Britain. Listening becomes an act of shared meditation, uncovering the whispers and shadows that have shaped a culture’s imagination. Paul A.T. Wilson weaves these threads not as simple retellings, but as living encounters with the past. The result is a deeply atmospheric collection where every myth and legend feels personally discovered, resonating with a timeless quality that modern life often overlooks. This isn't just about stories; it's about experiencing the persistent echo of an older, enchanted world that still lingers in the landscape and in memory.
