Entrances to the Underworld - Ep 05

In this episode we return to Ireland for a look at the Cave of the Cats associated with The Morrigan and Queen Medb and journey to a haunting volcanic mountain in Japan where mediums commune with the dead. Then to Iceland’s highly active volcanoes that were thought to be the Gates of Hell, and then to Greco-Roman caves that granted prophecies and access to the underworld. Join me as we explore the legends, archaeology, and ancient beliefs that echo through these otherworldly landscapes.
