The Legend of the Kraken (Scandinavian folklore)

Beneath the shimmering veil of the North Atlantic, where cold waters clash with rugged shores and the aurora borealis paints whispers of light across the night sky, lies a legend cradled in the depths. The Kraken, a creature vast as islands, with tentacles that could ensnare the unwary and drag them into the abyss, embodies the raw, untamed power of the ocean. Sailors tales of its monstrous form breaking ships as a child might snap twigs have been whispered by the hearth to wide-eyed listeners, intertwining fear with awe at the complexities of our mysterious seas. Join us as we unfurl the ancient sails of these legends, drifting into the tranquility of a world where myth meets the lull of deep waters.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
