Hearthlore

Cinematic mythology, told by firelight.

Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Japanese, and Aztec myths — retold through gods, monsters, and the long shadows of forgotten lore. A new story every week.

Many fires. One hearth.

The channel draws from many great bodies of myth — Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Japanese, Aztec, and more to come. Stories rotate through them, one fire to the next, week by week.

Norse I

Norse

Of frost-giants, doomed gods, and the wolf at the end of the world.

Greek II

Greek

Of hubris, fate, and gods who could not save themselves.

Egyptian III

Egyptian

Of judgment, the long dark, and the boat that crosses the night.

Japanese IV

Japanese

Of mountain spirits, vengeful ghosts, and the things one does not name at night.

Aztec V

Aztec

Of feathered serpents, blood-debts, and a sun that must be fed.

By Way of Invitation

The oldest stories were not written. They were told — slowly, between long silences, to whoever had pulled their chair close enough to hear. We mean to keep telling them that way.

— the storyteller

The first stories.

A young channel. A small handful so far — and more on the way every week.
