Corn Mother

Each episode, we dive into the folklore and history of a different legendary creature and share a story about it, and this week, in honor of Thanksgiving, we’re taking inspiration from well-stocked tables and harvest bounty to look at a figure known to some North American indigenous agricultural tribes as being responsible for the origin of maize: the Corn Mother. Today’s episode features a story that’s adapted from an Abenaki legend called “The First People and the First Corn.” This episode was researched and written by Lindsey Morse. Niall Cooper assists with writing and editing. Our theme music was composed by Graeme Ronald.

Om Podcasten

Each week on Fab Figmentals, we look at a different legendary creature by exploring its history and folklore. Each episode begins with a story, and then we take a look at the creature’s origins and how it’s been portrayed throughout the ages. We tackle the realm of beautiful beasts, curious creatures, and mythical monsters by looking at myths, legends, tales, and lore from all over the world. Please be advised that our stories are often more Brothers Grimm than Mother Goose; they may not be appropriate for little ears.
