Description
In episode 109 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby conclude part 2 of their Mythical Creatures Series. In the final installment of this three-part conversation, they discuss the Anzu bird and the Basilisk. Beginning with the Anzu, they contemplate the stories of this giant bird and its role as a deliverer of storms and chaos. While the Anzu is associated with eagles, vultures, and lions, the Basilisk is known as the King of Serpents. They discuss the Basilisk’s deadly gaze, foul breath, and aversion to rue.
