On this episode we are joined by scholar, researcher, and specialist in Balkan lore, Katarina Pejovic to discuss all things draconic through the constellation of that same name. From the manifestation of the dragon as dragon, as serpent, to the stars, and of course that ancient pole star who will one day rule again, we cover much length and breadth of the greater ophidian body. Katarina shares diverse oral lore from Serbia and the Balkans pertaining to the varieties of serpentine beings and their characteristics, relation to weather phenomena, agricultural cycles and of course so many juicy bits on witchcraft.
