Episode 79: Jiutian Xuannü

Take a moment and picture this: You’re hanging out, minding your own business, when suddenly the sky opens and a Dark and Mysterious Woman emerges riding a flaming phoenix. Yeah, we’re also super impressed. Which is why we love the story of Jiutian Xuannü! We dive into the stories of the goddess, what our wrestling personas would be, crave some Cinnabon, plan a zoo trip, and have a lot of fun with phrases like “invisibility ability” and “physiological cosmology”. All this, and more, in episode 79!   Make sure to check out The Noir and Bizarre, an original podcast coming out of WYPR, Baltimore’s NPR Station. Host Katie Marquette examines weird and creepy history, surreal film and fiction, and strange folklore.   Find Us Online If you like Spirits, help us grow by spreading the word!
