In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, we explore the folklore of stones and soil—the materials beneath our feet that humans have worked with for thousands of years. Across myth and tradition, stones have marked sacred places, protected homes, chosen kings, and stood witness to the passage of generations. Soil, meanwhile, holds the memory of life itself, carrying the traces of forests, animals, and people who have returned to the earth. From Greek mythology and Irish legend to Appalachian folklore, this episode looks at how cultures have understood the land not just as scenery, but as something alive with history and meaning.
