290-Indian Folklore: Hiss and Make Up

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

A story from Kashmir folklore about love, marriage, and murder. Kind of a lot of all those things, actually.

The creature is a Jaculus, the snake that will kill you with kindness. And its sharp javelin head.
