What lurks beneath the waves? In this episode of The Lorekeepers Library, we plunge into the icy waters of Scandinavian legend to uncover the truth behind one of the ocean’s most terrifying myths—the Kraken.
From ancient Norse texts and bishop’s journals to real-world accounts from sailors and scientists, join Kriss as we trace the tentacled terror’s journey from seafaring folklore to modern-day mystery. Along the way, we’ll explore:
🪸 The Kraken’s origins in Scandinavian and Icelandic mythology
📜 Chilling historical accounts and real-life sailor encounters
🌊 Global sea monster myths that echo the Kraken—from Japan’s Akkorokamui to the Caribbean’s Lusca
🔬 Folklore vs. Science: Are giant squid the real monsters of the deep?
Whether you're a folklore fanatic, a lover of legends, or just a curious explorer, this is one tale you don’t want to miss.
