Before naturally occurring events were understand by humans, they needed stories in order to explain them, much in the same way as we have seen with physical conditions such as the Old Hag phenomenon which we examined earlier in this season. In this episode of The Folklore Podcast, creator and host Mark Norman looks at the eclipse in folklore, both solar and lunar, and relates some of the mythological and traditional tales associated with these events, as well as some obscure lore on what you should and should not do while an eclipse takes place.

I learned lots about eclipses. While I love folklore, it never occurred to me that there were several cultures with stories about them. But since I have experienced several lunar eclipses I now see how it be, especially the one where my mother in law phoned me to look up at the night sky in the late 1990s. Out of the back door I saw the lunar eclipse, and out of the front door the Hale-Bopp Comet! It was spectacular, and I can imagine the stories that would be created for that display.

Though now in modern times, these events promote commercial enterprise:
