    Introducing the Greek Pantheon

    Introducing the Greek Pantheon

    Our first episode of season 2! In a way this is episode 0 because it is an introduction to the members of the Greek pantheon and some of our opinions on them.

    This season we will be reading from:


    ⁠⁠Mythology by Edith Hamilton

    Our intro/outro music a sample of Seikilos Epitaph with the Lyre of Apollo, by Lina Palera, under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 International License. You can find the full version at FreeMusicArchive.org.

    Briar Rose - Awakening and Transformation

    Briar Rose - Awakening and Transformation

    Our final episode of season 1 is a story near and dear to Raisa. This episode gets a lot more personal than some, as we discuss periods of awakening and transformation from various points in our own lives.

    The story is from ⁠Household Tales by Brothers Grimm⁠ and is read starting at 7:19 and ending at 15:25.

    Adina also recommends:


    ⁠The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales⁠ (Pantheon Fairy Tale And Folklore Library). If attempting to purchase this, be sure it says, "with Padraic Colum (intro) and Joseph Campbell (commentary) and James Scharl (illustr)". Amazon considers all versions to be the same book, so you could accidentally buy a copy without those key elements.

    Our intro/outro music is from Antoni Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, performed by John Harrison with the Wichita State University Chamber Players. You can find the original at ⁠freemusicarchive.org⁠

    Snow White Pt 1 - Archetypal Evil

    Snow White Pt 1 - Archetypal Evil

    After an unplanned hiatus, we're back! Snow White is one of the most recognized fairy tale stories and characters but, as usual, not many people are familiar with the Grimm version. Part one centers around Archetypal Evil and how it taints those who come into contact with it. 

    The story is from Household Tales by Brothers Grimm and is read starting at 6:24 and ending at 24:55.

Waiting for more episodes!

This is one of my favorite podcasts, but I’m disappointed that more episodes aren’t forthcoming. Please, don’t drop the ball down the well!

Encourages symbolic thinking!

I appreciate these conversations very much. The interviews are well organized, and the exploration of the symbolic movement in each fairy tale is rich and fascinating.

Love it

Really enjoy the fairy tales analysis from a jungian point of view. Usually I get those from books but this podcast format is really great. I love the reading of the fairy tales acting out different voices, the dialog between analyst and casual reader, the reference to adaptations from popular culture, and also the suggestions from the analyst for further reading. Thank you, I'm looking forward to more episodes.
