On Frau Holle, preserving lore through Fairytales, didacticism and morality

Folkwitchery

Let’s stumble down Holle’s Well - into the world of German and Germanic Folklore, practices, and magic, as well as other European fairytales and lore! From reading favourite fairytales and going into the meanings of each, to how to practice and (re)connect to the Old World magic.

In this episode we ramble on about Frau Holle, the symbolism that we can find in this and other fairytales, the didactic nature of Grimm fairytales, and the preservation of pagan believes and practices through folklore and fairytales.
