Welcome to episode 21 of the Nurtured by Nature podcast. Today I'm delighted to be joined in conversation by the amazing Anaiya from Les Contes in the French Pyrenees. During our beautiful heartfelt conversation we discuss the courage we are all being called to bring forth to navigate the challenges of our times & how the wisdom held in the land & handed down through myth, fairytale & the archetype of the shepherdess can offer comfort by reminding us of the cyclic nature of the natural world. We meander through the landscapes that have inspired Anaiya's life & explore ways to navigate our fears, whilst quietly honouring those who have suffered for speaking out against the status quo & held the responsibility for lightening a path for others to follow. We give thanks to the trees, including the 300 year old Sycamore at Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall for their sacrifice & remember how little Percy & our animal companions can bring immense joy to our journey in this life.Learn more about Anaiya Sophia & Les Contes:Anaiya is a Writer, Mythologist, Somatic Movement Minister & Whisperer of Sacred Wisdom.

Tornano i podcast di Morgana de L'antro di Ecate, che parla di Beltane e del suo peculiare posizionamento calendariale, come nel caso di altre feste fondato non soltanto sui cicli del sole, ma anche su quelli delle stelle. Spiegherà il legame di questa festa con tematiche quali quella del fuoco, della purificazione, e della sessualità sacra, elemento che ricorre nella tradizione folkloristica che vuole Beltane non soltanto una festa del trionfo della luce, ma anche del trionfo della vita e, in tal guisa, legata al ciclo vita-morte-rinascita. Spiegherà l'origine del termine e quanta attinenza potrebbe avere (o meno) con divinità quali Belenos e Belisama. Infine, parlerà dei simboli caratteristici di questo periodo e di alcune ritualità tradizionali. +++ Vuoi sostenere il nostro progetto offrendoci un caffé? Ko-fi!

De lo que es un arquetipo de lo más sencillo, por Su Alegría, se convierte en uno complejo por la Batalla que hay que librar para conseguir esa Alegría, porque entre medias está la barrera anquilosada del primántropo con sus manías retrógradas, por lo que la Lucha no es pequeña, pero bueno, la Esencia es la que es, incluso representada en la Sonoridad sin necesidad de la sensación de empalagosería de la "felicidad" que no tiene nada de feliz, si no de pequeño gesto de histeria irrelevante :)
Moving between Imperial China and France during the ‘Terror’ of the French Revolution and inspired by the true story of the quest for a blood-red rose. Viviane de Faitaud has grown up alone at the Chateau de Belisama-sur-le-Lac in Brittany, for her father, the Marquis de Ravoisier, lives at the court of Louis XVI in Versailles. After a hailstorm destroys the chateau’s orchards, gardens and fields an ambitious young Welshman, David Stronach, accepts the commission to plan the chateau’s new gardens in the hope of making his name as a landscape designer. David and Viviane fall in love, but it is an impossible romance. Her father has betrothed her to a rich duke who she is forced to marry and David is hunted from the property. Viviane goes to court and becomes a maid-in-waiting to Marie-Antoinette and a member of the extended royal family. Angry and embittered, David sails away from England with Lord Macartney, the British ambassador, who hopes to open up trade with Imperial China. In Canton, the British embassy at last receives news from home, including their first reports of the French Revolution. David hears the story of ‘The Blue Rose’, a Chinese fable of impossible love, and discovers the blood-red rose growing in the wintry garden. He realises that he is still in love with Viviane and must find her. Viviane escapes the guillotine and returns to the ruin of Chateau de Belisima to rebuild her life. David carrying a cluster of rosehips finds her there, and together they decide to grow the fabled red rose of China in France.
