This special episode is dedicated entirely to Lilith — the exiled goddess, the feral femme, the cosmic wild one. Starting with the myth of Lilith and the ways she is characterized in ancient texts, we parse the role Lilith has taken up in lore. Then we break down the astro — the origin of Black Moon Lilith as an astrological point and everything it can tell us about embodying the power of the archetypal outcast. We also take a look at the birth charts of prominent cultural icons with notable Black Moon Lilith natal placements — from Audre Lorde to Marilyn Monroe — and discuss how each of these figures has embodied the spirit of the original outsider.

Reframing my struggles with astrology has helped me not only re-commit to living here but to do so with wild aliveness, authenticity, and joyful presence. This is because astrology is a magical language: the words are more than new vocabulary terms. Astrology provides codes for accessing technologies for speaking magic, for healing, and for dreaming the emergence of new timelines for ourselves and for our world. In this episode, I share how on the side of portal of the magical word Scorpio, we open into a realm for healing our relationship to the unconscious, to trauma, to buried memories, and to the dead. You'll find here: - a study of the ancient Sumerian myth "The Descent of Inanna" - the precursor to the myth of Persephone - a look at ways modern psychoanalysis has shaped our understanding astrology and myth, and what this has to do with emergence - a discussion of the 8th House in astrology as our closet and our underground, which tends to open up for us the deeper we go in our enmeshed relationships - co-dependency versus what I call "gate-walking" (how to hold sovereignty and our own shit within our deep partnerships) - the connections between alchemy, astrology, and psychology - my own version of the 7 stages of an underworld journey and why I'm so passionate for helping myself and those who are interested in learning with me to find tools and skills for moving through stage 2 (gnarly feels) and 3 (being with what's here). - how in ancient Sumerian language "ear" and "wisdom" are the same word, so in the original Descent when it begins that Inanna "opened her ear" to the Great Below, it refers to the wisdom she wanted to learn from the underworld, and how wisdom is so much of the gift of the journey - a discussion of how crucial it is to give our shadow self - the unconscious that bubbles up - a witness to listen and reflect back without judging, advice-giving, or solution-grasping This episode is so much of everything I am and everything I do. I love it. Learn about my new offering CAVE SPACE, an online learning container with 4 weekly lives but mostly pre-recorded teachings and exercises for you to experience at your own pace. I invited 12 contributors to bring their wisdom of the underground path to guide you in the dark. Most of them you will recognize from Moon to Moon or my learning containers. We meet Scorpio season. All replays available for folks who join later or can't attend. The purpose of CAVE SPACE is to give you magical language, tools, and exercises to greet yourself where it's often quite scary. The overall goal is the same as with all of Emergence Astrology: to help you trust your life. All participants receive my Scorpio workbook. The first 30 to register receive a Pluto ritual oil from Ashley Estabrook of Witches for Bernie.

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Today's episode is full of food, clever tricks, love, falls from pride, and hilarious mishaps! First off, we have Donna Washington's, “Boo Stew”, a story that proves anyone can be a good cook if you have the right people eating your food. Following that, we'll hear “The Silent Prince” by Dan Yashinsky about a girl who tries to get the silent prince to talk, but if she fails, she'll lose her head. Finally, we'll hear Diane Wolkstein's, “The Emperor's New Clothes”, the classic tale about not letting your pride keep you from your honesty. You won't want to miss a minute! On today's episode, enjoy the following: “Boo Stew” by Donna Washington from Angel's Laughter (2:47) Radio Family Journal: "Half Moon" by Sam Payne (16:08) The Daily Mix: "The Bowman Body" with Anthony Burcher (22:54) “The Silent Prince” by Dan Yashinsky (31:12) “The Emperor's New Clothes” by Diane Wolkstein from Hans Christiansen Andersen Classic Stories (47:02)

Fire is an integral part of humanity. It is studied in history, chemistry, physics, nature, and much more. It plays a role in folktales, cooking and all walks of life- providing warmth and light as well as danger. In these stories we will see how fire can play a part in all walks of life- whether it be through the sun and folklore of light, or the tiniest firefly, fire is part of all of humanity and all of nature. As an element it demands respect as it can be destructive and terrifying. But, it can also bring much warmth and wonder to one's life if you learn how to control it and respect it. It takes bravery to face a fire, but sometimes it comes just when you need it. So, as we listen through these stories, think about fire and the wonder of life that it can bring. On today's episode, enjoy the following:"The Boy and the Firefly" by Antonio Rocha from Cross Roads: Stories from Brazil & the World (7:08)Antonio Rocha is a native of Brazil and includes imagery from Brazil's vast landscape in a lot of his stories. In this story he details the adventure a little boy takes into the jungle when he follows a beautiful bird. A little like Mogli from The Jungle Book, this little boy encounters many different animals, simply asking them if they could lead him home. All refuse until a small firefly comes and lights his way home. This story plays the line between nature and humanity wonderfully.  "The Rabbit In The Moon" by Antonio Sacre from Water Torture, the Barking Mouse, and Other Tales of Wonder (6:50)Antonio Sacre blends beautiful language of English and Spanish together in his fantastic tales and this tale is no different. This folk tale of why in Mexico you see a rabbit in the moon, describes the difference between bravery and beauty. When two characters go head to head- one beautiful and one brave- only one will come out triumphant and bring up the sun.  "The Goblin and the Grocer" by Diane Wolkstein from Hans Christian Andersen Classic Stories (8:20)In this wonderful story Diane Wolkstein describes a mischievous goblin and a miscommunication. Diane Wolkstein is a storyteller based in New York who focuses on fairytales and folktales. This story is all about a goblin not knowing where his heart truly lies- with the grocer who gives him butter? Or with the magic book that sings the most beautiful lullabies?  "Go Light The World on Fire" by Don White from Winning Streak (2:23)A singer songwriter and storyteller Don White shows us again just how to combine all of the light of stories with music in a wonderful way. Boston based Don White has been traveling and storytelling since before 2011, and has cultivated his craft throughout the years. In this wonderful song he depicts the real value of passion and light that can drive you to new places, and beyond the typical bounds of life. May we listen and reminisce, remembering to work towards what we love.  "York, Maine" by Mike Agranoff from Or Would You Rather Get A Job (3:42)Just as fire can be beautiful and wonderful it can also be destructive and fear inspiring. In this song by Mike Agranoff we see a wonderful story of the importance of knowing what you care about most. The importance of family and love and the fire of friendship can not be overcome by the fire of destruction.  "Hanukka in Chelm" by Joel Ben Izzy from Lights and Laughter (9:40)In this silly story Joel Ben Izzy describes the town of Chelm- a town of fools who think themselves smart. Joel Ben Izzy is an award-winning storyteller who begun storytelling in 1983. He has traveled in some 36 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. All of this traveling has informed a lot of his stories including this story about silly people and their battle against the elements.  "Og Saves the World" by Mark Binder from A Holiday Present (3:28)Mark binder is classically trained as an actor, director and playwright, he often tours the world as a performer, transmitting the joy of story across distances. He tells stories for adults and children and in this story he tells the story of Og- a man that is afraid of the sun going away. May this ball of fire not be eaten up by the snake in the sky, and if Og has anything to do about it, it won't.  "Gypsy Davey, One Year" After by Mike Agranoff from Or Would You Rather Get A Job (5:07)Mike Agranoff is a folk teller who “draws his material from sources as diverse as traditional ballads and fiddle tunes, Tin Pan Alley, contemporaries in the Folk World, and his own witty pen.” In this story song he describes the after-story of Gypsy Davey and what happened to him and his family after everything was over. It is a fun tale of sacrifice and new relationships, ever helped by time.  

This week I am sharing a story from Australlia. 'Sun Mother Wakes the World' is an Aboriginal creation story. It explains how the animals, plants, insects, moon, stars, and humans came to be. This reading is based of off the book 'Sun Mother Wakes the World' by Diane Wolkstein. Welcome to the Global Storytime Podcast! Every two weeks I will bring a story from a different corner of the world so that we can get a glimpse into another place and culture. I will do my best to explain the potentially unfamiliar to provide context and will end each episode with some information about the country so we can get to know it better! Comments or critiques are sooo welcome. You can email the show at globalstorytimepodcast@gmail.com. Follow the podcast on Facebook or Instagram @globalstorytimepodcast This episode features traditional Aboriginal songs that feature the didgeridoo. Intro Song: Lewis Burns at the Heart & Mind Festival playing the 'Creation Song' The remaning music pieces are from compilation of Aborinnonal dideridoo songs.

On today's Apple Seed Extra, enjoy a version of the Hans Christian Andersen story "Hans Clodhopper," told by Diane Wolkstein. It's a story, like so many, in which a somewhat hapless hero nevertheless gets the girl (and the crown, too). This one comes with a kazoo fanfare!

On today's Apple Seed Extra, enjoy a telling by Diane Wolkstein of "The Goblin and the Grocer," a story by Hans Christian Andersen.  When a poor student is served cheese and bread wrapped in old poetry, he asks for the full book of poetry instead of the meal. The building's resident goblin watches the student bring the poetry to life by candlelight each evening, and when tasked with saving the building's most important item from a fire, the goblin knows exactly what he must retrieve. This is a very traditional Hans Christian Anderson piece: fantastical, poetic, and a bit odd.

This is the first chapter of a new collaboration between trickster starryteller Gemini Brett and medicine bardess Marya Stark to honor the stories of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, the mysteries of Venus, and the essence of the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine energies that are at the root of our great awakening. Each chapter will include a four element approach: Earth - a reading of Diane Wolkstein and Neil Kramer's Sumerian tablet translations from their book, "Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth." Water - a reflection upon the emotional application of the story for our healing. Air - an astronomical and astrological journey into the correlations of this starry story and the Venus Synodic Cycle (584-day dance of Venus, Earth, and Sun). Fire - a practice for purification and realignment. Seekers and Keepers from all walks of the Way will join the quest.

Tonight your host, that's me, Karen Tate, will have a long-overdue What's the Buzz Segment called Goddess Ecology discussing why religion fears women and a vision beyond the fultures of capitalism and big corporations destroying Mother Earth and our quality of life. Also with us tonight, prolific author and scholar Diane Wolkstein has chosen the show topic:  Inanna, Spiritual Warrior, Approaching the God of Wisdom.  We;'ll delve into Inanna's myth, deciphering Sumerian cuneiform tablets of Inanna's texts, telling Inanna to Joseph Campbell and how to wrest wisdom from our elders.  Diane will read some of the text of "who will plow my volva?" with appropriate context in the Inanna myth as well as the underlying message of Inanna which is compassion.

iane Wolkstein is also the award–winning author of 23 books, including The Magic Orange Tree and Other Haitian Folktales and Inanna, Queen of Heaven, and numerous CDs and DVDs.
