On his 25th wedding anniversary, Jeff tucks his daughter Micah into bed and tells her a fairy tale — except this one is true. It's the story of how he met her mother. In this episode, that story unfolds: a freshman art history class in 1988, a late entrance, a grapefruit, and instant infatuation. Jeff traces 25 years of courtship, marriage, and three daughters through fable, wit, and unvarnished tenderness, closing on a wish Micah won't fully understand until she's older. This is the fourth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

The Moon pulls the tides of the ocean, but the question that won't let us go is simpler and stranger: what is it pulling in us? Melanie Reinhart joins me for a wide, grounded, moonlit ramble through lunar consciousness, astrology, and the body. We start with the moon as a constant companion for earthlings, a reliable rhythm of waxing and waning that can steady us when life feels politically, personally, and collectively turbulent.From there, we drop into somatic territory. We talk craniosacral therapy and the experience of “tides” in the system, from surface noise to the deeper mid tide and the long tide where time feels different. That becomes a living metaphor for the lunar path: not a heroic push to achieve, but a deepening that restores life force. We also bring in the Orphic Hymn to the Moon as an invocation practice and explore why reverence matters, not as an antique idea but as a way to relate to powers we still live inside.We get practical about moon phases too: the dark of the moon as a window for retreat, the full moon as an emotional amplifier, and how lunar timing can support better choices in work, conflict, learning, and creativity. We move into dreams as night-world digestion, why forcing interpretations can block the nourishment, and how light pollution mirrors a cultural forgetting of darkness, sleep, and imagination. If you care about the lunar cycle, dreamwork, depth psychology, the Jungian unconscious, or the roots of astrology in the night sky, this conversation is for you.*the above blurb was auto-generated by Buzzsprout's AI.Cover Artwork is The Fairy of the moon by Hermann Kaulbach (b&w) circa 1891 with a background extension from Canva.The Orphic Hymns including the one in this episode dedicated to the moon, and the invocation with Musaeus. It's the Thomas Taylor translation from 1792. Melanie's personal favourite.Find out more about Melanie and her work here. She has many great books including, famously, Chiron and the Healing Journey.Melanie reads from:Dane Rudhyar, The Lunation Cycle: A Key to the Understanding of Personality, from the section “The Pattern of the Lunation Cycle.”Rudolf Steiner, “In Pure Rays of Light” The verse appears in Esoteric Instructions (GA 264), with related commentary in an esoteric lesson of 5 December 1907 (GA 266/I).We discuss:Iain McGilchrist's book: The Master and his Emissary and associate right brain activity with the moon and left brain with Mercury.Jung, obviously, comes up a lot. I paraphrase this quotation from him.We also talk about the Tides in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. If you'd like to know more about that the work of Franklyn Sills (may he rest in peace) is a good starting point.Clearing up the confusion of the 'far side' vs the 'dark side' of the moon we go to NASA...But always appreciative to Pink Floyd for creating such confusion but also such a cracking album.Melanie also mentions the Dark Sky Movement. Such important work. Have a look at darksky.org.We also acknowledge that "mentor" is not etymologically related to Mene or taurus. What we're engaging in during that section is a nice bit of folk etymology.Join the Newsletter!Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Among the unique artifacts held in the collections of the Auschwitz Memorial are fairy tales created while the camp was in operation. Crafted out of a heartfelt need, and in the hope of leaving behind a trace of their authors, these stories were smuggled out the camp. Their creators were prisoners employed in the camp's Construction Office. With the help of people on the outside, they passed these fairy tales on to their loved ones. The story behind the fairy tales from Auschwitz is told by Jadwiga Kulasza, a retired employee of the Memorial Archives, as well as family members of the authors: Felicjan Świerczyna, son of Bernard Świerczyna, and Andrzej Czulda, son of Henryk Czulda.=====Voiceovers: Greg Littlefield, Michael Takiff, Kate Weinrieb
In 1895, Bridget Cleary — young, educated, and a little too stylish for County Tipperary's liking — fell ill with a fever. Within days, her husband and neighbours had convinced themselves she'd been taken by the fairies and a changeling left in her place. What followed was a week of forced "cures," a hot poker, and a fire. Drawing on Angela Bourke's The Burning of Bridget Cleary, this episode traces how a community's belief in the good people curdled into horror — and sets up the trial that would follow.

Send us Fan MailMy son lost two teeth in two days, and received $5 for each tooth. He decided all on his own he didn't need both $5 bills, he wanted to give one of them to God. So he did, and yet right after doing so, was given another $5 from someone else. God is a generous God, and he wants his people to be generous too. But here is the kicker - those who are will be the ones that God blesses. God loves a cheerful giver, and he will continue to bless those who will honor him with these blessings. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast
"American Fairy Tales" by L. Frank Baum presents a collection of fantasy stories that were originally serialized in regional newspapers, showcasing a tone that is more satirical and tongue-in-cheek than typical children's tales. While these stories may lack the high-fantasy elements found in Baum's renowned Oz series, they are rich with ironic or nonsensical morals that challenge conventional thinking. The collection's unique blend of humor and critique resonates with modern audiences, encouraging listeners to reflect on societal norms and expectations. Baum's ability to weave satire into fantasy makes this audiobook a timeless exploration of the absurdities of life, making it a worthy listen for both young and adult audiences today.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Jeremy Harte — folklorist, winner of the Catherine Briggs Folklore Award, curator of Bourne Hall Museum in Surrey, and author of Cloven Country: The Devil in the English Landscape and Travelers Through Time: A Gypsy History — to discuss his remarkable new book Treasures on Earth: Buried Wealth in the English Landscape, published by Reaktion Books. Jeremy has spent his career chasing the uncanny side of the English landscape, and in this book he has gathered hundreds of treasure legends together for the first time — organizing them not by region or date but by emotion: memory, ruin, strife, terror, failure, and longing. The result is one of the most original and quietly brilliant books on English folklore in years, and the conversation it generates is irresistible: Why did people surround buried gold with dragons, black hens, and demons? What does the moment a laborer on the River Ribble accidentally uncovered a Viking army's war chest have in common with Oak Island? Why is the folklore always cruelest at the very last minute? What is the real fantasy underneath the search for treasure — not gold, but escape, freedom, and the dream of never having to work again? And what does the figure of Mackenzie Crook's Detectorists, swinging their machines over Essex fields and dreaming of Saxon gold, tell us about the ancient human urge that these legends have always mapped? Links Treasures on Earth by Jeremy Harte (Reaktion Books) Cloven Country: The Devil in the English Landscape by Jeremy Harte Travelers Through Time: A Gypsy History by Jeremy Harte Bourne Hall Museum, Ewell, Surrey The Cuerdale Hoard The Rillaton Cup Detectorists — Mackenzie Crook (BBC/AcornTV) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Treasure legends are not really about gold. They are, as Jeremy Harte argues throughout, about the emotions that surround gold — longing, memory, failure, terror, and the fantasy of transformation. The stories survived because of what they did to the people who told and heard them, not because of any actual buried wealth. The Cuerdale Hoard — the largest Viking silver hoard ever found in Britain, unearthed by laborers straightening the River Ribble in the 1840s — is one of the most powerful examples of how real treasure finds retrospectively generate legends. Almost all treasure "traditions" that seem to predict a find are only recorded after the find is made. The classic Anglo-Saxon image of the dragon sitting on a barrow of gold — doing nothing but guarding it forever, sacrificing whatever life a dragon might have — is, Jeremy argues, an early cultural articulation of what happens when treasure takes over a human life. The same psychology drives Oak Island today. Treasure guardians shift with the centuries — dragons and giants give way to fairies, then to demons, then to ghosts — not randomly but in response to what each era finds believable. A legend must sit in the zone between "obviously true" and "obviously made up" to function: too real and it's history, too fantastic and it's a fairy tale. The dissolution of the monasteries did not immediately generate treasure legends. It took fifty to a hundred years for the trauma to work its way into folklore — appearing in ghost monks, ruined abbey atmosphere, and stories of gold thrown into ponds or bricked up in tunnels. Society, like individuals, needs time to process collective shock before it becomes story. Mary Parrish, a "brandy-loving London cunning woman," and Goodwin Wharton, the gullible aristocrat she led on a years-long quest for fairy gold — documented entirely from Wharton's own obsessive diary — are perhaps the most human pair in the book. Wharton was simultaneously a reasonably successful MP, raised money from syndicates, and organized diving bells off the Scottish coast for Armada treasure. Jeremy describes their relationship as "a con, but also a love story." The folk cruelty of treasure legends — the fortune always snatched away by one tiny mistake, a single word spoken, one black hair on a white ox — is not random. These stories circulated among communities who had not done well for themselves. The unkindness of fate felt true to their experience. The treasure was always just out of reach because that was always true. The real fantasy of treasure, Jeremy argues, is not wealth but escape — to become a gentleman, meaning someone visibly unencumbered by the need to work. The problem for many of the poor communities generating these legends was that even if they found a single coin, they could not spend it without someone asking where it came from. Less than 10% of records are digital — a parallel to archaeology, where the vast majority of objects are still in the ground. Metal detectorists and archaeologists have more in common than either entirely admits: both are animated by the same desire to find something and to validate themselves through the finding. The difference is in what they're willing to record and share. The book closes with the gardener at Wallingford who dug for buried treasure in his spare time until one day they found a fresh hole, his spade and gloves beside it, and the man himself was never seen again. Jeremy chose this image deliberately: "It was almost like, if I'd been giving a talk, it would have been time for me to wave bye-bye and disappear behind a curtain." Soundbites "Treasure is so potent it doesn't have to exist to destabilize human life. Most of the hordes in the book will never be found because they were never there." — Jeremy on the central argument of the book. "You find an Iron Age gold coin and it was — if it had been anything else, it would have been archaeology. It was the gold that made that different emotive feeling. And I thought I ought to be exploring that a bit." — Jeremy on the moment in the dried-out lake that started it all. "Think about the Anglo-Saxon dragon. He does nothing but guard gold, and sacrifices whatever a dragon life would be to just sit there forever in the darkness on the treasure. I thought, yeah, there is a common theme here." — Jeremy on why Oak Island and the dragon barrow are the same story. "It has to be the kind of thing you can announce in the pub and there will be a lively discussion with people banging down their pints and going, well bits of it could be true. It has to sit in that zone — too real and it's just history, too fantastic and it's a fairy tale." — Jeremy on what makes a legend work. "Mary Parrish — we have an entirely one-sided record. Goodwin Wharton was the literary half of the partnership. He even organized diving bells to try to dig up the treasure of the Armada off the coast of Scotland. And at the same time he is a fairly successful MP making his way up in government. Leading me to wonder what secrets might possibly lie in the diaries of some of our present members." — Jeremy on the Mary Parrish and Goodwin Wharton story. "People telling stories about lost treasure — the poorer the community, the more likely they are to be doing it. There's a sense of the unkindness of fate. People who had mastered fate and done quite well for themselves were sitting in the other corner and not contacting the gentleman with the story." — Jeremy on why treasure legends cluster around poverty. "The dissolution of the monasteries is recorded historically, basically day by day. What happened to the stuff is pretty well recorded. But it's not until well into the seventeenth century that you get the tropes of the monastic ghost, the buried treasures, the ghost monks. It took fifty to a hundred years for the trauma to work its way into folklore." — Jeremy on how collective trauma becomes legend. "The fantasy is to become a gentleman. Gentlemen are conspicuously visible in the countryside as people who wander around having no apparent need to work at anything whatsoever. Which of course is why they can go around collecting folk tales." — Jeremy on the real dream underneath treasure hunting. "When I actually go on site, my skepticism rolls away after about five miles walking. And I'm like, ooh, let's just have a quick look underneath here. There's a patch of dirt here. Let's just check. And I thought it'd be terribly embarrassing if I did actually find a hoard of gold. It's like — yeah, publicity exercise." — Jeremy's most English answer to whether he believes any treasure is really out there. "He'd disappeared and it was almost like, if I'd been giving a talk, it would have been time for me to wave bye-bye and disappear behind a curtain and go out the back." — Jeremy on why he ended the book with the vanishing gardener of Wallingford.

How can we find the Divine in everyday life? Friends, spiritual seekers, and Fairy & Flame Podcast hosts Kasey Hodges and Kathryn Camsey join A Psychic's Story to explore intuition, healing, consciousness, signs from Spirit, and how each of us can cultivate a deeper relationship with the Divine. Is the Divine found only in extraordinary mystical experiences? Or is it quietly present in the everyday moments we often overlook? Is a deep spiritual connection something available to all of us? How do we learn to trust our intuition, recognize signs, and deepen our connection with something greater than ourselves? Kasey and Kathryn share their very different spiritual journeys — from growing up in a Pentecostal healing tradition and rediscovering spirituality later in life to childhood experiences with fairies, psychic development, and a lifelong fascination with the unseen world. Along with Nichole, they discuss why they believe spirituality isn't about escaping everyday life, but about becoming more fully present within it. One of the most meaningful takeaways from this conversation is that our connection with the Divine isn't reserved for extraordinary experiences. It's something we can cultivate every day by becoming more present, trusting our intuition, and noticing the signs already surrounding us. In this episode, you'll learn: Why spirituality isn't about escaping everyday life but becoming more fully present within it. How signs and synchronicities can strengthen your trust in Spirit. Why creating space through healing and presence allows intuition to flourish. How childhood spiritual experiences can shape our relationship with the unseen. The connection between faith, spirituality, and living a more conscious life. Why the most meaningful spiritual experiences often happen in the simplest moments.

For the final episode in our 26 part A-Z of mythical creatures we're slipping into some liminal spaces to talk about Fairies!Starting with the question of what even is "a fairy" and how did that word come to be?Should we think of them as handsome and seductive, like in the Romantasy genre, or as nature spirits that need feeding with human blood, via your sourdough starter?Do we still identify with the pagan idea of fairies shaping human destiny as they fancy, or the post-Reformation concept of the fairy as a form of beautiful ghost seeking to lead us to damnation?For most people today they're icons of cuteness and childish whimsy, but why did the Victorians shrink them down and give them wings?Also, why does nobody explain the rules of Fairyland in any Fairy Tales, and what makes marriage so important in so many tales about these poor, fallen, yet somehow powerful creatures?With examples from Ancient Rome to Medieval chronicles, Witch Trial transcripts to the case of the Cottingley Fairies, join us to explore how 'The Fairy' ultimately reflects the shape of human consciousness era-to-era.So feed your green child her broad beans, don't get off your horse until your fairy dog does, and toss your wishes into the river, as it's a topic befitting the end of this series - massive, but also tiny, and constantly transforming to mirror the strange shape of life in the real world...We also hope you increasingly pleased by our new Bestiary episode art, as drawn by our good friend Tom Peteuil of Creature Castle - check out brand new Fairy merch here and visit the Creature Castle shop for prints and other wonderful things here.Speak to you again on Thursday for this week's Lang Fairy Tale triple bill all before Saturday's Local Legends interview with author and Fairy Whisperer Karen Kay!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, we take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Ireland takes Faeries seriously. Don't believe me? Take a drive down one of its largest highways, and you'll notice the road diverting around a certain tree favored by the Fair Folk. While we often refer to stories as “just fairy tales,” Irish culture knows that they should not be so easily dismissed, as they demonstrate our relationship to the world beyond the ordinary.The close to our Ireland series explores Faeries (Fairies, Sidhe, Aos Sí, Good People) in Irish folklore. History, mythology, folktales, and stories of personal experience paint a picture of the liminal world outside our grasp.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:20 Spirit of the Night by John Atkinson Grimshaw00:35 Hawthorn at Wall, Lichfield, from the Lines Family Sketchbook01:06 Female Dancer in Fairy Ocnstume by Sergey Chekhonin01:19 The Fair Folk01:37 Leprechauns at Blarney Castle, photographed by CEllen, licensed under Creative Commons01:45 Illustration from Celtic Fairy Tales by John Dickson Batten01:51 Iris by John Atkinson Grimshaw02:24 The Banshee Appears by R Prowse02:35 La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Henry Meynell Rheam02:40 Riders of the Sidhe by John Duncan03:39 The Garden of Paradise, Fairy of the Garden by Edmund Dulac03:58 Spirited Away04:07 At That Moment She Was Changed by Magic to a Wonderful Little Fairy by John Bauer04:54 Illustration from Myths and Legends; The Celtic Race by Stephen Reid05:11 The Stolen Child by George William Russell05:31The Stolen Child by William Butler Yeats05:44 The Sleeping Princess by John Duncan06:53 Crossing The Sea08:22 Dullahan, the Headless Horseman, by William Henry Brooke09:08 Conclusion: The Liminal World09:32 Illustration from Irish Fairy Tales by Arthur Rackham09:53 Puck and the Fairies by R DaddAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.

Beyond his lifelong love of art and comics, Jason's life has been consumed with the study of archaeology, cryptozoology, ufology, and astronomy in order to better understand the Bible, its teachings, and the One behind its creation.Visit Jason's official website here: https://sirupapers.com/That's right Dean's partner on the old Mysterious Library show returns once more to the Untold Radio Network for this special episode, where he addresses the topic "Folklore is not Phenomena".As Jason suggests, "folklore tells us more about the worldview and assumptions of the culture encountering a phenomenon than the anything about the phenomenon itself."Jason and Dean look at this conundrum, in the kind of fun, insightful, and fast-moving conversation which long time viewers/listeners have come to expect from from the duo.
Have you ever wondered why certain stories stay with us throughout our lives?Why are some of us drawn to stories about dragons, enchanted forests, lost voices, impossible journeys, and characters trying to discover who they truly are?In this episode of The Inner Glow Podcast, I explore the fascinating psychology of fairy tales, myths, fantasy stories, and archetypes, and what they might reveal about our own lives, fears, strengths, and personal journeys.Drawing on ideas from thinkers such as Carl Jung, Bruno Bettelheim, and Joseph Campbell, we'll explore the symbolism of the forest, the dragon, and the journey itself, as well as the psychological themes hidden within stories such as The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella.Whether you love traditional fairy tales, fantasy novels, romantasy, mythology, or simply enjoy exploring the deeper meaning behind the stories that move us, this episode invites you to look at your favourite stories—and perhaps yourself—in a new way.I'd love to hear from you: what story has stayed with you throughout your life, and why do you think that might be?Claim Your Free Hypnosis Recording: "Crowned in Confidence"

Chores. Nobody's favourite topic. But possibly the most underrated parenting tool in the whole toolkit.In this episode Stephanie makes the case that chores are not really about having a clean house. They are about belonging. About raising kids who understand that families are not hotels, that everyone is crew, not passengers, and that the work of keeping a life running well is something you learn young or struggle with later.From the "item on the stair" hack that never worked, to the dishwasher rotation that taught the golden rule better than any conversation could, to watching her adult son plan his cleaning day from across the country, this episode is honest, warm and grounded in twenty+ years of real family life.Including the research finding that the best predictor of a young adult's success in their mid-twenties was whether they did household chores at age three or four.Not grades. Not sport. Chores.There are no magic fairies. Teaching our kids this might be one of the most loving things we ever do.Lazy Parenting Podcast | Episode 82 | lazyparenting.ca | @lazyparenting

It's metaphysical weirdness dressed as adventure. Monsters (2010) – Borders, otherness, creeping vastness. The Voice in the Night – William Hope Hodgson Sea horror. Isolation. Transformation. Hodgson makes the ocean feel biologically alien. Underwater (2020) – Ancient things below human scale.

The old gods of Ireland never really died — they went under the hills, and people learned not to say their name. We follow the Tuatha Dé into folklore, where they become the fairies, the Sídhe, the Good People — and take the first step towards the changeling and the 1895 killing of Bridget Cleary.The episode cover image is a hawthorn tree, famously associated with fairies in Ireland.

It always felt somewhat incomplete; the Fistful of Fairies series here on What Magic is This? Podcast was in need of a revisitation. While the series went in many major and important directions, an overarching History of the supernatural entities which we call fairies just wasn't there. And so, for the 7th anniversary of the podcast, and with the release of the wonderful book Fairies: A History by Dr. Francis Young, as well as with his help- this oversight shall be addressed and the Fistful shall be completed.
In the world of the Fae, one term strikes fear in to humans that find themselves tangled up in the mysterious ways of the Fae, The Fairy Court, held by both the Unseelie and Seelie Fairy's and both with no guarantee you'll get your freedom back! The Seelie and Unseelie courts have become a staple in fiction and a common idea in pop culture, yet their origins and how they were and are understood in Scottish folklore have become obscure. The Fairy Courts discusses the history of belief as it is traced from the 1500s to today, concluding with a chapter about the ways that folk belief and anecdotes show us how a human might survive in a fairy court.Joining us to unpick the myths and misinformation is of course, the marvellous Morgan Daimler.

This week's featured story comes from the So Many Fairies collection. It's called "The Strawberry Farm."

John welcomes Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, Jr. to discuss his new book, "America, U.S.A.: How Race Shadows the Nation's Anniversaries.” Glaude lays out the historical pattern of evasion and erasure that the impending MAGA-soaked Semiquincentennial celebration fits into; the meaning of the book's incendiary opening sentence (”I do not love America, and never have, especially now”); and Juneteenth's place on the commemorative calendar. On the heels of the Obama Presidential Center's opening, Glaude offers another controversial take: that 44's tenure was little more than “Clintonism in blackface.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
