Patreon Series: Rise of the Crusader SpiritEpisode 167: Duke Bonifacio of CanossaToday, we begin unraveling the extraordinary story of Matilda of Canossa—one of the most powerful and complex women in medieval Europe. But before we get to the warrior-countess herself, we lay the foundation with her legendary father, Bonifacio of Canossa, a larger-than-life noble who ruled the heart of Italy like a man born in the wrong epic. This is where Matilda's legacy begins, her origin story —among the castles, chaos, and clout of 11th-century Lombardy.No More Paywalls!

While Death may appear at times terrifying and at other times playful, those he summons almost always tremble with fear. All except one: the Fool. He joins the dance with a smile, laughing at the absurdity of it all. To him, the world is a theatre, and all men and women merely actors, each wearing different social masks to play their roles in society.There is something in the fool that Death appears to admire, something he seeks to imitate. Death, too, likes to play tricks. He does not always come as grim and serious, but often laughing, and dancing, mimicking the fool. Both laugh at human pretensions and the illusion of control over life, bringing down the proud and powerful whenever possible. Death's unsettling grin mirrors the fool's vacant smile or raucous laughter. Together, they embody two universal conditions that many prefer to ignore: mortality and folly. As “truth-tellers”, they show the hard truths hiding beneath everyday life.The fool's joy in life dares to challenge Death's dominion. Though Death always triumphs, it is never without a fierce struggle to overcome one of his most stubborn victims. For the fool embodies life, not death. He laughs at Death, and Death laughs back, but the fool still dances along the track.The fool dancing with death represents the union of opposites, life and death, wisdom and folly—a characteristic of the Self. When we stop seeing contradiction and start recognising paradox, something within us begins to heal. When the opposites are united, bliss arises. This is the true transcendent experience.“There is a mystical fool in me that proved to be stronger than all my science.” - Carl Jung

They also react to a baffling clip from an old children's show, explore the differences between male and female aggression, and hear about Mario's recent marriage—including the surprising culture shock he and his wife experienced.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Scary Spirits Podcast: Celebrating 40 Years of Disney's Dark Fantasy – The Black Cauldron. This week on the Scary Spirits podcast, we dive into the eerie magic of Disney's most haunting animated film, “The Black Cauldron”, as it marks its 40th anniversary! Released in 1985, this cult classic blends dark fantasy, ancient prophecy, and a horned villain with world-ending ambitions. Think “Star Wars” meets “Grimm's Fairy Tales”—but animated. A psychic pig. A wannabe hero. An undead army. Is it horror? Is it fantasy? Or is it something in between? Join hosts Karen and Greg as they explore the film's shadowy legacy, its place in Disney history, and whether it deserves its reputation as one of the studio's boldest missteps—or hidden gems. All while sipping on a spooky, themed Cauldron Cocktail Halloween Drink you won't want to miss! Tune in for nostalgia, laughs, and a touch of the macabre—perfect for fans of dark Disney, retro animation, and Halloween vibes.

Send us a text Yes, This one is being numbered as 11, even though it is coming to you 10th. There has been a pattern to our madness of going around the Great Wheel Model, but with our Producer's computer failures, this is the episode we have ready this month. So when you inevitably listen to the whole season again, listen in numerical order, albeit not release date. In this episode of Lorehaven Hearth, Seth and Celina continue discussions of the Lesser Heavens and Hells, with first the somehow balance but scarcely visited Bytopia, then the utter desolation and isolation that awaits anyone sent to Carceri. Seth and Celina give a brief description and history, cover how to travel to, within, and out (if ever that be achieved), and toss out some ideas of how to use this building block in your own story. And of course, there's a description of some of the (terrifying) creatures you may (not want to) meet there. Lastly, Seth takes a sidestep over to a philosophical discussion, asking why it is that specifically the negative Planes, but all evil places and creatures in general, are more developed and interesting than the good Planes and "good guys". Thank you for sticking around with us, and please enjoy this episode. Season 2 is getting near the end, with big plans to come yet. Watch for episode to drop on "dee-20-eth" of each month, with bonus content coming to you on other fitting days, whenever we have it ready.

Coucou everyone!You've heard the Disney versions — but the original tales? Not quite the same. In this episode of Europhile, we dive into the haunting, bizarre, and surprisingly spiritual world of Hans Christian Andersen. From a mermaid who gives everything up and turns into sea foam, to a thumb-sized girl nearly forced to marry a mole, to a mysterious Snow Queen who's more misunderstood than evil - these are not the stories you thought you knew. No happy endings. Just heartbreak, symbolism, and some of the darkest plots in European fairy tale history. Catherine then tells us about the Scandiavian concept of Logam. Listen now for a fairytale reframe you won't forget!Main topic sources: Hans Christan Andersen's Fairy TalesMini topic sources:Lagom: The Swedish Work-Life Balance Philosophy Lagom - Wikipedia Kate's recommendation: Italian orzata/Latte di Mandorla syrupCatherine's recommendation: Pimm's cupDon't forget to follow us on Instagram & Tiktok :)Cover art and logo by Kate WalkerMixed and edited by Catherine RoehreTheme song by LumehillThank you all - ciao!

Story Transcript:Sv: Solen sken starkt över Skansen den sommardagen.En: The sun shone brightly over Skansen that summer day.Sv: Mikael och Elin promenerade hand i hand genom de livliga grusgångarna.En: Mikael and Elin walked hand in hand through the lively gravel paths.Sv: Det var deras första dejt, och Mikael ville visa Elin sin passion för svensk historia.En: It was their first date, and Mikael wanted to show Elin his passion for Swedish history.Sv: Han hade förberett sig väl och hoppades att imponera på henne.En: He had prepared well and hoped to impress her.Sv: De stannade vid entrén till ett litet område med en skylt som lovade en guidad tur.En: They stopped at the entrance to a small area with a sign promising a guided tour.Sv: "Ska vi gå med?"En: "Shall we join?"Sv: frågade Elin, med ett leende.En: asked Elin with a smile.Sv: Utan att tveka svarade Mikael, "Ja, det låter spännande!"En: Without hesitation, Mikael replied, "Yes, that sounds exciting!"Sv: Men inom några minuter insåg de sitt misstag.En: But within a few minutes, they realized their mistake.Sv: Istället för en historiepromenad för vuxna hade de gått med i en barnturné, fylld med skrattande barn.En: Instead of a historical walk for adults, they had joined a children's tour filled with laughing kids.Sv: En glad guide välkomnade dem: "Välkomna till fabelns värld!En: A cheerful guide welcomed them: "Welcome to the world of fables!Sv: Ni ser båda ut som ni hör hemma här!"En: You both look like you belong here!"Sv: Mikael och Elin kastade en snabb blick på varandra och beslöt att spela med.En: Mikael and Elin exchanged a quick glance and decided to go along with it.Sv: Det skulle vara en oförglömlig upplevelse.En: It would be an unforgettable experience.Sv: Guiden ledde gruppen till en scen inhägnad med gammaldags kulisser.En: The guide led the group to a stage enclosed with old-fashioned backdrops.Sv: "Vi behöver en prinsessa och en riddare", sa guiden och pekade på Elin och Mikael.En: "We need a princess and a knight," said the guide, pointing at Elin and Mikael.Sv: "Ni passar perfekt!"En: "You fit perfectly!"Sv: Elin tog det med ro.En: Elin took it in stride.Sv: Hon satte på sig tiaran och spelade rollen av en modig prinsessa, medan Mikael fumlade med en träsvärd och försökte se heroisk ut.En: She put on the tiara and played the role of a brave princess, while Mikael fumbled with a wooden sword, trying to look heroic.Sv: Hans klumpiga försök orsakade skrattsalvor från barnen, och snart skrattade även Elin och turledarna.En: His clumsy attempts caused rounds of laughter from the children, and soon Elin and the tour leaders were laughing too.Sv: När de nådde fabelföreställningens höjdpunkt, stod Mikael inför en låtsasdrake—en lång pinne med en drakdocka i änden.En: When they reached the climax of the fable performance, Mikael stood before a pretend dragon—a long stick with a dragon puppet at the end.Sv: "Frukta inte, prinsessa!"En: "Fear not, princess!"Sv: utropade han och vågade sig framåt, men snubblade över sina egna fötter.En: he exclaimed and dared to move forward but tripped over his own feet.Sv: Elin skrattade så hon fick tårar i ögonen, och snart befann sig även Mikael omedvetet mitt i skratten.En: Elin laughed until she had tears in her eyes, and soon Mikael found himself in the middle of the laughter as well.Sv: Den improviserade föreställningen avslutades, och applåder fyllde luften.En: The impromptu show concluded, and applause filled the air.Sv: Mikael och Elin tog en djup bugning och återvände till publiken, där barnen omfamnade dem med entusiasm.En: Mikael and Elin took a deep bow and returned to the audience, where the children embraced them with enthusiasm.Sv: På vägen ut från scenen drog Elin Mikael nära.En: On the way off the stage, Elin pulled Mikael close.Sv: "Du klarade det utmärkt", sa hon med glittrande ögon.En: "You did excellently," she said with sparkling eyes.Sv: "Det här är en av de bästa dagarna jag har haft på länge!"En: "This is one of the best days I've had in a long time!"Sv: Mikael log, hans nervositet bortblåst.En: Mikael smiled, his nervousness blown away.Sv: "Det var inte alls som jag hade planerat," medgav han.En: "It wasn't at all what I had planned," he admitted.Sv: "Men vet du, perfektion är kanske överskattad."En: "But you know, perfection might be overrated."Sv: De fortsatte promenera genom Skansen, nu fyllda av ett lättare hjärta och delad glädje.En: They continued walking through Skansen, now filled with lighter hearts and shared joy.Sv: Mellan de gamla stugorna och den svenska sommarens omfamnande atmosfär hade de hittat något speciellt—äventyret de inte ens hade letat efter.En: Between the old cottages and the embracing atmosphere of the Swedish summer, they had found something special—the adventure they hadn't even been looking for.

This week's reading was A Thousand and One Nights, also known as The Arabian Nights. The backstory (very, very briefly) was that a king, upon finding his queen to be unfaithful, executed her, and declared himself done with women, sort of. Every night, a new woman was brought to be his queen. Every morning he had his vizier execute the poor unfortunate girl. One day the vizier's own daughter Scheherazade asked to be married to the king. After many days of begging, the vizier finally gave in to the girl's request.Once in the king's bedchamber, her sister (it's kind of complicated) asked for a story. Scheherazade spun a tale but ended it at a cliffhanger. The king, wanting to hear the end of the story, decided to let her live and bring her back for a second night. With stories that included Sinbad, Ali Baba and Aladdin, Scheherazade lived a thousand and one (and more) nights.The actual stories are collected from around the 8th century until the 13th, from Persia and India predominantly. They were translated into English around the 17th century. I'd imagine that the exotic stories captivated European audiences!For me, the experience of reading the stories was similar to reading Grimm's Fairy Tales. The stories are fun, and very interesting—I loved some of them, especially the seven voyages of Sinbad. But when I say they didn't leave a mark, I just don't think I'll take a lot from this week's reading. I didn't find any of them to demonstrate particular lessons, to teach virtues or make some kind of grand statement about the human condition. They were really fun, and I will definitely keep this book around because it is terrific bedtime reading. That's not a terrible thing to say about a book.A year ago I read the wonderful Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri, about a little Iranian boy who emigrates to Oklahoma with his mom and brother. There are vignettes in which the author directly references these stories, related as a way for him to hold onto his Persian heritage. I do think I'll go back and reread that one, just because I really loved it and would like to be able to know it a little better. Now that I've read Arabian Nights, that should be easy.LINKDaniel Nayeri, author of Everything Sad is UntrueTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

This week we are back with the second part of our remix of Angelina and Thomas' podcast series on Harry Potter: Book 1 by J. K. Rowling. This week we are covering chapters 3-7. Angelina opens the book discussion with an overview of the literary motifs used by Rowling in the Harry Potter books to help modern readers better understand these kinds of stories. One of the motifs she highlights is the identity quest and how we see Harry on a journey of the soul. She also shares some thoughts on the fairy tale “magic” of these stories in contrast to actual witchcraft as well as the symbolism used to show us that this is a fairy world. Thomas and Angelina talk about the characters we meet in these chapters, including the symbolism of some of their names. Other ideas discussed in this episode include the importance of alchemy, the Gothic literary tradition, the layers of the quest, the rise of the fantasy genre, and so much more! Visit HouseofHumaneLetters.com for updates on classes with Angelina, Thomas, and other members of their teaching team.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two brothers who sought to build a collection of stories that while both mystical and dark, were also tales of morals and values. Join Dave and Greg as they look at some of those iconic tales and discuss the contrast to the Disney versions they developed into as well as the idea of why these stories have been made less dark and violent over the years.

Wednesday Night Live 4 June 2025In this episode, I explore themes of parenting, politics, relationships, morality, and personal integrity. I respond to a listener's question about children's literature, particularly Grimm's Fairy Tales, discussing their depth in familial dynamics. I share my reluctance to engage in contemporary political discourse, critiquing the trend of viewing integrity through a cult-like lens.We delve into modern relationship dynamics, noting how societal pressures can lead men to feel "on strike" regarding commitment. I argue for the importance of philosophy in understanding morality, challenging the idea that science alone can define ethical standards.Listeners can expect insights into the roots of dysfunctional relationship patterns linked to childhood experiences, highlighting the significance of self-worth and authenticity in connections. This episode encourages a re-evaluation of personal beliefs and moral integrity in today's complex world.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

“I tell kids that books are not there to torment you. The author has to get you in the first ten pages. If they do not, they fail, because a book is like a lawnmower—you pull it, and either it starts or it doesn't start.” –Soman ChainaiSoman Chainani wants reading to feel irresistible. The bestselling author of "The School for Good and Evil," series and the recently released graphic novel, "Coven," shares how his own reading life began—powered by Anne Rice, Michael Crichton, and a complete lack of adult supervision—and how those early obsessions shaped his belief that stories should be bold, boundary-pushing, and personal.In this episode, Soman explains why middle grade books can (and should) feel dangerous, how his grandmother's glamorous storytelling shaped his imagination, and what a book needs to do in its first ten pages to hook a reader. He also unpacks the “moral grayness” that defines his favorite novels and his own writing, and makes a compelling case for why kids need more honesty, not less, in the stories we give them.Tune in for a fast-paced episode that includes Madonna, hot takes, and tips for breaking (all) the rules. ***Soman's reading challenge, Immersive, is all about getting lost in a story. The books he curated blur the line between fiction and reality, pulling the reader in so completely you forget the world around you.

Dopey, Happy, and a cold-blooded killer. Yes, Disney's 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was quite the mix of spectacle, song, and skull-filled dungeons. Yet we remember it as fun for the whole family. But now, nearly 90 years later, how does this hand-drawn delight hold up in our Pixar'ed world? Do the doodles feel dated? Is all the death talk too much by today's G-Rated standards? And why does that catty Magic Mirror have such a chip on his shoulder? The Old Roommates whistle while they revisit the animated classic through their middle-aged lens.

Welcoming back Danielle today for a conversation about fairy tales as living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick. In The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today's world. Rich with insight and a deep reverence for the ancestral art of storytelling, Dulsky's latest work reclaims the hidden power of fairy tales as spell books, treasure chests, and sacred rites.Historically kept and transmitted by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales for their magickal and supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial domestic fantasies for women and children. The Night House illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter's noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their ancient and sacred wisdom. Each of The Night House's nine chapters is a door to an otherworldly realm, unveiling the spiritual and practical magick embedded in tales like “Little Red Riding Hood “and “Cinderella.” By decoding their “glamour spells” and ancestral rites, Dulksy offers a path for readers to reconnect with the Earth, their ancestors, and their own spirits. Mythic images and Jungian universal archetypes arise, and “old ways” are made visible, revealing the call to continue the medicinal work of story keeping for the modern world. Find Danielle: The Night House: https://amzn.to/3R7NuP3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wolfwomanwitchWebsite: DanielleDulsky.ComDanielle Dulsky is the author of The Night House and numerous other titles including Woman Most Wild, The Holy Wild Grimoire, and Bones & Honey. A heathen visionary, painter, poet, storyteller, and word-witch, she teaches internationally and has facilitated circles, embodiment trainings, communal spell work, and seasonal rituals since 2007. She is the founder of The Hag School and believes in the emerging power of wild collectives and sudden circles of curious dreamers, cunning witches, and rebellious artists in healing our ailing world.
Anyone digging into fairy tales soon discovers that there's more to these stories of magic and wonder than meets the eye. Often thought of as stories for children, the narratives can be shockingly violent, and they sometimes deliver messages or "morals" at odds with modern sensibilities. In this episode, Jacke talks to Kimberly Liu about her book Specters of the Marvelous: Race and the Development of the European Fairy Tale, which reveals the historical racial context that profoundly influenced these ubiquitous stories. PLUS Rolf Hellebust (How Russian Literature Became Great) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.
