VYS0062 | Rabbit Trap: Sounds Like a Spell - Vayse to Face with Bryn Chainey - Show Notes In 2025 an independent film was released that blew the minds of experiencers, occult communities and connoisseur's of Weird Stuff alike - that film was Rabbit Trap, a darkly melancholic and hauntingly beautiful meditation on love, trauma and the power of the natural world, both discovered and undiscovered, to brutalise and heal in even measure, with equal ferocity and sometimes even at the same time. The man who write and directed Rabbit Trap was Bryn Chainey and in this episode he talks to Vayse. Bryn guides Hine and Buckley on a journey through the film making process, what inspired him to make this gorgeous and deeply weird film, how he made it look so good, how he made it sound so good, how he got such incredible performances from the the three lead actors and what it means to make a film with heart. And then on slightly more familiar ground for Vayse listeners Bryn talks about what it means to him to be "weird", how fantasy can provide an from reality but can also show a way to see the world more clearly, the power of the genus loci, how music is magic... and why one of his greatest fears is to have "Happy Birthday" sung at him...

Seven years ago last Tuesday, The Emerald podcast was born. This episode reflects on the journey of the podcast so far and gives hints of what's to come, all through the prism of the number 7, which is — to say the least — a mythically important number. The myths often iterate in cycles and families of seven—seven swans, seven dwarves, seven ravens, and seven gates of the underworld. In many traditions, seven represents the completion of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. In Ayurveda, in order for something to be fully embodied, it must pass through seven dhatus, or tissue layers. In many traditions, initiates pass through a journey of seven stages. This recurring 'journey through seven' is not just arbitrary, it is a reflection of nature itself, which often repeats in cycles of seven. The ancients saw seven at play in the architecture of the cosmos, in the musical scales and the spectrum of light and in a world that they saw as expressing through seven cosmic layers. The vision of seven as a number of threshold, passage, and reconnection can be understood through the numerical and geometric attributes of seven itself, which displays strange characteristics not found in any other number. Featuring Nivedita Gunturi singing the seven-note scale progressions of Hindustani and Carnatic music, and excerpts of beloved stories of seven, this episode is a celebration of seven years of The Emerald, and a preparation for what's to come. Support the show

“That's the kind of story, that's the kind of image that I'm talking about—that really just sinks into you and won't let go,” says psychologist Sharon Blackie. Today, Blackie returns to discuss her new book Ripening: Why Women Need Fairytales Now. Once again, her perspective is helping me make sense of who we are at different stages of our lives.

On Pentecost Sunday, we reflect on Jesus' invitation to the thirsty: to come to Him and drink. In a world full of escapism, exhaustion, and temporary sources of hope, Jesus offers something deeper and lasting through the Holy Spirit. This message reminds us that God does not just fill us for our own refreshment, but so that His living water can overflow through us into the world around us.

In this installation of Forgotten Fairytales, we explore neglected 19th century writer Mary de Morgan and one of her stories. The Toy Princess follows a princess who grew up away from her kingdom, returning to discover that her father has replaced her with an enchanted, wooden look-alike. What's more, the people of the kingdom much prefer this living doll–– that is complacent and quiet––to the real princess, who has real emotions and opinions. After our re-creation of the tale, join us for a conversation with dramaturg and theatre professor Caitlyn Halvorsen!CREWProducer: Eden BogenAudio Recordist: AbbeyRose ConklinWriter: Bee MessinEditor: Hayley NeessenCASTUrsula, the Toy Princess, and Villager 1: Hayley NeessenTaboret: Eden BogenThe Queen: AbbeyRose ConklinThe King: Chase WashingtonOliver: Cole RobertsThe Shopkeeper: Danny ButtThe Chancellor: Eric MorganVillager 2: Tom SmithNarration and adaptation by Bee Messin

Sharon Blackie is one of our foremost fairy tale interpreters.  In her new book, “Ripening: Why Women Need Fairy Tales Now,” she reclaims the subversive fairy tale heroines of the past.  Not passive, well-behaved princesses — think Tatterhood instead of Cinderella, the Fox Wife instead of Sleeping Beauty — figures from centuries-old European folk tales that were whispered over hearths and spinning wheels, and handed down from one generation of women to the next, not as children's entertainment but a blueprint for survival, maps for soul retrieval and cultural regeneration. The brave, smart heroines and wise old women in these tales offer us an alternative, “post-heroic” model of psychological development, Blackie says. A code of ethics based on kinship with the more-than-human world of animals and plants, and a celebration of old-fashioned virtues like compassion, kindness and reciprocity. Fairy tale heroines, Blackie says, don't slay dragons — they make them part of the team. Fairy tales are part of our collective unconscious, a storehouse of archetypes and images that predate the modern world.  There's a bridge back to the enchanted landscapes and animist sensibilities of our ancestors — a gateway to wonder.  In this conversation, Blackie shows us how to unlock their power and find our way back the imaginal world. – Website "The Art of Enchantment" Substack  "Ripening: Why Women Need Fairy Tales Now"  The Nostos Institute Sharon's other books –0:00 Introduction2:25 Why Fairy Tales Are Survival Stories12:25 Beyond the Hero's Journey27:05 Jung, Hillman, and the Imaginal World41:45 Active Imagination and Closing Thanks Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

This week on Local Legends Martin is chatting with author, historian and globally-renowned fairy expert Dr Simon Young.After training as a Medieval Historian, Simon gradually became a 'Supernaturalist' - someone who spends a lot of time collecting and comparing data, often from historical sources, detailing interactions between human beings and the supernatural. From boggarts to fairies, Simon's research and several wonderful books have identified a number of changes in beliefs over time - not least the point at which fairies suddenly grew wings.Fairytales meanwhile are a whole other thing, and not something Simon has spent much time with since his own childhood. So, what does the fairy expert recognise and respond to in the stories of the Red Fairy Book of Nora and Andrew Lang? Which are his favourite stories from the set, and why? Moreover, what else might these 'tales' be doing, as distinct from 'legends' about similar subjects?We very much hope that you enjoy the conversation, and will speak to you again on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday this coming week - as per usual!Read Simon's British Mythology Substack: https://britishmythology.substack.com/Complete the Fairy Census: https://www.fairyist.com/survey/The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, 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, the pair 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.

For Episode 173, Chris and Alex introduce the films of Michel Ocelot with this close look at the filmmaker's successful animated adventure film - loosely based on a West African folktale - Kirikou and the Sorceress (Michel Ocelot, 1998). The discussion into the film's articulation of magical realism, power, and struggle features special guest Lewis C. Seifert, who is Professor of French and Francophone Studies at Brown University. Lewis' research interests encompass early Modern France, gender and sexuality studies, folk narratives, and the environmental humanities, and he is the author of Fairy Tales, Sexuality, and Gender in France, 1690-1715: Nostalgic Utopias (Cambridge University Press, 1996) and Manning the Margins: Masculinity and Writing in Seventeenth-Century France (University of Michigan Press, 2009). Listen as the trio reflect on hyperrealism, Ocelot's expressive and experimental pictorial styles, and the structural influence of fables upon the narrative; registers of innocence and intelligence in the depiction of Kirikou; tensions between the individual and the disassociation of community, alongside the function of empathy and superstition within the status of magic; and the possible risks of reading Kirikou and the Sorceress through a predominantly orientalist and essentialist lens. **This episode was produced and edited by Menelik Thaim-Lee* **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts** **As featured on MillionPodcast's Best 10 UK Animation Podcasts and Best 60 Movie Podcasts in the UK**

The term ‘Hitopadesha' is a combination of two Sanskrit terms, ‘Hita' (welfare/ benefit) and ‘Upadesha' (counsel). As the term suggests, The Hitopadesha is a collection of tales that gives good counsel.Hitopadesa was presumably written by Narayan Pandit and is an independent treatment of the Vishnu Sarman's Panchatantra (3rd century BC) which it resembles in form. In Hitopadesha, Vishnu Sarman is depicted as a Sage who undertakes to give good counsel to the sons of Sudarsana, the king of Pataliputra, through stories within stories involving talking animals. The dating of Hitopadesha is problematic as no other work by Narayan Pandit is known. The earliest manuscript of Hitopadesha dates from 1373; it could be of East Indian origin during the Pala Empire (8th-12th centuries).This book is a condensed but faithful transcript of Hitopadesha in sense and manner rendered in English by Sir Edwin Arnold. Sir Edwin says in the Preface that the Hitopadesa may be styled 'The father of all Fables'; for "from its numerous translations come Esop and Piplay and in latter days, 'Reineke Fuchs'."

Does the nickname "baby" bother us? Why yes, yes it does. But we've got to admit, Dirty Dancing is an excellent example of the heroine's journey, as well as female archetypes and how women are presented in stories.

Polygonal shapes. Where do they come from? What do they want from us? Is there any way to escape their tyranny, the rigid strictures of those euclidean forms? I've heard, though only in rumor, that you can easily defeat some shapes by collapsing them in on themselves... I'm not sure exactly how to do that, but there is one thing I'm certain of: Arcueid and Ciel really should complete the final line of this love triangle and kiss each other.This month, Sara and Runa finish our journey through Tsukihime (for now) as they read through the Ciel route in the original version of the game. As with our Arcueid route coverage, this episode focuses on contrasting each version of Ciel's route,  examining the character and plot changes between them, and considering each major choice in the adaptation and remake process. How different does the original Ciel route feel without Noel and the other characters added in the remake? Does Arcueid feel as compelling in the original Ciel route as she did in the remake Ciel route? How do Ciel's relationships and connections feel in the original compared to the remake? And also, perhaps most importantly, how many cool fight scenes does she get?This episode will feature extensive spoilers for both the Ciel route and Arcueid routes in both version of the game, so please take care when listening. If you haven't checked out our previous Tsukihime episodes yet, you should do that first so that you can follow along (and to hear us flail with joy as we read the remake Ciel route).  As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

After the disasters of the Napoleonic Wars, state bankruptcy and losing Norway, Denmark was in bad shape. But even though the future looked bleak, a Golden Age was actually waiting right around the corner. Its writers and thinkers would shape Danish society for generations.

It's not okay for grown adults to believe the United States wages wars to promote humanitarian interests and bring freedom and democracy to oppressed populations. It's not okay for grown adults to believe that US soldiers fight and die to protect their country and its citizens. It's not okay for grown adults to believe US military interventionism in the middle east has anything to do with women's rights or making life better for women. Reading by Tim Foley.

You know these stories. A lost girl in the woods. A puppet who lies. A chicken convinced the sky is falling. You've known them since childhood. What you don't know is what those stories were before someone decided they belonged in the nursery. What we found is not charming. A puppet hanged from an oak tree. Stepsisters carving off their own toes. Children led into the woods to starve. It is bloody, strange, and much harder to forget than the version your parents read to you. In this episode of Haunted Talks, we step into the true history of fairy tales, tracing their journey from gruesome oral traditions to the softened classics most of us were raised on. How did horror become a bedtime story? This episode is not for children. Listener discretion is advised.

This week, author and journalist Malcolm Gladwell joins Trevor and Eugene for a conversation that starts with big social theory and then delves into whether Disney movies have been quietly gaslighting our childhoods. From the idea that your parents are basically just middle managers for your grandparents' personalities to the invisible shortcuts and assumptions that shape how we see the world, Gladwell does what he does best, spotting hidden patterns in the ordinary. And Trevor does what he does best, poking holes, grounding theory in real life, and refusing to let a big idea off the hook too easily.   Part pop culture autopsy and part intellectual rabbit hole, this episode makes us overthink the things we love and love the things we overthink.

In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach sits down with cultural critic, writer, and iconographer Jonathan Pageau to explore the state of contemporary storytelling and the enduring power of myth.Pageau, creator of The Symbolic World, explains how symbols operate beneath conscious awareness to shape imagination and culture. Together, they discuss why traditional narratives appear depleted, how propaganda differs from true myth, and why fairy tales continue to communicate truths modern culture struggles to articulate.The conversation turns toward artists and storytellers, what it means to create work rooted in beauty, transcendence, and enduring symbolic patterns rather than novelty or cynicism. The conversation also connects with the theme of The Breath and the Clay 2026 —what it means to make space: space in our art, in our imagination, and in our lives for transcendent meaning to take root.Jonathan Pageau will be our keynote presenter for this year's event in Winston-Salem, NC, March 20-22. http://www.thebreathandtheclay.com Send a textJoin Malcolm Guite, Jonathan Pageau, Stephen Roach, and so many others!http://www.thebreathandtheclay.comUse the code "mystic26" for a special podcast listener rate!Support the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!
