In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will continue her discussion of the Danish folktale, “Prince Lindworm.” We began our analysis in the last episode, but there is much more to share. This story is filled with metaphors and symbols. It can be viewed in many ways. That fact alone emphasizes the power of folktales to bring understanding and healing to issues we deal with today.Story: East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North, illus.

In this episode, Geoff and Katrina fly into the world of witches, thanks to an article by folklorist Kay Turner. In her article titled, "The Witch in Flight" published in the Winter 2023 addition of the Journal of American Folklore, Turner discusses some of the reasons why we encounter so many winged females in myths, folklore, and fairy tales. Katrina describes some of the mythical magical flying females and how cultures have shaped how we view witches in the modern day. And then she tells the Norwegian tale of Tatterhood and the many witches and their personalities on display in the story. For further reading: Check out "Women Who Fly: Goddesses, Witches, Mystics, and Other Airborne Females" by Serinity Young. It is an incredibly fascinating book.
In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, meets again with Master Hypnotherapist, Linda Bennett. Together they discuss the Norwegian folktale, "Tatterhood," and explore its many meanings and interpretations by looking at its symbols, metaphors, and archetypes. It's a fascinating model for dream interpretation too. Part 2 of their conversation continues on the "Crone & Queen's Fireside Podcast" where they discuss ways traditional stories can be used as a tool for personal growth and holistic healing. They explore the work of psychologist, Milton Erickson and share ways they've used stories within their own practice. As you'll soon see, stories can be used to facilitate change in many settings from life coaching to hypnosis, depth coaching to spiritual companioning.

In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will explore a little known Norwegian folktale, "Tatterhood." It's a story in which an unexpected, young girl goes on a hero's journey. She has quite a surprising role to play in a very unusual story.Story: Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, Lurvehette [Tatterhood], Norske Folkeeventyr (Christiania [Oslo], 1842-1852), translated by George Webb Dasent (1859).

I had the wonderful chance to sit down with Hannah Custis (a fellow fairy tale/myth enthusiast) to discuss the fairy tale "The Frog King", which is the lesser known version of "The Princess and the Frog".
At our deepest roots, we are story-tellers. Women have overcome many adversities through the centuries sharing deep archetypal stories together. The fairytale "Tatterhood" comes from Norway and Iceland. This story offers an invitation to experience your "wild twin" and learn how to reconnect with her as a means to reconnecting to the wild, regal natural state of our earth. Discover how together, we can create mythologies that support the healing of women, our bodies, and our relationship to nature from ancient wisdom passed down for generations.
This Norwegian fairy tale is the story of Tatterhood. It is a story about sisters, beautiful Berenice and the hideous Tatterhood. When some witches replaces Berenice's head with a calf's head, the brave Tatterhood starts the adventure to get her sister's head back. Surprisingly the story refuses to pit beauty and ugliness against each other as metaphors for good and evil. It celebrates strength, family, perception, and magic!
Abbie reads us the Ruth Manning Sanders version of Tatterhood, the story of a badass heroine who is absolutely perfect just the way she is and we wouldn't change a thing. Kelsey dips her toes into some Greek mythology and reads a story of The Queen of the Gorgons. The post Go Off, Queen appeared first on Fantastic Worlds Productions.
English Nanny style bedtime stories - In this classic Norwegian story, a strange young girl proves that a good heart can fight more witches than good looks can.

In part ten of this series, I read "Mwindo", "Tale of Taj al-Muluk and the Princess Dunya", "Boitata", & "Tatterhood" from the book Beneath the Moon by Yoshi Yoshitani (no pronouns). Beneath the Moon is a collection of fairy tales, myths, and divine stories from around the world that Yoshi has also represented in Yoshi's tarot deck Tarot of the Divine. As I read each story I will connect them to the tarot card they represent. I love the Tarot of the Divine deck and all the culture it shows and I immediately wanted the book the moment I knew it existed. Hopefully, you enjoy hearing these stories as much as I love reading them! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spiritualintellect/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/spiritualintellect/support

The story of Tatterhood is unlike any I've ever read on the podcast, and it's so excellent. The problem? I can't really say much without ruining the story. So check it out, you won't be disappointed. The creature is the tomcod, a catfish that's actually a catfish. It's a lot more off-putting than you'd think. -- Sponsor: Bombas are the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

Episode 43 is a pretty exciting one for The High Low - a bit of a pinch-me moment, if you will. One minute we were begging Faber & Faber for an advance copy of French novelist Leila Slimani's cult read, Lullaby - a troubling but beautifully written read about a nanny who murders her two young charges - the next, we had Leila in our studio.The twelfth woman to win the Prix Goncourt, last year (the highest literary prize in France, previous winners include Proust) Lullaby sold a whopping 600,000 copies in Leila's native France (under the title, ‘Chanson Douce'), led to Emmanuel Macron asking Leila to be the Minister for Culture (she turned it down) and the movie rights have, unsurprisingly, been snapped up. Comparisons with Gone Girl and Girl on a Train are crass - but indicative of the book's breathtaking success. Leila talks to us about finding unexpected success with her “ little book” (“I thought my great book would be about war”), the societal role of working motherhood and the nanny (who is both "inside and outside of the home”) and why being a Muslim woman of North African descent “does not mean I care about identity.” Also today, we discuss Catherine Deneuve's apology, whether the Babe.Net piece about Aziz Ansari undermines the MeToo movement; the H&M hoodie-race-row, why the new cultural buzz-trend of 'self-care' is lofty BS (isn't it just letting yourself buy the cushiony bog roll, not the scratchy stuff?) and the joyous news that The Bayeux Tapestry is coming to the UK for the very first time in 950 years. Joking, thought that's quite cool that France finally let it leave. Not so cool? That 24,000 attempts to access porn from inside the Houses of Parliament have been made since the General Election. THAT'S 700 A DAY. Lots of pieces have been getting us talking and hotly debating this week. Read them - and lots of podcast recs - below!Thanks you to our sponsors Treatwell and Google Pixel 2 and Wardour Studios, who hosted us this week.You can e-mail The High Low thehighlowshow@gmail.com, or tweet us @thehighlowshow.LISTENING:Angela Hartnett on Desert Island Discs http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09lxn6wDaisy Buchanan on Desert Island Dishes https://www.acast.com/margiebroadhead/29-daisy-buchanan-author-and-journalist READING:Lullaby, by Leila Slimani https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lullaby-Leïla-Slimani/dp/0571337538The Killer-Nanny Novel That Conquered France by Lauren Collins for The New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/01/01/the-killer-nanny-novel-that-conquered-franceThe Melting Season, by Jami Attenburg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Melting-Season-Jami-Attenberg/dp/1594484996Swimming Underwater, by Tatterhood http://www.tatterhood.co.uk/poems/I went on a date with Aziz Ansari.

Tatterhood is a fairytale from Norway that has feminist flavors.
Recorded live at the 2014 National Storytelling Festival. This Norse tale introduces Ella, who’s beauty and gentility is unmatched and Tatterhood, who while unkempt and rough, carries an inner fire and spirit that makes her unique and beautiful.
