Captured by bounty hunters and imprisoned in a maximum-security hulk ship, the Doctor is about to learn that there's no time to stand still when you're a fugitive. And times are about to get very fast indeed. 1.2 The Legend of Baba Yaga by Rochana Patel On the run from the Time Lords and in serious need of help, the Doctor heads for 17th-century Russia in search of the legendary witch of Slavic folklore... Baba Yaga. But while trying to gain assistance from this powerful entity, the Doctor finds herself embroiled in events from the most famous of Baba Yaga's tales when she tries to help a beautiful young woman called Vasilisa retrieve a burning ember to save her family from the bitter Russian winter. What is real? What is fantasy? And will the Doctor be able to tell the difference in time? 1.3 The Dimension of Lost Things by Lisa McMullin Fleeing Cosmo through the Vortex, the TARDIS gets sucked down a temporal plughole, and the Doctor emerges into a weird landscape. Finding other lost souls in the form of mountaineer George Mallory and scavenger Athelia, the Doctor soon stumbles across another, more surprising denizen of this strange dimension - herself! With Cosmo still in pursuit and memory-stealing winds threatening to wipe her mind for good, the Doctor senses a complex trap in action. But whose trap is it, and how can she possibly escape? **THIS TITLE HAS NOW SOLD OUT ON CD**
For episode two of our third Cinderella era, Cassie is joined by Matt to discuss Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter, a retelling of the Russian Cinderella-esque story Vasilisa the Beautiful. When Vassa's stepsister sends her out to buy lightbulbs in the middle of the night, she knows it could easily become a suicide mission. Babs Yagg, the owner of the local convenience store, has a policy of beheading shoplifters―and sometimes innocent shoppers as well. But Vassa has a bit of luck hidden in her pocket, a gift from her dead mother. Erg is a tough-talking wooden doll with sticky fingers, a bottomless stomach, and ferocious cunning. With Erg's help, Vassa just might be able to break the witch's curse and free her Brooklyn neighborhood. Join us as we discuss the original Russian tale, complicated modern family relationships, anthropomorphized pangolins, and the nature of grief.Join our community!

This week I share the replay of this weeks Wisdom Wednesday, from our private fb community Wider Circles Hudson Valley Healing Circles! Sacred storytelling is a huge passion of mine- I hope you enjoy!! If there was anything I shared that resonated with you, please leave a like, review, and share with your frenz. This all helps get the podcast out there for those who may need to hear this too! And remember, there will be times when we feel like we've fallen back a few steps, or we feel like we're regressing in our healing, or our actions aren't aligned with our words 100% of the time. These things will come up. Situations arise to show us how we can meet ourselves with more compassion and give whatever version of ourselves that is hurting what it needs. No, you shouldn't give up. Yes, healing IS possible for you. No, you aren't broken. Yes, you are worth the effort. And another thing, it's perfectly okay to take a break from actively looking at and healing every little thing. Rest and integration are so important and, honestly, non-negotiable to our true healing journey. So be kind with yourself, don't compare yourself to someone else's journey and "success", and keep in mind that perfection isn't relatable. Be you. Honor all of your sides- the beautiful, the messy, the human, the sacred. Until next week, I love you forreal- now go take up space!

Intuition, Love, and Fulfilling Your Unique Path In this episode of Practically Magick, hosted by Courtney Pearl and featuring guest Rachel Taylor, the discussion centers around intuition and its transformative power in personal growth and spiritual practice. Courtney introduces herself as a varied spiritual practitioner, and Rachel as an intuitive reminder and advocate for personal development through love. They delve into personal anecdotes, a tarot card reading using the Knight of Pentacles, and the role of intuition in guiding life decisions. The conversation emphasizes that intuition is a universal gift, encouraging listeners to trust their inner guidance and follow what brings them joy, thereby fulfilling their unique path in the collective symphony of life. The episode also touches on scientific perspectives on intuition and consciousness, the journey of self-remembrance, and navigating life with a love-based versus fear-based mindset. Courtney and Rachel conclude by discussing the importance of embracing one's uniqueness and contributing to the collective consciousness by being true to oneself. 00:00 Welcome to Practically Magic: Introducing Courtney and Rachel 00:28 Tarot Insights: The Knight of Pentacles 02:03 Intuition Unveiled: A Deep Dive with Rachel Taylor 10:05 The Power of Intuition: Rachel's Perspective 16:20 Personal Journeys with Intuition 21:45 Embracing Intuition: A Path to Empowerment 24:57 Distinguishing Between Anxiety and Intuition 26:18 Embracing Love Over Fear 28:48 Intuition in Parenting and Personal Growth 30:21 The Practical Magic of Intuition 30:49 Exploring the Science Behind Intuition 36:32 Cultivating Joy and Recognizing Your Spiritual Gift 39:38 The Collective Consciousness and Our Unique Contributions 42:23 Invitation to Embrace Your Unique Self and Upcoming Events #IntuitionPower #SpiritualJourney #TarotTalk #PodcastLife #SoulAlignment #CreativeIntuition #GuidingLight ----more---- **Title: Navigating Life's Pathways with Intuition: A Deep Dive into the Magical and the Mundane** **Introduction** In today's ever-evolving world, where the line between the magical and the mundane steadily blurs, embracing our inner guidance system—our intuition—becomes imperative. The recent episode of the "Practically Magic" podcast, hosted by Courtney Pearl, a Celtic priestess, healer, and spiritual guide, illuminates this concept magnificently. Joined by Rachel Taylor, an intuitive reminder and advocate for soul alignment, they explore the essence of intuition, the practicality of magic in everyday life, and how we can all tap into our innate, often overlooked, spiritual gifts. **The Essence of Intuition** Intuition, as discussed by Courtney and Rachel, is not just a buzzword thrown around in spiritual communities but a powerful, intrinsic force that resides within each of us. It's that inner knowing, a guide that leads us through life's complex maze with a sense of clarity and purpose. Both Courtney and Rachel share their journeys of rediscovery, where intuition played a pivotal role in navigating periods of personal upheaval and transformation. Their conversation demystifies the concept of intuition, breaking down the barriers between the so-called 'gifted' and those who presume they are bereft of such abilities. As Rachel profoundly states, "Intuition is a power within us... it's something that everybody and everyone has the chance to connect with." **Intuition in Practice: Tools and Tales** One of the highlights of their discussion revolves around the practical tools and methods to engage with and enhance one's intuition. Courtney shares a personal anecdote about pulling a tarot card, the Knight of Pentacles, which sparks a rich dialogue on its symbolism and applicability in understanding one's current life phase. This not only showcases the power of intuitive tools like tarot but also illustrates how intuition can present itself in various, often unexpected ways. Moreover, they delve into folklore, with Courtney narrating the story of Vasilisa, a tale that metaphorically represents intuition as a guiding doll. This story, like many folk tales, serves as a vehicle for understanding the nuances of our intuitive gifts, emphasizing the importance of listening and trusting that small, still voice within. **Connecting the Dots: Science and Spirituality** A fascinating aspect of their discussion bridges the gap between science and spirituality, highlighting the universal nature of intuition. They touch upon concepts from internal family systems and neurology, underscoring the scientific underpinnings of intuition and its correlation with the brain's functioning. This intersection of knowledge validates the experience of intuition, offering a grounding perspective for skeptics or those seeking a logical framework. **Community and Collective Consciousness** Both Courtney and Rachel underscore the significance of community in nurturing and validating our intuitive experiences. Through building online spaces and engaging in conversations like these, we can foster a collective consciousness that embraces the myriad ways intuition manifests. Rachel's initiative to create an online Soul Alignment Community is a testament to this vision, offering a sanctuary for those wishing to explore and strengthen their intuition. **Conclusion: A Call to Intuition** The conversation between Courtney Pearl and Rachel Taylor serves as a beacon for all seeking to understand and harness the power of their intuition. It invites us to shift our perspective, to view intuition not as a rarefied gift for the few but as a common thread that weaves through the tapestry of human experience. As we step into the future, may we all embrace our intuitive gifts, exploring the magical and the mundane with openness and curiosity. Let us remember that within each of us lies an intuitive guide, ready to illuminate our path if only we dare to listen. --- **Join the Conversation** To dive deeper into the realms of intuition, magic, and self-discovery, follow Courtney Pearl and Rachel Taylor on their respective platforms. Engage with their communities, participate in workshops, and continue this enriching dialogue on intuition and its place in our lives. Remember, the journey into intuition is one of reclamation, of coming home to the wisdom that dwells within. Let's embark on this journey together, hand in hand, heart to heart, as we unlock the magic that resides within us all.
Integration often takes longer than we think it will - the space between what's here and what we now know to be possible is a place of healthy tension, heartbreak, creativity, imagination… hopefully leading to more wholeness and vibrant human-spirit expression. As my post-pilgrimage integration journey continues, I share with you some John O'Donohue-inspired musings around Absence as creative force and soul-home. You'll hear a breath meditation and synopsis of the Slavic story of Vasilisa (plus an image from the story which feels potent to me right now); as well as some of my wonderings on: wholeness; presence and absence; our fear around ‘nothingness'; the crux of the tension inherent in being a soul and a human; and being ‘in rhythm' vs ‘vacancy'. I continue exploring the perfection of our messy designs and share with you an invitation to be kinder to ourselves when going through a rough patch. And I'd love to keep hearing from you: What do you think? Where do you find rhythm between your own Presence, Absence, and vacancy? Does any of this land for you? Or do you see it all as something else? May we know each moment to be the threshold it is because we honor both our body-self and our invisible self. And may both those selves have places to retreat into rest. May we treat ourselves to absence when the time is now. May we befriend our hunger and longing so it becomes the instigating spark of our creativity and imagination. May our many pieces come home to wholeness. And may we be able to sort the dreams from the dirt to find the treasures of possibility in all our peak experiences.

In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will explore the Grimm tale, "The Girl Who Lost Her Hands." It's a story that packs a punch and leaves listeners quaking in the dust. Well, maybe that's a bit extreme. You can judge for yourself! We'll look at several versions of the story, its derivation and multiple interpretations. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, there will be an interview with the Handless Maiden herself. Who will give the interview? Why the wise crone, that's who! Story: from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, "Das Mädchen ohne Hände," Kinder- und Hausmärchen, gesammelt durch die Brüder Grimm [Children's and Household Tales -- Grimms' Fairy Tales], 7th edition, vol. 1 (Göttingen: Verlag der Dieterichschen Buchhandlung, 1857), no. 31, pp. 162-68.

In a special guest interview, Bruce Dorn spends time in Tulum, Mexico with Vasilisa Komarova - an adventure motorcyclist, physical therapist, and spiritual guide.

Small moments of fables, stories, and poems with Kathy and Kateri, sprinkled among our quarterly podcast episodes. In this mini-episode, Kathy tells her variation of the folk tale of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa, mainly based on how her grandmother told it to her, with a few dashes of the feminist re-tellings she read as an adult.This story does not tell a neat tale of bending all things to our will just by trying hard enough. It is more a tale of trusting yourself and knowing that some seemingly impossible tasks may just need faith and thought around them. With this trust, the unknown does not have to be walked into with fear; it can become an ally. Approach with a willingness to embrace mystery.
Fünf Ich-Erzähler tragen den im doppelten Sinn fantastischen Roman von Karl Ove Knausgård: „Wölfe aus dem Wald der Ewigkeit“. Die Schicksale von Syvert, einem Bestattungsunternehmer aus Norwegen, Alevtina, einer russischen Evolutionsbiologin und Wald-Forscherin, und Vasilisa, einer Schriftstellerin, die sich mit der Idee der Auferstehung befasst, stehen unter demselben, unheimlichen Stern. Tatsächlich geht es um nichts Geringeres als um den alten Menschheits-Traum von Unsterblichkeit und die transhumanistische Vision, die Menschheit könne über die Natur und damit auch den Tod triumphieren. Rezension von Kirsten Voigt. Aus dem Norwegischen von Paul Berf Luchterhand Verlag, 1.056 Seiten, 30 Euro ISBN 978-3-630-87635-1

I recently overhead an exchange between a little boy and his mom. The subject was witches and magic. Which got me thinking. Magic involves perception, changes in the way we see and the manner in which things appear. Magic, like myth, is now a matter of "belief" when it could be practice. This episode revolves around a Russian fairy tale called "Vasilisa the Wise." On one level, this is a story about a young woman and a witch called the Baba Yaga. On another level, it's an invitation to think about magic. The magic and the mystery that we are in, by virtue of being alive.Support the show
Story Prescription: A story about entering the frightening places in our lives, like Baba Yaga's hut, in order to come out on the other side. A story about following inner wisdom and intuition, and embracing the darkness that we all need to face sometimes. -Story Caution: Recommended age 12+ A story from Eastern Europe about a girl called Vasilisa the Beautiful, who needs to go to Baba Yaga's hut for a light, and face her ultimate fear - a human devouring, frightening witch, the keeper of the underworld, a powerful goddess. But is there more to Baba Yaga that meets the eye, and can Vasilisa make it out alive?

It's time to wish our way out of one fairy tale and into another! Drew and Cassie wrap up their final thoughts on Aladdin, including, and then rather than discussing how we would retell the tale ourselves like we usually do, we suggest ideas of how we would like to see someone else retell Aladdin. Then we take a journey to the past by explaining why we wanted to revisit Cinderella. We discuss the plots of some of the most prominent cultural variants of the story: Rhodopis of Greece, Ye Xian of China, and Vasilisa the Brave of Russia. We also update our criteria a little bit from the last time we talked about Cinderella and reveal which books and movies we'll be reading and watching throughout the month! Join our community!

This week we return to the world of mythical Kiev for another tale of the bogatyrs and... their wives? The Tale of Vasilisa Mikulishna is a wonderfully fun gender-swapping tale that puts masculine and feminine tropes on their head... only to put them all back in glorious order by the end. In the analysis section, Deacon Nicholas offers a real-life example of someone who was conquered by Christ through a life of storytelling.

Hčerka morskega carja se je zaljubila v carjevega sina. Pomagala mu je rešiti vse nemogoče naloge, ki mu jih je naložil njen oče. In potem sta živela srečno do svoje smrti.

Katrina and Geoff wander into the Russian woods to talk about the most famous Slavic witch, Baba Yaga. After a fan request to discuss this cannibalistic character after her appearance in Netflix's The Witcher, Katrina knew exactly the tale that would lead our discussion. We also look at the Russian collector of tales, Aleksandr Afanasyev who's efforts to preserve folklore might be one of the reasons that we know as much about Baba Yaga as we do today.

Witches aren't a new thing to this podcast. I've covered the Salem witch trials, and some lesser known witches throughout history, but today we cover the mother of them all; the Baba Yaga. While she's not technically the mother of witches, she has links to various cultures the world over, albeit by different names. The Baba Yaga is of Slavic origins, and she's sort of an anti-hero or villain. She's not necessarily evil, but certainly wants to be left alone. But, she will mess your day up if you do bother her by doing things such as, well, eating you. On the other side of things, she always keeps her word. Generally when approached she will give the trespasser some laundry list of near impossible tasks to complete in exchange for something. If you manage to complete said tasks, she'll stick to her word and give you what you seek - but there might just be consequences to claiming your prize, like in the story of Vasilisa. In this Cinderella like tale, young Vasilisa gets stuck with an evil stepmom who punishes her and her own kids. Well, one day the family needed more light in their cabin, and so Vasilisa was tasked with finding some when she bumped into good ol' Baba Yaga. She completed the impossible tasks and was given a lantern, which exploded upon entering the cabin, killing her step family in a gruesome fire. While Vasilisa was technically freed from her terrible life, it came at a great cost. Like I said, there are stories all over the world of similar creatures to the Baba Yaga, and they generally go by the generic term of Hag. But if you want more more, you'll just have to listen to the episode!

A lighthearted story from Russia. This is not a story of Vasilisa the wise, the brave, the beautiful. This is a different girl called Vasilisa. Vasilisa is also called Vasily, a boy's name. Which is she - a woman or a man - the king desperately tries to find out. But he can't. A wonderful story of wit that defies the perceived social roles of gender. Story Prescription for breaking gender stereotypes, and stereotypes of many a kind. A story for having the courage to live life in the way that you want, a story for fighting for what you believe in for yourself and your community.

She is currently exploring Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology and existential psychology, specifically logotherapy, which was created by Viktor Frankl.

There is no one product for everyone that will protect the skin. Everyone has a different kind of skin, and thus every individual needs different products. We need four important things for hydrating skin, and that will be: Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and some protection”, replied Vasilisa.Hydration can help battle inflammation-38:00“Can inflammation be derived from TV screens?” was my question to Vasilisa.“Energy cannot be destroyed is my key on this topic. We do a lot of damage from the inside with what we consume, and first, we should try to control that. Everyone has their laptops and phones with them all the time, and it has become a necessity of life even though it may harm your skin or health. So for the present, what we can do is follow the basics, and that will be meditating and keep yourself hydrated until a solid solution has not been discovered”, Vasilisa replied.Find out more intriguing things. “The best an individual can do is eat healthily, keep themselves hydrated and use the right products for their skin.

Once upon a time a strong and powerful Tzar ruled in a country far away. And among his servants was a young archer, and this archer had a horse—a horse of power—such a horse as belonged to the wonderful men of long ago—a great horse with a broad chest, eyes like fire, and hoofs of iron. There are no such horses nowadays. They sleep with the strong men who rode them, the bogatirs, until the time comes when Russia has need of them. Then the great horses will thunder up from under the ground, and the valiant men leap from the graves in the armor they have worn so long. The strong men will sit those horses of power, and there will be swinging of clubs and thunder of hoofs, and the earth will be swept clean from the enemies of God and the Tzar. So my grandfather used to say, and he was as much older than I as I am older than you, little ones, and so he should know.

Long, long ago, in a certain tsardom there lived an old man and an old woman and their daughter Vasilisa. They had only a small hut for a home, but their life was a peaceful and happy one. However, even the brightest of skies may become overcast, and misfortune stepped over their threshold at last. Music is Kirigami by Graham Bole. (freemusicarchive.org/music/Graham_B…_01_-_Kirigami)
