S2E6 - Journey to the Underworld

We've been exploring "The Snow Queen" all season, but in this episode of Roots of Lore, let's explore Hans Christian Andersen in a bit more depth. We're getting a sense of who he was and the context of his fairy tales, and then taking a look at a potential source of inspiration: East of the Sun and West of the Moon as collected by Norwegian folktale scholars, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe.

S2E5 - East of the Sun and West of the Moon

We are at a threshold time. Last week marked the midway point between Winter solstice and spring equinox. Now you might be feeling the stirrings of Spring. Depending on where you are, it might even already look like Spring. And it might be tempting to want to rush through this liminal tension and get Winter over with already, but here I’m inviting you to pause and be here at this threshold. There are stories to be found here. In this episode, we’re diving into some Irish Celtic folklore through two figures that represent both sides of this seasonal threshold: Brigid and the Cailleach.   Find links + show notes at <a href= "http://caitlinbrehm.com/brigid-cailleach/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">rootsoflore.com</a> PATREON: <a href="http://rootsoflore.com/support" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">rootsoflore.com/support</a> INSTAGRAM: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rootsoflore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@rootsoflore</a> FACEBOOK: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rootsoflore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@rootsoflore</a> TWITTER: <a href="https://twitter.com/rootsoflore" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@rootsoflore</a>
