The Little Matchgirl is a story that has followed both of us through life. It is a cold sad tale that somehow comforts us and teaches us more about our humanity. We hope you enjoy!

Join us in this episode from mid-January as we allow for things to emerge. As we were recording, the ground we're standing on became tangible, which led to Cat's telling of the story of Erysichthon and Goddess Demeter.

We discuss greed as a trauma response, and what it is doing to us as a collective and as individuals. ***

This episode was recorded just before the winter solstice, and took a while to come out. Winter is a time to be still, to go within, and to trust the process.

Cara shares the tale Where Dreams come from and we discuss being still as well as Solstice traditions.

What happens when we press play, in a week when Cara's house has 6 reptiles moving in. We discuss cultural attitudes towards snakes, what are the stereotypes and where do they come from. We have a look at dragon dreaming, the importance of shedding things that no longer serve us, and of celebrating achievements no matter how small. There is even a story, although we make you wait until the end.

Words, and especially names, have power. In this episode we talk about word magic and Cat shares the story of Ra and Isis. Names give us power, how do we choose to use that? Being able to capture concepts in a few simple words is like casting a spell. We dive into our own names a little and consider how we resonate with them.
