August 05, 2023Briar Rose - Awakening and Transformation
Our final episode of season 1 is a story near and dear to Raisa. This episode gets a lot more personal than some, as we discuss periods of awakening and transformation from various points in our own lives.
The story is from ⁠Household Tales by Brothers Grimm⁠ and is read starting at 7:19 and ending at 15:25.
Adina also recommends:
⁠The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales⁠ (Pantheon Fairy Tale And Folklore Library). If attempting to purchase this, be sure it says, "with Padraic Colum (intro) and Joseph Campbell (commentary) and James Scharl (illustr)". Amazon considers all versions to be the same book, so you could accidentally buy a copy without those key elements.
Our intro/outro music is from Antoni Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, performed by John Harrison with the Wichita State University Chamber Players. You can find the original at ⁠freemusicarchive.org⁠
