Edith Nesbit, most well known for her children’s fantasies, also wrote novels, poetry, and horror stories for adults. This story, published in 1907, is a tale seemingly of four women telling stories near the Solstice. And certainly the story is scary enough. But there is subtext here, as well, in old Miss Eastwich’s telling. What details is she omitting? glossing over?

Carol Pearson’s work following Carl Jung offers us a way to transform our understanding of our own lives, and also how we read the narratives we have so long been taught.

I review her strategies for using the archetypes and review her online assessment tool, the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator.

The 12 Archetypes:

A reading of Clarimonde, an appropriately creepy story befitting the tradition of Winter Solstice ghost stories. This story in French is titled La Morte Amoureuse.

For Waywords Podcast subscribers, think of this as a moment of shifting. In contrast to the idea of captivity explored by Chopin in “The Story of An Hour,” Gautier turns his ideas about upon a very different power dynamic. How do these two viewpoints interact in terms of the protagonist’s motivation and their psychological understanding of what possesses them?

For Legacy subscribers, this Gautier narrative seems to parallel some of my musings in recent episodes about inspiration.

For fans of vampires, recognize how old the legends are! This story dates to 1836. Stoker’s Dracula, by contrast, was written in 1897.

The English translation for this work is by Lafcadio Hearn, c. 1882.

Here is the epitaph from the story in the original French:

Ici gît Clarimonde

Finally, though the convention in Gautier’s time was to anonymize place names (i.e. “The village of S—“), for the reading, I have added place names suitably general which better leant themselves to the oral telling.
