Was halten wir von "Geschichten von artigen und unartigen Mädchen" generell und insbesondere von diesem? Was ist Verantwortungsdiffusion, woher kommt der Pechvogel und wie würde unser persönlicher Cast aussehen für eine Märchenverfilmung? 

Zusammenfassung des Märchens:
Eine verwitwete Mutter zweier Mädchen, von denen nur eines ihre eigene Tochter ist, bevorzugt leibliches Kind stark. Dieses gilt als faul und hässlich, das Stiefkind dagegen als schön und fleißig. Letzteres landet über Umwege in einer fremdartigen Welt. Dort bittet ein Brot und ein Apfelbaum um Hilfe, die das fleißige Mädchen natürlich leistet. Dann trifft es Frau Holle, die ihm gegen Arbeit freie Kost und Logis anbietet. Ein Teil der Arbeit besteht darin, Schneeflocken aus Kissen zu schütteln. Nach einiger Zeit von Heimweh geplagt, macht sich das fleißige Mädchen auf den Weg zurück, wobei es unter dem Torbogen von Goldregen überschüttet wird. Zuhause angekommen, ist die Schwester neidisch und versucht es ihr gleichzutun, erweist sich aber als zu faul für den Goldregen und verbleibt stattdessen lebenslang von Pech gezeichnet.

In this episode, Amanda tells the folktale of Tannhauser, a 13th century knight and writer of erotic poetry. (This episode is steamy!). Though the story takes place in Germany, it was a variation of a tale common throughout Europe over a thousand year period while European culture was transitioning from animist paganism to Christianity. It tells the story of a mortal man seduced by an otherworldly woman, such as a fairy queen or goddess, who lures him to her Underworld paradise. This story asks us: where does abundance actually come from? Does it come from the land, physical pleasure, healthy food, enjoying loved ones, and contributing to our community in some way? Or does abundance come from working hard, getting a well paying job, saving money, and playing by "the rules"? When Spirit presents us with its gifts, what should we do with them? How can we cherish the abundance available to us and help it grow? Tune in to find out!

Please note that this is part 2 of our Ace of Pentacles episode, continuing from last week, but you can totally listen to it as a stand alone piece. Just note, it might be a little too sexy for sensitive listeners.

Welcome to another two-part episode of LOST IN THE RABBIT HOLE -- this is PART ONE. In this episode, we cover just some of the variants of The Wild Hunt tales, which come from Europe, but can also be found in some form all over the world.

The Wild Hunt is a tale of a pack of spectral beings riding horses, sometimes flying, late at night. Sometimes there are demon dogs, or other packs of animals. These tales are moral tales, with the riders or hunters presaging something really bad -- war, plague, discord, or even the death of the person who sees the riders.

We see in this episode (both parts) that the frame of the pack of ghost hunters carries across cultures, but with some interesting shifts and detail changes.

PART ONE: focuses on the background of the tale frame; from WODEN/ODIN leading the pack to the HERLE KING, this is an old lore that is still somehow very elastic. Part one includes the history of FRAU BERCHTA , one of the female figures to lead the pack of night riders.

PART TWO: shares other cultures' tales, including THE NIGHT OF A HUNDRED DEMONS from Japan, HAWAIIAN NIGHT MARCHERS, the Canadian New Years tale of THE BEWITCHED CANOE, and the Old American West tale of the GHOST RIDERS.
