In this episode we will be exploring:

Stories:
The Handless Maiden
Topics/Themes:
-Individuation - Twice Born - Selfhood
-“In a very real way, we are imprinted with knowing just by listening to the tale. Among Jungians this is called “participation mystique”- a term borrowed from anthropologist Levy-Bruhl- and it is used to mean a relationship wherein “a person cannot distinguish themselves as separate from the object or thing they behold”
-Art and Fear
-The Handless Maiden, Phases of an entire lifetime
-The Devil
-Loss and Betrayal
-Family Trauma
-Stages of Life
-Symbols of Transformation
-“If we listen to dream voices, to images, to stories- specially those from our own lives, and to our art, to those who have gone before, and to each other, something will be handed out to us, even several somethings that are ritual, personal psychological rites, these serving to steady this stage of the process”
-Tears making us conscious; “It does not cure the dilemma, but it enables the process to continue instead of collapsing”
-“the remarkable idiom of the story is that during the darkest times the feminine unconscious, the uterine unconscious, Nature, feeds a woman’s soul”
