Gifts from the Otherworld: The Adventure of Bran

Saison 7 · Épisode 14

vendredi 10 octobre 2025 • Durée 30:21

Send Catherine a text Message

The existence and importance of other worlds populated by other beings, non-human beings, is consistent across mythological traditions. Today, the dominant culture has a difficult time accepting these stories and yet we continue to tell them.

We continue to need them.

In this episode, I share the Celtic story "The Adventure of Bran" and reflect on what stories like this might offer.

“And there seems never to have been an uncivilized tribe, a race, or nation of civilized men who have not had some form of belief in an unseen world, peopled by unseen beings. In religions, mythologies, and the Fairy-Faith, too, we behold the attempts which have been made by different peoples in different ages to explain in terms of human experience this unseen world, its inhabitants, its laws, and man's relation to it." --- W.Y. Evans-Wentz

Song of the Bricoleur: Rags Rosenberg

Saison 7 · Épisode 13

vendredi 19 septembre 2025 • Durée 42:33

Send Catherine a text Message

"We are all taking everything that we've learned from the past, and we're reformulating what we want to do with that and how we want to live. And so, one of the ideas that's embedded in that, for me, is that when you're in this period of history, like we are now, with AI and with the digitization of everything and with the resurgence of a fascist movement, everything is up for grabs.

You know, anything can happen, and that's the whole point really, that we have agency in this moment to affect what direction things are going to go in, as bricoleurs." --- Rags Rosenberg

A special interview episode with poet and performing songwriter Rags Rosenberg. Rags writes what he calls mythopoetic folk rock in the tradition of songwriter poets he admires: Leonard Cohen, Bob, Dylan, and Tom Waits.

His latest album Song of the Bricoleur speaks about myth and our ongoing myth-making. We talk about artistic identity and guiding images, the role of the artist in dark times, and "making it up as we go."

In times of profound cultural change, we're all bricoleurs.

"Leaving home" is an interesting metaphor for the call to significant change. This episode is a reflection on intention, uncertainty, and how myths can help us listen to the soul and find clarity around the risks and purpose of the journey.

Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...

Leaving Home: Adventures of a trickster tailor

Saison 7 · Épisode 11

vendredi 22 août 2025 • Durée 47:16

Send Catherine a text Message

In this episode, we take a look at the fairy tale "The Valiant Tailor" or the "The Brave Tailor," collected by the Brothers Grimm. Honestly, I almost dismissed this story as a bit too silly and I didn't like the tailor much at the outset.

But what you don't like about a story can be a good prod to look more closely...

The tailor's adventures opened reflections on trickster strategies, courage, and the power of imagination. All useful bits to put in your pocket when you're ready to leave home.

Special thanks to Gary Diggins for granting me permission to include his story about leaving home in this episode.

In the dark woods: what myths say about leaving home

Saison 7 · Épisode 10

vendredi 1 août 2025 • Durée 29:15

Send Catherine a text Message

“You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.”-- Joseph Campbell

In this episode we explore the mythic theme of leaving home as a central part of answering the call to transformation. Drawing from myths such as Inanna’s Descent, Valemon the White Bear King, Psyche and Eros, and The Odyssey, we reflect on the symbolic and literal meanings of “home,” and how leaving it often initiates deep personal change.

Transformation and awakening: Dumuzi's Dream

vendredi 18 juillet 2025 • Durée 38:39

Send Catherine a text Message

This is the last episode in a 4-part series on the Sumerian myth of Inanna: Dumuzi’s Dream and The Return. After Inanna ascends from the underworld, she chooses her lover-king Dumuzi as her replacement in the Great Below.

What happens to him? What meanings can we find in this action? Did the goddess betray her husband? Is this cruelty or compassion?

I hope you find value in Dumuzi's story and welcome your thoughts and comments-- feel free to share them with me.

Greater Mysteries: Transformation, music, and the myth of Inanna with singer-composer Kelli Scarr

jeudi 3 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:07:06

Send Catherine a text Message

Special episode with guest singer-composer Kelli Scarr!

Scarr released her new album Greater Mysteries, a musical journey through the spiraling cycle of transformation, last month. The Sumerian myth of Inanna is one of the touchstones in this beautiful work, and I'm grateful to Kelli for taking the time to talk with me about the making of the album, her engagement with Inanna, and our collective transformation.

"What I hope that this album does is brings solace and inspiration, and holds people's hands through their ears to say it's worth the risk. It's worth the risk of dying in all of its forms. Because even when what is on the other side isn't what you thought it was going to be, it's so much better."-- Kelli Scarr

Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...

Inanna's descent to the Underworld, part 3 of 4

Saison 7 · Épisode 7

vendredi 13 juin 2025 • Durée 39:25

Send Catherine a text Message

She goes down
As we go down
We follow her underground
Hail to Inanna
Who died
To become born.
— Chant from the writer Starhawk and the Reclaiming Collective

This is episode #3 in a four-part series on the Sumerian myth of the goddess Inanna and the part of the story that contains her descent to the underworld. It's a fascinating story and a very old one, which tells us something important about this journey and the surrounding mysteries, and how they live in our imagination and psyche.

Inanna's story is a story of transformation, transformation as an inevitable part of life. She can help us navigate the chaos and find the gifts.

Inanna and Dumuzi: The eros of the cosmos (part 2 of 4)

Saison 7 · Épisode 6

jeudi 29 mai 2025 • Durée 33:17

Send Catherine a text Message

“The Church says: the body is a sin.
Science says: the body is a machine.
Advertising says: The body is a business.
The Body says: I am a fiesta.”

― Eduardo Galeano, from Walking Words

In this episode I tell the second part of Inanna's story, the courtship and marriage between Inanna and her honey man, the shepherd Dumuzi.

Ripe in every sense, Inanna engages in a passionate and symbolic union that celebrates physical desire, renews the life cycles of nature, and expresses the creativity and eros of the cosmos. Her myth illuminates the sacredness of embodied experience and the transformative power of creative union, and challenges traditional dichotomies between spirit and matter.

Inanna invites us to reconsider the sacred through the lens of wholeness, integration, and reverence for life in all its forms.

The Sumerian myth of Inanna: In the first days 1 of 4

Saison 7 · Épisode 5

jeudi 8 mai 2025 • Durée 44:11

Send Catherine a text Message

In the first days, in the very first days, everything needed was brought into being and the goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, took her place in the center of the Sumerian pantheon. This myth was recorded at the beginning of history and describes a pivotal time in human civilization.

We're reckoning with the developments of this time, today. Inanna's myth can help us find a place-- as individuals, communities, and countries-- in the transformation that's currently underway. This is the first in a four-part series.

Thanks for listening!
