In a Certain Kingdom

Retelling of Slavic Fairytales and Myths, and an Explanation of How These Stories Help Us Better See and Live in the Real World

There has been a lot of discussion recently on the Orthodox internet about the value (or lack thereof) of storytelling, especially considering the opinion among certain Christians that any kind of fiction is spiritually dangerous. This podcast provides a spiritually and culturally enriching answer to this valid concern. Each episode has a two-part structure. Part one is a retelling of a Slavic fairy tale or myth and part two is an analysis of the symbolic structure of that story and how it helps people relate more correctly to the real world and to the reality of the material and spiritual life.
