Using the fairy tales we have meditated on so far, in this episode we will explain what really is an archetype and see how an understanding of archetypes illuminates what is occurring in fairy tales and why they have such power.

Mother Holle: Healing Archetypal Wounds

Fairy tales are both stories of transformation and symbolic poetry.  They are gifts from our ancestors, offering symbols and guidance for our human development. In this show artist, philosopher and teacher Sean Kramer will lead us into the imaginal realm of fairy tales, where we will find healing images and wise teachings for our own journey through this enchanted world.About the HostAfter studying art and the classics of philosophy and science, Sean Kramer lived for two decades as monk and hermit.  He studied Russian icon painting and the ancient art techniques of egg-tempera and fresco.  He works to bring together the horizontal traditions of human cultural transmission with the vertical illuminations from the angelic world.  The Angels speak with and guide humans through images and light--through art and teaching Sean hopes to bring himself and others into more conscious collaboration with the Angelic guides.
