Courting The Feminine in Fairy Tales
On seduction, courtship, and the indigenous memory of Europe.
I was recently interviewed by my dear friend Ian Mackenzie for his Mythic Masculine podcast. The interview was titled Courting the Feminine in Fairy Tales.

In it, we delve into a single image in the story of Briar Rose - the prince approaching the Briar Hedge.
