Introducing the Mystic Vintage Fiction podcast
from Mystic Tea & Stories · host Amanda Stauffer
Journey with us through vintage young adult fiction with a mystical method. Each episode, a guest and I explore a book from the Chronicles of Narnia, LM Montgomery’s New Moon series, Lewis’s Space Trilogy, and more. Mysticism: ”An adventure through the wild things of God.” We follow this pattern: 1.Teatime. To enjoy the story properly (each story has a pairing, you know!). 2. Rehash the narrative. Each chapter in 5 sentences or less (for the fun of it), plus callouts of great moments and characters. 3. PARDES. A few minutes interpreting a passage from the story with an old Kabbalistic practice, where we look at the passage from 4 different angles to find meaning. 4. Florilegia. A few delightful sentences to carry with you. 5. A Wild Application for our World. A challenge - for us and for you - to bring the mysticism of these stories into everyday life. I do hope you will join us. Follow the podcast for new episodes and reach out at [email protected]. Don't forget to check out our bookish merch at teaandstoriespod.com. Have a beautiful day!
