"The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen
from Myth in the Mojave · host Catherine Svehla, PhD
The Solstice is the most celebrated day of the year. The annual descent into long, dark nights comes to an end, offering the opportunity for renewal, rebirth, and redemption. These themes are present in this week’s story, “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Andersen. I also read “Twas the Night before Christmas”— because we’re almost there! And if you listen carefully, you’ll hear traces of Odin and The Wild Host in this poem. Happy Solstice and Merry Christmas to you.MITM theme music by Travis Rosenberg.
