Mystic Tea & Stories
by Amanda Stauffer
Journey with us through vintage young adult fiction with a mystical method. Each episode, Amanda and a guest will explore a book from the Chronicles of Narnia, LM Montgomery’s New Moon series, Lewis’s Space Trilogy, and more. We’ll start with teatime to enjoy the story properly, and we analyze the text according to an old Kabbalistic practice called Pardes. “Pardes” means “orchard” or “garden,” so we’ll wander through the passage to pluck meaning from it. We do hope you’ll join us. Please feel welcome to reach out at [email protected] or @_tea.and.stories_ on Instagram.
