Episode: Rumpelstiltskin - Naming What Has Power Over You

Tagline: Myth as a doorway, story as soul retrieval, folklore as a friend

Episode Overview

Fresh from a Women Who Run With The Wolves group session, Sarah shares the full recording of her Rumpelstiltskin story (the version she sent to musicians Ross Moore and Imogen May for their upcoming show) and then unpacks what she’s discovering in its depths.

This 4,000-year-old Bronze Age tale explores: kings who own everything (including what’s found on your land), impossible tasks that require magic, the innocent feminine we throw under the bus, bargains we make with our future selves, and the power of naming things correctly to break spells.

Sarah connects Rumpelstiltskin to Baba Yaga (asking your deep self to solve problems while you sleep), the Manawi story (wild parts that listen more deeply), and the bundle-of-sticks teaching about knowing all your aspects.

This is deep story work - excavating meaning so richness lives in the telling.
