Description

The next 3 podcasts, labelled Old Crones Myth Head Roundtable Parts 1-3, are a hybrid of scripted material and live discussion, because I was getting into territory where I felt it advantageous to draw upon the wisdom of the hive mind, so to speak, and it came out really well. You can follow along with the scripted portions the link below. This first installment will dive into several crone figures with old ones symbolism, from Lady Stoneheart to the Ghost of the High Heart to Craster's Wives to Thistle the Wildling. The larger topic will be the connection between Nissa Nissa and Night's Queen, something we were last exploring in Signs and Portals. Featuring Melanie Lot7, Archmaester Emma, Ba'al the Bard, Maester Merry, and Sanrixian. Hope you enjoy, and I'll have the next two out as soon as possible.  http://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2019/03/15/old-crones/

We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. He’s created connections between past and future, between sky and ground. He’s built on classic figures from world mythology and twisted them around in new and incredible ways to fashion his own archetypal characters whose divine roles are played out by the characters in the story. He’s done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but because he’s actually participating in a grand tradition of esoteric, symbolic art. Keeping this tradition alive is of critical importance and tremendous value to society, and that is why I believe this facet of A Song of Ice and Fire is so worthy of study. This podcast is intended to be our vehicle to explore these inner workings, and it is fueled by enthusiasm, yours and mine.
