February
<p>In this episode, we read George MacDonald’s poem, “February,” from, “A Book of Strife in the Form of a Diary of an Old Soul.” We look at how this poem may reflect George MacDonald’s wrestling with God, winter, and his relationship with writing. We explore aspects of fatherlessness, death, light, and what it means to be a child. This episode contains spoilers from Sir Gibbie and Castle Warlock! </p> <p> References: </p> <p><a href="https://www.public-domain-poetry.com/stories/george-macdonald/a-book-of-strife-in-the-form-of-the-diary-of-an-old-soul/print-chapter/february-8135" target="_blank">February by George MacDonald</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winters-World-Journey-through-Anglo-Saxon/dp/1789146720/" target="_blank">Wintesr in the World: A Journey through the Anglo Saxon Year by Eleanor Parker</a></p> <p> Beowulf </p> <p><a href="https://www.simplycatholic.com/the-blessing-of-st-blaise/" target="_blank">St. Blaise (blessing of throats with candles)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%201&version=KJV" target="_blank">The Book of Job on Bible Gateway</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T04fBKNpJlw/" target="_blank">The Tale of Prince Ivan and the Grey Wolf (In a Certain Kingdom) </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Till-We-Have-Faces-Retold/dp/0062565419l">Till we Have Faces by CS Lewis (a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Return-King-Lord-Rings-Book/dp/B099NYMSBY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LL6PVE71MBBA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3VydOJ4Ae99fVQ7MJW63SiXb1xSKz_ryztIvas41Wi4scJ63EVHwDopyPyZEUgnXzoMrpSluTrKz9j1mV2d0dBlMYGg3saAh0UEMujeFNWd7RF0FwSJEZoyaEMYT6_u06xk4BpT1oyJiGoTHYJmYGwfKZ6BtXP06Ese5xG4CAD6GjBhFkUsss_LUN-2IWyHh8P7Zj13w7fij3jIgpQCVgaVX7EHmQ7WK2UUb8JUsjr4.Bl83aixp_g_RI0dmzzkIOPGa3rgdoKLhjgft8M7C4Oo&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+return+of+the+king&qid=1709183103&s=books&sprefix=the+return+of+the+king%2Cstripbooks%2C152&sr=1-1l" target="_blank">The Return of the King by JRR Tolkien</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/lordofspirits" target="_blank">The Lord of Spirits Podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/23042/23042-h/23042-h.htm" target="_blank">The Tempest by Shakespeare</a></p> <p><a href="https://thisjungianlife.com/episode-085-healing-the-negative-father-complex/f" target="_blank">This Jungian Life: Healing a Negative Father Complex</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sir-Gibbie-Scots-English-Illustrated-Translated/dp/B0BTVMXVZS/ref=asc_df_B0BTVMXVZS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=647264363749&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14276781091013581720&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9020213&hvtargid=pla-1958021731669&psc=1&mcid=cff7938e55113da0b3524b709d449876" target="_blank">Sir Gibbie by George MacDonald</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Castle-Warlock-Scots-English-Illustrated-Translated/dp/B0BZF59BY3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=8KJQAEA34C7G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YvHYkTlejv9wqbcTVLcQOqYKmB4MWSMUC2wIE6ttnANga--0hiqKmVBUm_93ttF9TYFFO27hYB6MZCPgFohQJ5m64zz-aduZ5c95mEhZ-MXWu2C2HIwyW-cyRp7g3fX8OBz8KdsJrJSZf89S35CCw2avJqBtRZgedIZKnHo89cK0CKaF_ybdRbPP-Q_Ge_kPO3ut1q_4AB1oLWX23eqJi8kZAC-sOthcCrPBA7Q99ug.FVJ8YHE5RkggcWZ8FydemDyU54ebn_Pps-zk2-eGblM&dib_tag=se&keywords=castle+warlock&qid=1709183374&s=books&sprefix=castle+warlock%2Cstripbooks%2C137&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Castle Warlock by George MacDonald</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/GeorgeMacDonaldandUs" target="_blank">Support Us on Patreon!</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.georgemacdonaldandus.com/" target="_blank">Contact Us!</a></p>
