Episode description

The Light Princess is a classic George MacDonald fairy tale about a young princess whose gravity is taken away from her by the curse of a wicked witch (who also happens to be her aunt). It has much to say on the crucial nature of gravity - seriousness, suffering, and love - in life.

Beneath The Willow Tree is a podcast dedicated to the pursuit of Truth through wonder. Join host Sophie Burkhardt as she, fueled by wonder and a quest for the beautiful, explores philosophy, theology, the arts and all things worthy of thought beneath the willow tree.
