“She was inflamed by the sight of his beautiful body … he knew nothing about love … she prayed that they would always stay together … and she got her prayer – but not in the way she’d expected.” Come with us as we attend to the myth of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, with an all-Motown musical accompaniment (including probably the only song ever written about wallpaper!). You are invited to attend.

We attend to the myth of Arethusa, the water nymph who transformed into a river goddess, a story of male aggression, escape from male aggression, and the passage from adolescence into serene, self-possessed maturity. See what you think. Some good music too. You’re invited to attend.

Two stories to attend to in this episode, first the story of Ehud, the left-handed trickster, and second Jan, a selfish man who thinks he can trick the natural forces of the world for his own worldly benefit. I think you’ll find both stories worth attending to – and you are invited to attend.

We attend to the story of Little Red Riding Hood, with a short version of the story in Scots, and some outrageous songs, and some paradoxical insights into this story about leaving home, moving through beauty to healing and new life. See what it’s all about. You’re invited to attend.

We attend to the myth of Narcissus, who never knew how beautiful he was until he saw that image, from deep within him, via the sacred pool, and was able finally to allow his beauty to blossom. A different take on an old myth. You are invited to attend.

We attend to the topic of Games: the rules we play by, the sport of play for its own sake. We look at the game of Chivalry (and its decay), and, as we proceed, we include a series of jokes, and several good stories. You’ll want to attend; in fact, you’re invited to attend.
