In this podcast, host Katie Marquette explores ancient myths using Tolkien's belief in "eucatastrophe" (“the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous turn, the mark of all fairy tales”) and "true myths" as a guide. You’ll hear a bit of history, a bit of philosophizing, a lot of rich sound-design, and compelling stories of lost worlds.

Time travel, paradox, asleep for 100 years, 20 years alone on a mountaintop, Elves that live through all the tragedies of Middle Earth. What can we learn from Fairy Stories about the nature of Time? Does God experience Time? Is Time linear, or more of a circle? On this episode we’ll philosophize about the nature of Time and revisit some classic tales, including Sleeping Beauty and Rip Van Winkle. Visit onfairystories.com for resources and links!
