Lily And The Lion

Relax and fall asleep listening to this little-known Grimm Brothers' fairy tale in which the king's youngest daughter asks her father to bring her back a rose from his winter travels. The father finds a rose - but as is usual in fairy tales, he must pay a high price for it.

I appreciate this story, thank you Mandy.
This narrative is, I believe, a "True Story" that tells of our potential inner journey of the spirit. It is similar to both Beauty and the Beast, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon; some of the motifs make me wonder if it's older than either of those tales. I appreciate the repeated setbacks of the protagonist as she seeks to unite with her prince, just as the soul's journey is arduous. I'm put in mind of the logic teaching on Ida and Pingala (sun and moon, here?) and the rising spinal energy resulting in the crown chakra flowering. Also of the statement that the soul must work on its own for 7 years, after fully committing to the spiritual path (ref: Initiation by Elizabeth Haigh). Stories are potential teachers!

🦁 🌹 🐉 Thank you Mandy for sharing this fantastical story! It soothed me back to sleep. 🐉🌹🦁

Beautiful Tale Mandy. It appears to me that it's a compilation of several stories woven together.
Would I be correct? It was very interesting. Thankyou, Léna 😘👌🌻🐱🐱🐨

Another Smashing Sutter story. I love your voice. It is so enchanting. Great tale, well told. Thank you ever so much. Sooo many nights your voice has gently guided me down the path to slumber. Ahhhh thank you

Lots of symbolism in here, I think. I could listen several times. I wonder why this one is not well known.
