about

“The folk tale is the primer of the picture-language of the soul.” — Joseph Campbell

The story of “The Fisherman and His Wife,” collected by the Brother’s Grimm, is often explained as a parable about the consequences of greed. But is the sole subject and lesson in this story, or is something deeper going on? A fisherman goes down to the sea and catches a flounder, who claims to be an enchanted prince… and this stirs the ambitions of the fisherman’s wife…

Listen to the story and see what you discover in the depths of this stormy sea.

The track art is The Fisherman and His Wife by Anne Anderson.
