Ashley welcomes Aaron, the creator of the 'Sacred Lore of Witchcraft' podcast, to discuss fairy tales and storytelling. Aaron shares his fascination with fairy tales from childhood and how it led to creating his podcast. The conversation delves into the profound impact of fairy tales, cultural insights, and the often-untold historical context. They then explore the life and contributions of the Brothers Grimm, from their struggles with poverty to their eventual fame as collectors of folklore. The episode wraps up with a delightful retelling of the Grimm fairy tale 'Maid Malene' and a discussion about a traditional German rhubarb almond cake.
