In this show, Lian shared her own version of the folktale ‘Fox Woman’ and the powerful symbols of Fox Woman, her Pelt and the Hunter that it invokes.

She shares her personal experience with the story of Fox Woman and the synchronicities that led her to explore this folktale. After Lian tells the story, she invites listeners to engage with what it activates within them, offering questions for reflection.

The story follows a lonely hunter who discovers mysterious acts of kindness in his cottage, leading him to encounter a woman who is part woman, part fox, and part spirit. The tale of Fox Woman and the Hunter explores the relationship between the mythical feminine and masculine, and invites us to be in conscious relationship with each of these within our own pysche.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• The banishment of the Mythical Feminine is a common theme in society, both internally and externally - the story of Fox Woman invites us to reflect on how we banish and reject these aspects of ourselves.

• Fox Woman represents the accepted, nurturing face of the Feminine, while her pelt symbolizes her wildness, power, and enchantment. The Hunter represents the part of us that banishes these aspects of the Feminine to feel safe and accepted.

• This story highlights the suffering that occurs when we separate parts of the Feminine and reject the fullness of her expression - it invites us to recognise and embrace all aspects of the feminine within ourselves and in the world.
