291 - Heather Pollington - The Art Behind 'Snow White and the Widow Queen'

I had an interview with the wonderful artist, Heather Pollington. Together we created a book called 'Snow White and the Widow Queen' that is currently being crowdfunding through Kickstarter.
Here we take you through our creative process, the inspiration behind the illustrations, and our grand vision for this and upcoming fairy tale projects.

I believe what we're offering here is an important course correction in modern storytelling. Simultaneously rooted in classic tropes but also enjoying the best techniques that modern and postmodern storytelling has to offer, 'Snow White and the Widow Queen' begins an extended journey into a fairy tale world of cross-overs and repeating themes.
We're telling the story in a different way: celebrating — not subverting — approaching classic stories not with cynicism or political moralizing, but with awe, love, and attention to the pattern.

Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau The symbolism of extra-terrestrial life follows ancient mythical and symbolic structures of how the world lays itself out between known and unknown. In this talk I explore several movies with aliens to discover the different facets of this phenomena and how they connect together to give a coherent picture of what it means to be an "alien".

42 - Understanding the Last Judgement

Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau The traditional icon of the last judgement is a very complex image which is both the synthesis of Christian typology as well as an image of the eschatological finality of all things. It is basically an image of the structure of reality. All the elements of the icon are analyzed in light of the structure of being and how we participate in its unfolding. The image interpreted was painted by fr. Luke Dingman and can be purchased at Orthodox Images: http://www.orthodoximages.com/feasts_other.html The talk was given as St-john Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church in Seattle.
