Mystic Tea & Stories
Podcast Description
Mysticism: ”An adventure through the wild things of God.” Journey with us through vintage fiction with a mystical method. Each episode, Amanda and a guest will explore a book from the Chronicles of Narnia, LM Montgomery’s New Moon series, Lewis’s Space Trilogy, and more. We’ll start with teatime to enjoy the story properly, and we analyze the text according to an old Kabbalistic practice called Pardes. “Pardes” means “orchard” or “garden,” so we’ll wander through the passage to pluck meaning from it. We do hope you’ll join us. Please feel welcome to reach out at mysticvintagefiction.com or @_tea.and.stories_ on Instagram.

JC Alexandre, fantasy author, and I explore The Voyage of the Dawn Treader from The Chronicles of Narnia.
JC brings us droll humor, sailors’ tea punch (you must try it) and new recs (a Narnia cartoon by the director of Peanuts? Who knew?)
Content warning: Things get a little dragonish, by which we mean, disgusting. Watch your tummy.
You can find JC at jcalexandrewrites.com and on social as @jcalexandrewrites. His book, The Light Prince Grail, is available in paperback and e-book.
