Mystic Tea & Stories
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.

Journey with us through vintage young adult fiction with a mystical method. Each episode, a guest and I explore a book from the Chronicles of Narnia, LM Montgomery’s New Moon series, Lewis’s Space Trilogy, and more.
Mysticism: ”An adventure through the wild things of God.”
We follow this pattern:
1.Teatime. To enjoy the story properly (each story has a pairing, you know!).
2. Rehash the narrative. Each chapter in 5 sentences or less (for the fun of it), plus callouts of great moments and characters.
3. PARDES. A few minutes interpreting a passage from the story with an old Kabbalistic practice, where we look at the passage from 4 different angles to find meaning.
4. Florilegia. A few delightful sentences to carry with you.
5. A Wild Application for our World. A challenge - for us and for you - to bring the mysticism of these stories into everyday life.
I do hope you will join us.
