The Grimm's Fairy Tale Allerleirauh told by Cathy Pagano

I recently was on my friend Kelly Beard's class call, talking about the different goddesses who traveled to the Underworld for transformation.  Venus is in Scorpio now so she is making her own descent to release old love wounds.

As an example of this type of descent is the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale "Allerleirauh".  It is a story of how modern women are father's daughters and how we have to 'leave the father's house' behind if we want to be free.

Here's is my audio version of Allerleirauh:(click link)
