About this episode
The old myths don't often show Divnity blazing through the sky bellowing instructions. More often the Divine is in hoofprints, bird songs, grains of snow whispering through the pines. The story of Lippo and Tapio is an old myth from Lapland. Today, Stephanie MacKay, co-founder Fianna Wilderness School and long-time student of Martín Prechtel, takes us through this unassumingly profound story about the adventurous spirit of youth, passages of initiation, the deepening power of grief, and the necessity of failure.
