Please join Tchipakkan and her guest Laska Koudelka on CTCW’s Otherworldly on Zoom this Wednesday, April 24th, at 8 PM Eastern time.

Our guest on Otherworldly this week will be one of my friends from the SCA: Laska Koudelka is an SCA member of almost twenty years, with interest in fiber arts, history, and culture. In the Modern world, Olya (Olga) Novozhilova (she/they) has a degree from University of South Florida in Classics and History with a minor in Russian Studies.

She’ll be talking about Russian Stories again (last October she was talking about Folk Demonology, to watch that one, see link below)
Roughly speaking there are three sorts of Russian stories: Fairy tales, Bylini: The Things that happened (occasionally imbued with supernatural elements and magical realism), and Folk Demonology: beings people firmly believe inhabit the world along with us.

This time We will be talking about magical creatures and motifs unique to Russian folklore. From the perennial favorite Baba Yaga to the lesser known powerful magic creatures the heroes face, we will explore their attributes and functions in tales.

People are psychic, magick is real, ghosts and other spirits exist, and people can heal with energy. Each culture around the world had come up with ways to explore these realities, and that’s great, we can learn from each other, that’s how we change the world.

The Changing Times-Changing Worlds Conference is a conference for learning about magick, psychic abilities, spiritual practices, divination, healing modalities, folklore, and similar skills. This year it’s happening  November 1-3, at the  Courtyard by Marriott, in Cromwell, CT.
(Early Bird Registration opening soon, see our website. https://ctcw.net/ )

Since we enjoy such topics all year, every Wednesday, we have the Otherworldly show, featuring many of our speakers, and similar topics. We hope you can join us Wednesday at 8. If you miss this show, the recordings are posted on Youtube Thursday or Friday.
