The Giant Who Ran from a Baby ~ Fionn, Fear, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves

One of the most beloved stories in Scottish and Irish folklore ~ the legend of Fionn mac Cumhaill, Benandonner, and the building of the Giant's Causeway ~ turns out to be one of the most psychologically precise stories about fear ever told. In this episode we retell the legend in full, explore its Scottish dimension through Fingal's Cave on Staffa, and go deep into the psychology of the imagined giant, the story we construct around the things we are facing that makes them larger than they actually are. Includes three practical questions for identifying where your own imagination has been building giants. **Links:** - Free Threshold Tarot Spread - Shadow Map Reading - Lantern Letters - Instagram: @sage\inthe\sky
