Vasilisa The Beautiful & Baba Yaga show how to awaken your intuition - Lian Brook-Tyler

26 Jun

Episode 508, released 26th June 2025.

In this episode, Lian shares the timeless Slavic folktale tale of Vasilisa The Beautiful and Baba Yaga.

Each month, Lian tells a mythical tale… as spell, as memory, as invitation... not to be analysed or consumed, but to be felt, stirred, remembered as a magical doorway into your own soul.

She first shared this live with our beloved community in UNIO, our Academy of the Soul, in which we continue to journey more deeply together with it in a month-long quest.

Transcript is here:

The tale of Vasilisa is one of enchantment, resilience, and the deep wisdom that lies hidden in plain sight.

A dying mother’s blessing… a magical doll… a dark forest… and the terrifying Baba Yaga, whose spinning hut and riddling tasks test the heart of a young girl thrust into a heroine’s journey.

What begins as a tale of cruelty and exile unfolds into a luminous transformation… one that reveals how love, intuition, and soul-guidance can lead us through even the darkest of nights.

Through this myth, we’re offered a mirror: one that reflects back our own relationship to trust, to trial, and to the quiet voice that knows the way home.

What you’ll receive from this episode:

A Blessing in Disguise: The doll Vasilisa’s mother gives her is more than a keepsake… it becomes the voice of wisdom, protection, and intuition that guides her through the unknown.
The Trials of the Forest: Baba Yaga’s impossible tasks become rites of passage, revealing the hidden power that awakens when we listen, surrender, and trust what lives within us.
Fire as Sovereignty: The flame Vasilisa returns with is no longer borrowed… it is earned, and with it comes a transformation that burns away falsehood and reveals the queen she was always becoming.
