SUMMARY:The April Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Hi all! Here is the info for our April Fairy-Tale Salon –> \nDate: April 22nd\, 2026 \nPrompt: Spring Renewal \nQuest: Spring is officially in bloom\, the plants are coming back to life\, and we’re thinking a lot about renewal. Sometimes what you need isn’t to start something completely new\, but instead to breathe new life into something you already love. For this salon\, we’d love to talk about the things that you’re renewing\, reinvigorating\, and revitalizing. Maybe you’re just getting back into reading poetry\, or you’ve vowed to nudge a little life back into your neglected vegetable garden. Maybe you want to reconnect with an old friend! Tell us what you’re doing to bring the energy of spring renewal into your life this month.  \nIf you’d like to participate\, just make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher for the month of April – see you soon!

SUMMARY:FREE Queen of Wands: Tarot and Folklore Workshop!
DESCRIPTION:There’s a kind of woman people write poems about. \nShe’s the woman brave enough to interpret her story. \nShe owns the room without asking permission. \nThe tarot calls her Queen of Wands. \nAnd on April 28th at 7PM ET\, we’re hosting a powerful FREE event where you’ll learn to read the story within your tarot through the lens of folklore and fairy tale – so you can trust yourself more deeply\, see your path more clearly\, and step into that same fire. \nLook\, tarot isn’t a magic eight ball or a winning lottery ticket.  \nWe’re also folklorists\, not literal Magicians. \nBut what we do know is that there’s still magic in the world. There’s magic in you and in the stories you tell yourself. There’s magic in learning to understand yourself\, your choices\, and your own power through a deck of cards. \nThis workshop will reconnect you with your intuition and sense of self\, helping you create more moments of clarity and beauty as you step into being the confident interpreter of your life. \nLet us show you how to read the tarot like a folklorist. \nClick here to register for free!

SUMMARY:The May Book Club - The Elsewhere Express by Samantha Sotto Yambao
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 28th at 7PM ET to discuss The Elsewhere Express by Samantha Sotto Yambao\, a surreal\, Studio-Ghibli-esque book about destiny and finding your place in the world. \nHere’s the description: “You can’t buy a ticket for the Elsewhere Express. Appearing only to those whose lives are adrift\, it’s a magical train seeming to carry very rare and special cargo: a sense of purpose\, peace\, and belonging. Raya is one of those lost souls. She had dreamed of being a songwriter\, but when her brother died\, she gave up on her dream and started living his instead. One day on the subway\, as her thoughts wander\, she’s swept off to the Elsewhere Express. There she meets Q\, an intriguing artist who\, like her\, has lost his place in the world. Together they find a train full of wonders\, from a boarding car that’s also a meadow to a dining car where passengers can picnic on lily pads to a bar where jellyfish and whales swim through pink clouds. Over the course of their long\, strange night on the train\, they also discover that it harbors secrets—and danger: A mysterious stranger has stowed away and brought with him a dark\, malignant magic that threatens to destroy the train. But in investigating the stowaway’s identity\, Raya also finds herself drawing closer to the ultimate question: What is her life’s true purpose—and is it a destination the Elsewhere Express can take her to?” \nAnd here are some reviews! \n“A stunning\, visual fever dream of a story akin to both the game Spiritfarer and Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea—a character-driven tale wrapped in a sparklingly creative spectacle of a world that inhabits a Studio Ghibli–like chaos even as it comes with a well-organized passenger rulebook.”—Booklist (starred review) \n“With its poetic\, descriptive prose\, The Elsewhere Express takes the reader on a magical ride exploring loneliness\, life’s purpose\, and ultimately human connection through a playful\, surreal tale. Without question\, the book will delight fantasy enthusiasts as they nestle into this perfect escape\, a story that whisks them from the mundane and into an imaginative wonderland they might not want to leave.”—J. Penner\, author of A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic \n“A delicately layered dream of a book that glimmers with the promise of hope after grief\, The Elsewhere Express will carry you to the stars.”—Molly O’Neill\, author of Greenteeth \nTo join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for May!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates - Fairy Tales: American Traditions
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to think of fairy tales as something distinctly European or antiquated. After all\, many of the most famous fairy-tale collectors and writers lived hundreds of years ago in Germany (the Grimms)\, France (Beaumont and Perrault)\, or Denmark (Hans Christian Andersen). But fairy tales can be found all over the world\, including in the United States\, where they’re still being created and told today. \nOn July 8th\, 2026\, at 6:45PM\, folklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman discuss the fairy-tale traditions and stories that can be found around the United States\, including the Jack Tales of Appalachia\, Black folk and fairy tales from the South\, and the rise of the Disney fairy-tale empire. They also introduce some lesser-known fairy tales unfolding today and offer insights into how these supposedly frivolous stories profoundly permeate American culture and stay with us ever after. \nClick here to get tickets and more information!
