In this episode, Lian shares the soul-stirring Arthurian legend of Dame Ragnell and Sir Gawain.
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.

The tale of Dame Ragnell and Sir Gawain is one of the most evocative and surprising myths in the Arthurian tradition.
Here, a riddle threatens a king's life. A monstrous woman names her price. And a knight, Sir Gawain, offers what no one else dares.
The question posed sounds simple: What is it that women most desire? But the answer, when it finally comes, changes everything.
Through this myth, we’re offered a mirror: of choice, honour, and the transformative power of love that sees beyond appearances.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

-
A Question That Cuts to the Core: What women most desire becomes a sacred riddle, not only for Arthur to solve, but for all of us to sit with.
-
Sir Gawain’s Gift: His courage to offer himself, without hesitation or condition, becomes the heart of the story’s turning. His honour opens the door to transformation.
