IN THE INTRO:

Dreaming the ancient ways

Sisters of rock and root

IN THE INTERVIEW:

The Loss of the Voices of the Wells: the sacred contract between humans and the land, and how the desecration of women and the destruction of the earth are interwoven

The loss of lineage results in the loss of our stories

The sophistication embedded in ancient myths, and how we’ve been raised misunderstanding the old stories

Stories have an independent existence outside of the human mind and reside in the imaginal realm

A myth is the power of place speaking

The Otherworld is an overlay, interwoven with this one

How the heroic journey is killing the planet

Archetypes are universal, but expressed in myth through different cultural filters

The wise old woman of the world, and the Cailleach that informs much of Sharon’s work

Cultivating the mythic imagination & courting the world soul

The meaning of “calling”: every one of us came here to do something that matters

The stories that we loved as children hold meaning for us

Discerning coincidence from synchronicity
