Myth is the power of place speaking, and the story threads that made meaning and held guidance for our ancestors can be found anew and re-woven for our times. When we tap into the mythic imagination, we remember the calling that brought us into the world.
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
Grounding the imaginal realm
Bodyfullness v mindfulness
The root of the word “enchantment” means “to sing into”- becoming re-enchanted is singing yourself back into the world
Telling stories to the land, and the sacred responsibility to engage with the earth
