The Wolf’s Eyelash: A Night of Stories
- by Anahata Giri
Come and meet some wise and beguiling friends of mine: Old Stories - folktales, myths, faerie tales.They are a wondrous bunch and they have warming and wise medicine for our aching hearts and turmoiled world.
In the oral tradition, stories are shared from the heart, not memorised or ‘performed’, and the stories are fresh and different every time they come out to play.
There is much more to a story than the surface suggests. Old stories are deeply symbolic, even archetypal, and help us go underneath our habituated way of inhabiting our lives. As we listen, we feel, sense and intuit where the story speaks to us.
