A fear of drowning or something darker? Folk Lore Explorer

from The Cauldron of Curiosities · host The Dandelion Moon

Step inside the cover of this thorney old shrub, with its windblown branches shaping it into a hag. When the wind drops can you hear my stories or are you ready to step into the rabbit hole of my minds eye. Grab a acorn cup of ambrosia, pull up a toadstool, relax and reflect on this curious explorer. I am not alone in rereading folk tales and myths. The rewriting of folk lore is a circular or possibly even a eternal weave that we are genetically predisposed to share. Check recent top fiction sellers and spot the myths being retold with a twist to appeal to the contemporary reader. People enjoy stories and they also enjoy distractions, there is power in the words and the tales told and caution suggests reading with discernment. if you have any suggestions on which direction to take comment or email me [email protected]
