Ep 08 Shifting Times

How can we live with change when even traditions of the annual cycle no longer work? Myths and rituals talk about nature and biodiversity of ancient times. But with climate change, we are confronted with the phenomena of shifting baselines and "planetary amnesia". Listen to how we could redefine the storytelling connections of time and space in our changing landscapes. At the intersection of cultural heritage and science, this episode compares the traditions of the 15 August with modern knowledge of plants and ancient chronicles. I talk about animal and interspecies friendship - and the star of this episode: my dog Bilbo. 00:00-00:39 Intro 00:40-01:59 Shifting Times 02:00-06:59 Shifting Baselines: Memories For The Future 07:00-10:22 The Episode's Star: Bilbo 10:23-13:39 Madame Woowoo 13:40-20:59 The Friendly Raven 21:00-24:59 The Shift Of Magic & Folk Rituals 25:00-37:43 Magic Mary And The Shift In Myths 37:44-45:31 Plants of Assumption And Biodiversity 45:32-49:17 Celebrate Life! 49:18-49:43 Outro Website, Blog, Newsletter & Community (please support my work) https://naturematchcuts.net Music: Intense Dark Action Orchestra by (Justin Williams) DeVern, CC Attribution 3.0 Licence
