The River - A Tale from Crosshollow

from The Crystals and Beyond Podcast · host crystalsandbeyond

We are back in Crosshollow with another modern fable set in this fictional medieval village where we explore deep human truths through the lens of ordinary life. The featured story  today follows two lifelong friends, Coll and Seb, during a morning of fishing where one man is distracted by a quiet domestic conflict at home. While Seb remains trapped in his own thoughts and fails to catch anything, Coll offers a poignant reminder to focus on the present environment rather than the mechanics of the task. Although hosted on a website for contemporary magic and spells, these narratives contain no overt sorcery, instead focusing on emotional wisdom and the power of presence. Ultimately, the text illustrates that the underlying forces of the world are best understood through simple acts of patience and observation.  The story is found on in the blog"  The River - A Tale From Crosshollow
