I agree with much of what you say as well, however my own approach to storytelling is developing from the image rather than the word. What I mean by this is that when I try to memorise a story as a text , I get hung up on remembering the next line,…
thanks for this lead - I was originally looking for good source material for my dissertation, which is now long past - but all the same I'm grateful for this. I was particularly affected by the stories around the idea of stories as spirit beings - a…
Hey Tim, I know you asked this question a while back but at that time the only book I had seen about storytelling didn't appeal to me so i couldn't make any recommendations. Recently a good friend gave me a book called Singing Story, Healing Drum: S…
I can't help but agree with a lot of what you've written here Martin -I think one of the keys is remaining "open to what new expressions of myth could mean for us today" I think this is a difficult area , and you rightly point out that we lack the b…
I particularly like the simplicity in the statement that 'Ritual is performance with the intention of efficacy rather than entertainment'. when related to the archegestic task of epistrophe and renovatio , it becomes a very powerful force. Although…
Here we explore the notion that myth is as much gesture as speech, that myth is something we "do."
A meeting place of discussion and
wild speculation for students at the Westcountry
School of Myth and Story-also open to anyone
interested in the areas of myth, ritual, and the arts.
Can anyone recommend any good books on storytelling or that take a look at the re -emergence of storytelling ?
I love this story and have read Prechtel's other books, which variously record his shamanic training & experiences amongst the Guatemalan Maya. Highly recommended, by me and to me (even by a Dine/Navaho walking guide in Arizona). I'd be surprised if…
He has broken a good many lances now and his vest is full of holes .........
It's great to see these replies - the love of small things is so much part of the story , we were discussing in another discussion group the power of the bridge of breath with the mythworld and in this context I think we could talk about the bridge…
Yes to the wonder of the living world and all it brings , the sunrise, yes the tea, the wonder of being and experiencing this world but there is something more going on here that the soul revels in: the experience of reaching across the boundary and…

The Disobedient Daughter… a must read. Tim, thank you for your entry and this thread. I was thinking yesterday to start a “tracks” thread about the “books” I most often read most often and this topic…
A truly beautiful story eloquently told : The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun by Martin Prechtel .
One of the really remarkable things about this book is the five layers of commentary on the story itself . Within the third layer - Ecstacy a…

- Hi Tim- Welcome to Poetry & Psyche!
Feel free to create discussions you would most like to see take place and participate the ways you wish to explore. I'm looking for ways to get to know the members of our group via their own poetic ways of eXpressing soul imagery and would love to connect to your poetry, if you write poetry specifically. (But, you don't have to have written poetry to be here and your ways of sharing here will be delightful and mythopoetic nonetheless!)
If you have a chapbook of poetry or are published in journals, mags, anthologies etc, I'd personally love to make a connection to the soul of your work.
Thank you for your kind words to me regarding the blog postings. I am working on a book of essays and these are three of what will amount to about thirteen essays from the prospective book.
Warm Wishes,
-stephanie
