In the tapestry of existence, stories are the threads that hold us together.
They’re our history, our magick, and our compass for navigating the path ahead. Stories are our connection to the past, a window to alternate realities, and a blueprint for our future.
That’s why today, we’re diving into the spellbinding world of stories. We’re going to discover what it means to be a ‘story keeper’, the art of traveling between worlds with stories, and how stories are our truth-tellers.
Ever contemplated on the difference between oral and written stories? Or how stories have evolved over time and the importance of allowing them to change? We’ll explore this and more.
We’ll delve into the realms of animism and the unseen, exploring the intimate connection between stories, magick, and the everyday objects that surround us.
Because how do you make sense of the world when…
You’re caught between the seen and the unseen?
Your reality is interwoven with tales of old?
The tangible is just as vital as the intangible?
What happens when your everyday life becomes the fabric of a story, a living, breathing testament to the power of the unseen?
Let this week’s guest tell you how.
Get comfortable, grab a cup of tea, because today we’re joined by Jessica M Starr. She’s a witch whose magic are stories, and you’re in for a treat.
By the end of this episode, you’ll not only have a new perspective on stories, but you’ll also have explored:
- The magick of stories
- Animism and the unseen relationships in our world
- Daily rituals, planetary magic, and sacred spaces
- Creating a magickal practice that reflects your own interests and the land around you, instead of trying to make preconceived ideas fit
- Working with solar time, lunar time, and spiral time
- Involving children in our magical practices
- Following a goddess focused practice
- How to work with Goddess and how it’s different from working with (a Christian) God
- Working with the Goddess to reconnect with your inner power
Our lives are an intricate tapestry of stories, magick, and unseen connections. And when we become aware of these threads, we not only enrich our own existence but also become part of a much grander narrative.
Ready to dive in? Let’s get this story started.
