In this introduction to the NEW podcast, On the Soul's Terms, the story of The Fisher King is told as an initiation myth for Chris' solo project.

The Fisher King, lost in the forest as a youth, wounds himself with a piece of hot salmon roasting on the spit of a campfire. His wound, sustained in the 12th century and shared far and wide through song all throughout Europe in different forms, is a symbol for our collective wound.

The healing of the wound rests on the shoulders of the fool, Parsival, who is destined to ask a simple question to restore the Fisher King's health by returning his vision to the Holy Grail. When he stumbles upon the kingdom, however, he remembers his mother's advice to 'not ask too many questions'. As such the moment is missed and many moons need to pass before he asks again.

The myth sets the tone for the podcast - a chance to ask a few foolish questions with regard to our inner and outer worlds. And perhaps, as we go, find the opportunity for healing in simple ways.

Enjoy. We'll be back next week with an interview with Christina Nielsen, founder of the Metavision Institute in NSW, Australia, to kick things off. She'll be the first of many guests who'll be shining a light on ways that ancient wisdom can and does find its way into the modern world with powerful effects.

Also - a Patreon account will be available soon - a chance to support the podcast and receive a few bonus pieces as we go.
