Words can be magical or mundane. Humans have always had story as a way of learning, communicating, understanding, defining, creating the realities within us and around us. Bards were sacred beings in ancient times. We are all story weavers in our daily lives. So what makes a story special that it connects us to the Unseen world of sacred, magical, dreamtime? My featured guest, Christine Watkins, is a storyteller, author, and performance artist. She is a Priestess of Avalon and Storyteller Priestess. Enjoy her stories and our conversation into the Unspoken world behind the words.

  Do you love a good story? Well, I think it's in our DNA as humans to know the world through story. Story can literally shift the way the world is from within our consciousness as well as creating social norms and cultures. It's a powerful vehicle that can also be consciously harnessed for seeing into the Unknown.

She has been ordained as a cacaotera - sacred celebrant of the cacao ceremony, after 2 years of intensive training and a lifetime of study. As part of her Latin American journey and apprenticeship, she is studying together with the Q'eros community in the Peruvian Andes to become a Nusta - priestess of Pachamama, Earth Goddess in the Andean belief.As a sociologist and semiotician, her purpose is to guide children into the beauty of discovering their soul purpose, through the skills of nature lore, sacred ritual, myths and proverbial wisdom. She believes in the transformative power of mythology and storytelling. Her cacao and herb lore ceremonies are children-friendly and they are not just entertainment, but a deep initiation into the sacred mysteries of Mother Earth.
