    7 min
  • The Juniper Tree
    A reading of the Juniper Tree as first written down by the Brothers Grimm.
    Every night at 10pm on Facebook Live I am reading from a collection of Brothers Grimm folk and fairy tales, this one really stuck in my mind and I wanted to record it for here.
    It has so many strong shamanic themes running through it, it seemed to me that it is a fantastic example of how not all stories are as they seem, that some perhaps carry Spirit Teachings, a very special kind of medicine all their own.

  • What about Rumplestiltskin
    It’s an interesting conversation...fairytales...how much have we got it wrong?
    How much have we twisted them to fit our own agendas over the centuries?
    What if they were never morality tales at all but teaching tales, what would be the difference?
    What if every single Being we meet in them actually exists or has existed just as we do but in the Unseen Realms?
    That there stories are valid, as vital as our own?
    How would our relationship to them change?
    How differently would we treat them?
    What if Rumplestiltskin was never the bad guy but a wronged guy?
    How would that change things?

About The Faerytale Apothecary

From the publisher's feed

Increasingly our world demands more and more of us, not just our time but our essence, the core of who we are. What if there was another way to be? What if there was a remedy, a tincture of stories that could encourage us to take just a moment back, to close our eyes and remember when we sensed what was around us with awe and wonder, when we could smell and taste the magicks in the air. And what if in this stoppedness, this holding, we were also able to hear the whisperings, the longings of our hearts?
