5:10
SPEAKER_01: I so appreciated it.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: You know, it was quite a thing to kind of get back to weekly.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: And I had a lot of messages saying, thank goodness you're back and great to hear you again.
5:25
SPEAKER_01: And I also had a couple of people leave,
5:32
SPEAKER_01: whether that was the death or whether that was the hard-ons or whether that was me
5:36
SPEAKER_01: or whatever, blessings on their leaving this oral journey.
5:44
SPEAKER_01: I'm feeling a lot of beauty around me at the moment.
5:48
SPEAKER_01: There's an expansion and also a
5:55
SPEAKER_01: listening and noticing of beauty
5:57
SPEAKER_01: and I hope we're all feeling that,
6:00
SPEAKER_01: that our gaze has kind of turned to the changing in the air,
6:08
SPEAKER_01: the changing of the feel, the changing of the nature.
6:12
SPEAKER_01: And I think for me that that's been magnified because I have been supporting,
6:17
SPEAKER_01: well, I've been witnessing really a vision quest.
6:21
SPEAKER_01: So locally,
6:22
SPEAKER_01: 12 people went into the forest for four days and four nights with no food and water
6:27
SPEAKER_01: by themselves.
6:29
SPEAKER_01: And I joined,
6:32
SPEAKER_01: I haven't done anything to do with the setup,
6:34
SPEAKER_01: but I am a pipe carrier, which means that I've done my vision quest commitments.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: I've done four vision quests.
6:42
SPEAKER_01: And I wanted to support these questers.
6:46
SPEAKER_01: It's such a brave thing to do and it's for everyone.
6:49
SPEAKER_01: You know, when people take big movements in their lives in any way, then it's for everyone.
6:54
SPEAKER_01: We all feel it.
6:57
SPEAKER_01: So there's always a base camp.
6:59
SPEAKER_01: There's always a fire lit for them so that there's a village to come back to,
7:04
SPEAKER_01: you know, and I wanted to be part of that village.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: So I came and I just wanted to Bring my energy there for a little while.
7:12
SPEAKER_01: But when I arrived there,
7:14
SPEAKER_01: I knew that I was going to have to be there when the questers came out of the forest
7:19
SPEAKER_01: because it's just the most incredible and glorious thing to witness,
7:25
SPEAKER_01: to feel in your body.
7:26
SPEAKER_01: The different ways that they come out deep in their dreaming of
7:32
SPEAKER_01: the earth themselves, completely starlit.
7:36
SPEAKER_01: They've had an extraordinary time.
7:39
SPEAKER_01: And you can, it's written all over them.
7:41
SPEAKER_01: So I'm really, really grateful for that.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: And as I arrived to this village,
7:51
SPEAKER_01: There was a discussion about women and their moon time
7:55
SPEAKER_01: because traditionally women would not come into ceremony.
7:58
SPEAKER_01: They wouldn't touch sacred objects.
8:00
SPEAKER_01: They wouldn't touch the fire.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: They wouldn't quest if they were bleeding.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: And there were some all different discussions all around that wheel around
8:11
SPEAKER_01: whether it's exile, whether it's appropriate, whether it should change in its times.
8:17
SPEAKER_01: And then one woman afterwards said to me, Yeah, but we would all bleed together.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: If this was really the village, we would all be bleeding together.
8:27
SPEAKER_01: So there's a lot of these discussions about women being kind of rejected
8:32
SPEAKER_01: because they're not feeling rejected because they're not able to take part in
8:36
SPEAKER_01: the main thrust of a ceremony.
8:41
SPEAKER_01: But we would have all been together.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: And I felt really heartened by that.
8:44
SPEAKER_01: And as the kind of season turns, I've just been feeling that memory.
8:52
SPEAKER_01: It's like seeing if I can tune into that memory in my body.
8:56
SPEAKER_01: When we all were in cycles together,
8:59
SPEAKER_01: then someone maybe would go out of cycle and they'd be pulled back into our cycle.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: And I don't just mean bleeding.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: I mean, in all of our cycles, we would...
9:12
SPEAKER_00: There would be a whole gathering on the same energy.
9:17
SPEAKER_01: If someone was getting ready to build a house and everyone would go
9:22
SPEAKER_01: and support building that house,
9:24
SPEAKER_01: if there was the barn raising,
9:26
SPEAKER_01: everyone would come together and raise a barn together.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: I'm absolutely just...
9:34
SPEAKER_01: Chewing for more of that in my life, more of that around me.
9:39
SPEAKER_01: And I am absolutely taking it upon myself to just gather,
9:43
SPEAKER_01: gather, gather people in all the different ways that I can that's available to me.
9:49
SPEAKER_01: And my first gathering is an online gathering next Thursday, the Autumn Threshold Gathering.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: And I really want you to come.
10:00
SPEAKER_01: So it's two for one.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: On Eventbrite,
10:03
SPEAKER_01: if you buy the tickets on Eventbrite,
10:05
SPEAKER_01: you get two tickets with a price of one so you can give another person that ticket
10:09
SPEAKER_01: and you can do it together and you can witness each other in creating.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: Co-creating a really gorgeous winter for yourselves.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: Let's have an amazing winter time.
10:23
SPEAKER_01: Let us nestle down and call in and summon and intend and craft
10:31
SPEAKER_01: and vision what we want and then let's all see each other doing it and creating it.
10:41
SPEAKER_01: And if that doesn't groove with you,
10:43
SPEAKER_01: just have a think about how are you going to Connect with the people around you.
10:48
SPEAKER_01: How are you going to stay connected with yourself?
10:50
SPEAKER_01: What does feel juicy for you this autumn, winter?
10:54
SPEAKER_01: It's really up for me.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: This week I've been interviewing a storyteller and that was amazing.
11:04
SPEAKER_01: It was my first Zoom interview so that was a little bit of a learning curve for me.
11:12
SPEAKER_01: And his name is Owen Statton.
11:13
SPEAKER_01: He's got a brilliant podcast called the Time Between Times Podcast and he's got
11:18
SPEAKER_01: the most incredible Welsh deep accent.
11:22
SPEAKER_01: And I'll put that up for you in an episode or so.
11:27
SPEAKER_01: One of my fingers are feeling it.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: I wanted to just share with you that one of the things he talked about
11:34
SPEAKER_01: with his storytelling was that he likes to just take one moment,
11:38
SPEAKER_01: one aspect and just expand and expand and expand and expand and detail it
11:45
SPEAKER_01: and just take it to absolutely its kind of maximum capacity.
11:52
SPEAKER_01: That was really inspiring for me.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: I've never done that.
11:55
SPEAKER_01: You know, you might think I go on, but not intentionally in one place.
12:00
SPEAKER_01: So I've been thinking about what place in different stories.
12:05
SPEAKER_01: And you can just like in when I was in the theatre,
12:07
SPEAKER_01: we would do something called hot seating where you would just like freeze.
12:11
SPEAKER_01: You'd be going through the play and the director would say freeze.
12:15
SPEAKER_01: And then he might ask a character a question, he might hot seat, that's what we would call it.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: You would be in the hot seat and people would ask you questions.
12:25
SPEAKER_01: So you would get a kind of 360
12:30
SPEAKER_01: of all the different characters in that story.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: All the things that are going on in their head,
12:36
SPEAKER_01: all the things that have gone on in the past or the future.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: You get this much fuller idea of what's going on.
12:44
SPEAKER_01: And then...
12:45
SPEAKER_01: The kind of play or did we go again?
12:47
SPEAKER_01: You just go back into that scene and do that scene with all that information that
12:51
SPEAKER_01: the audience are never going to get to see.
12:53
SPEAKER_01: That's just a way of exploring the text or a way of exploring the characters.
12:59
SPEAKER_01: And in writing, it's called The Gleaming Detail.
13:02
SPEAKER_01: I don't know where that's come from.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: I think it's like from Disney or somewhere like that.
13:06
SPEAKER_01: It's one of those writers.
13:09
SPEAKER_01: Gleaming detail,
13:10
SPEAKER_01: which is a detail or an object in a story which encapsulates the whole of the story.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: And an example, the example I remember being given was,
13:27
SPEAKER_01: He's got this bike and he cycles around on it and his brothers won't let him play
13:34
SPEAKER_01: with his bigger friends and he's got this little bike and they've got
13:38
SPEAKER_01: the bigger bikes and then you see him cycling around and he's quite lonely.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: Cycling around by himself.
13:45
SPEAKER_01: And then there's that image where the bike with ET in the front is like across the moon.
13:51
SPEAKER_01: So you're, you know, that has been transformed into another realm.
13:58
SPEAKER_01: I want to tell you a story.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to tell it to you as it was told to me, as I've been telling it.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: And then I'll tell you,
14:06
SPEAKER_01: I was quite surprised by the origins, and then I'll tell you the origins.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: And often I tell this story in the wintertime,
14:15
SPEAKER_01: at the end of winter, as a kind of becoming, coming into spring story.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: But I was really feeling it at the end of summertime as a way of...
14:29
SPEAKER_01: Renewing myself into winter.
14:35
SPEAKER_01: Once upon a time,
14:37
SPEAKER_01: there was a king and he had three sons and they lived in a great castle
14:42
SPEAKER_01: and they lived well and they lived happy.
14:45
SPEAKER_01: And one of the sons,
14:47
SPEAKER_01: he had been running and racing through the woods that day and he went down to
14:52
SPEAKER_01: the kitchen to get himself a glass of water and this is not a thing.
14:58
SPEAKER_01: That should be done in a castle.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: Water should be summoned.
15:02
SPEAKER_01: But he went down to open one of the taps to pour some water for himself and the tap was dry.
15:10
SPEAKER_01: And he looked around and the servants,
15:13
SPEAKER_01: they were shaking their heads and they said, yes, the taps are dry.
15:15
SPEAKER_01: We don't know why.
15:17
SPEAKER_01: And so the son went and spoke to his father and his father said,
15:22
SPEAKER_01: oh, yes, this has happened before.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: I remember when this happened before.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: Well, where did we get the water from?
15:29
SPEAKER_01: How did we get it to work?
15:30
SPEAKER_01: The sons were impatient.
15:32
SPEAKER_01: The three of them had gathered now.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: And he said, ah, well, at the edge of our land, there is a stream.
15:41
SPEAKER_01: Some say it might be even a waterfall.
15:44
SPEAKER_01: People all have different reports of this stretch of water.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: And they say that there is a woman there, an old, old woman.
15:56
SPEAKER_01: And you must ask her for water.
15:58
SPEAKER_01: And if she gives you a cup of that water, you bring it back to the castle.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: Everything will be restored.
16:07
SPEAKER_01: And so the older son said, I am the eldest son.
16:10
SPEAKER_01: I will go down to this stream and I will take the water from this woman.
16:18
SPEAKER_01: You'll ask for it, said the king.
16:21
SPEAKER_01: I will ask, he said.
16:23
SPEAKER_01: And so he took a goblet and he went down,
16:27
SPEAKER_01: following his nose to the edge,
16:30
SPEAKER_01: getting himself lost in the woods, finding his way in and out and all around.
16:38
SPEAKER_01: And he heard it before he saw it.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: It was a trickle,
16:44
SPEAKER_01: a quiet trickle, but unmistakable after all the dryness that he had been through.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: And he could feel his body ready for the water.
16:59
SPEAKER_01: He walked towards it and it sparkled.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: He saw it jumping over stones.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: And as he got to the water's edge, he almost missed her.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: There in a huddle, there was an old woman.
17:16
SPEAKER_01: He knew she was old because of the way she was hunched.
17:19
SPEAKER_01: But he couldn't see her face because it was covered in a cloth And he looked at
17:25
SPEAKER_01: the hands which clutched that cloth and they were dirty and they were wrinkled
17:34
SPEAKER_01: and they were clenched tight.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: And he said, may I have a glass of water from your streams?
17:44
SPEAKER_01: She looked at him,
17:45
SPEAKER_01: peeking up,
17:47
SPEAKER_01: and it was then that he could see the roomy eyes,
17:51
SPEAKER_01: the long, broken nose which seemed to have a crust about the bottom.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: It was then that he could see that one of her teeth was snapped.
18:02
SPEAKER_01: In other places there were only holes.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: She looked at him.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: And he quivered on the inside like a boy,
18:11
SPEAKER_01: in a way that he had not quivered, not in a fight for a very long time.
18:16
SPEAKER_01: She said, you can have a glass of my water, but you gotta kiss me.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: And he looked at her and he said, no way.
18:26
SPEAKER_01: And it was as though as he pushed his hand back,
18:30
SPEAKER_01: the energy of his descent knocked her to the ground.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: And some say in later stories that he did indeed hit her.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: But back up, he went to the castle.
18:45
SPEAKER_01: And his chalice was empty.
18:49
SPEAKER_01: And so the middle brother,
18:50
SPEAKER_01: so fed up with always being the middle brother,
18:54
SPEAKER_01: said, I'll go, I'll go and I'll do it for once in my life.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to achieve something first.
19:02
SPEAKER_01: And so he went down and his brother had made a mess of his trail so it was easier
19:08
SPEAKER_01: for him to find the way.
19:13
SPEAKER_01: And he saw the stream before he heard it.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: It had grown up a bit.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't jumping around, lively and glistening.
19:25
SPEAKER_01: It was smooth and flowing.
19:29
SPEAKER_01: And he looked at it for a moment and he thought how he'd like
19:33
SPEAKER_01: to take off all his clothes and just soak himself in that water.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: He thought how he'd like to feel it against his skin,
19:42
SPEAKER_01: how he'd like the shock of putting his head under and bringing it up,
19:46
SPEAKER_01: of shaking his head so that the droplets could go there and all around.
19:53
SPEAKER_01: And then he saw her.
19:56
SPEAKER_01: And her shawl had slipped a little,
19:59
SPEAKER_01: so he saw immediately the balding head and the hair creased and greased across it.
20:06
SPEAKER_01: He saw immediately that she seemed to have the kind of cheekbones
20:13
SPEAKER_01: which only allowed skin to sink around and that her eyes were deep set in the back
20:20
SPEAKER_01: of her head.
20:23
SPEAKER_01: And he asked hesitantly, can I have a glass of water?
20:29
SPEAKER_01: Will you fill my chalice?
20:34
SPEAKER_01: And she looked up at him.
20:38
SPEAKER_01: And he thought perhaps she was smiling when she said, I
20:43
SPEAKER_00: will if you kiss me.
20:47
SPEAKER_01: Rocky was revolted.
20:50
SPEAKER_01: Deep down in his stomach he felt his no and he walked back indignant to the castle.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: I am a prince.
20:59
SPEAKER_01: What do you think of me?
21:01
SPEAKER_01: I will not.
21:04
SPEAKER_01: So it was left to the younger brother.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: He didn't go the same way as the others because he knew.
21:12
SPEAKER_01: He knew the ways of the rivers and the streams.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: And he knew that there was a tiny little stream in the woods.
21:20
SPEAKER_01: If you followed that,
21:21
SPEAKER_01: it would lead its way,
21:22
SPEAKER_01: opening and opening and opening and up,
21:25
SPEAKER_01: zigzagging up the mountain to where the water then fell in a long sheet,
21:33
SPEAKER_01: where they say,
21:34
SPEAKER_01: if you stood behind it and watched through the water,
21:38
SPEAKER_01: the world of the Fae would be revealed to you.
21:42
SPEAKER_01: And often he went there to dream and to sing,
21:46
SPEAKER_01: to put a stick in the water and watch it move away.
21:55
SPEAKER_01: And so he went there.
21:59
SPEAKER_01: And she was there, so she was.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: Crouched down a little more tightly, hunched over a little more because the wind began to blow.
22:14
SPEAKER_01: And he had his chalice in
22:16
SPEAKER_00: his hands and he said, will you feel this for me?
22:22
SPEAKER_00: She looked up at him, twice rejected.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: And she said, I will if you kiss me.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: And he said, I'll kiss you and I'll do more.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: And he cupped his face in her hands.
22:40
SPEAKER_00: He cupped her face in his hands.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: And he kissed her.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: And he stroked her face.
22:52
SPEAKER_00: And he wrapped his arms around her.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: And he kissed her again.
22:59
SPEAKER_01: And as he kissed and kissed her, so her shawl began to loosen around her.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: And as the shawl loosened around her, so it began to fall off.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: But it didn't fall off straight down, it began to billow around her.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: And as it billowed around her, so she moved.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: And so she sighed, and so she breathed, and so she stretched.
23:26
SPEAKER_01: And as she did all of those things, she was changing.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: As she did all of those things, her hair began to soften and smooth.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: Her face began to smile and open.
23:42
SPEAKER_01: Her flesh began to pinken.
23:47
SPEAKER_01: And she looked at him and her eyes began to change too.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: Her eyes began
23:55
SPEAKER_01: Draw the colour in from all around her,
23:59
SPEAKER_01: the greens and the blue of the sky,
24:04
SPEAKER_01: the brown of the earth, filling and filling her eyes with colour.
24:11
SPEAKER_01: And then she smiled as he kissed her again and he kissed her throat and
24:16
SPEAKER_01: as he kissed her seven times on the throat so she started to laugh and laugh
24:22
SPEAKER_01: and laugh and this time as she laughed she shook and as she shook
24:26
SPEAKER_01: the ears they began to shake off of her too.
24:32
SPEAKER_01: Until there she was.
24:36
SPEAKER_01: Standing, juicy, beautiful, sumptuous.
24:45
SPEAKER_01: And she took her chalice,
24:48
SPEAKER_01: his chalice,
24:50
SPEAKER_01: and she put it into the water and she pulled it up
24:57
SPEAKER_01: and she offered it to him.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: And they drank and drank and drank and drank and drank.
25:06
SPEAKER_01: And
25:13
SPEAKER_00: he took nothing back to the castle,
25:17
SPEAKER_01: except that he knew that the water up there was flowing again,
25:22
SPEAKER_01: renewed and rejuvenated, renewed
25:29
SPEAKER_00: and rejuvenated.
25:33
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I got taken with that story somewhere through the light of the candle here,
25:40
SPEAKER_01: through the attention of your listening.
25:43
SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to edit out the mistakes that I've made.
25:50
SPEAKER_01: I want you to hear it as a whole.
25:54
SPEAKER_01: And I feel like
25:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's love, let's love all that is around us.
26:04
SPEAKER_01: Let's love it and love it and love it and love it.
26:09
SPEAKER_01: Love back to life what we can love back to life and let go and let go and let go
26:16
SPEAKER_01: and keep letting go like the leaves are letting go.
26:20
SPEAKER_01: I know it's
26:23
SPEAKER_01: You know, trite to say it, but I'm very much in the feeling of that right now.
26:30
SPEAKER_01: And this story, there's a translation of a version of this story with much more detail.
26:38
SPEAKER_01: And I'm really excited now to know the pathway of these stories.
26:42
SPEAKER_01: They're called the loathly lady stories.
26:48
SPEAKER_01: And they're about,
26:49
SPEAKER_01: well there's this one translated by Whitley Stokes where Niall is the son who goes,
26:57
SPEAKER_01: I think at the beginning of the story he's actually left out to be eaten by
27:01
SPEAKER_01: the birds but then a great bard picks him up and has a prophecy around him.
27:08
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, he kisses the loathly lady.
27:12
SPEAKER_01: And as she changes, she says, yes, I am loathsome and bestial and horrible.
27:21
SPEAKER_01: And then she becomes beautiful, rowing lips and young.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: And he says, who are you?
27:27
SPEAKER_01: And she says, I'm sovereignty.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: And it's hard fought.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: That's why I'm ugly at first.
27:34
SPEAKER_01: Because it's hard fought and...
27:37
SPEAKER_01: You know, yeah, I'm not sure.

28:02
SPEAKER_01: you know, dry places, moistening and places in us opening.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: We're never, we're cyclical beings.
28:12
SPEAKER_01: You know, we're cyclical.
28:13
SPEAKER_01: So we close our
28:16
SPEAKER_01: And we open and we dry and we moisten and we turn away and we turn back again.
28:22
SPEAKER_01: We tighten and we loosen.
28:24
SPEAKER_01: It's all a journey.
28:27
SPEAKER_01: So let's not get caught in any places in us and feel like that's the end for us.
