Storyteller

The tales of the storyteller's shaman ancestors remain with us still. Their memory echoes with the wisdom of our forefathers, to bind us with their spell.

As the storyteller's craft makes it's mark the listener hears again the morning bell, and tastes the quenching water of the woodland stream.

Kindling the embers of memory and enflaming the imagination, the storyteller gives fire to the heart, as warmth and light enfold the spirit. For although the tale may return to ashes, it's spark remains forever, to be rekindled at will.


The bardic way was steeped in the druidic tradition, using a specialised symbolic language.
Taliesin was a sixth century Bard thought to have been the forerunner of Merlin, the enchanter and shapeshifter of arthurian legend.
