In the Faerytale Apothecary's second experimentation with intentionally pinning down co-conspirators, I am most proud to offer up the debut Medicine Trail of my little sister.
Saoirse is a caring, kind, and loving Animal Listener. As a Witch, she makes a wonderment of Lotions 'n' Potions to help both people and animals, but mostly animals.
Another collaborator made it very clear that nothing could happen without them, so it is with a twinkle of mischief that I also welcome you to the magics, medicines and disruptions of Venice...
The Faerytale Apothecary's Wild Hearts Sipping Cups of Tea is an experimental affair seeking to follow the Medicine Trails left by Words from Specially Appearing Stories. The recordings will often times be messy unedited affairs that aim to include all the languages from all the peoples (regardless of species or corporeality) into the conversations. There will be no written transcripts, simply an offer to sit a while, listen and see where you might be taken, prompted, curiosly led to. Other humans will be invited to gather our good weather gear for the trip from time to time. Our starting point may sometimes shift in location but home will always be with That Which Dwells Beyond The Gap In The Old Stone Wall - the creative space for my ongoing Doctoral Research. Research which will no doubt pop in on occasion too. Individual Words will be our doors to inner (and perhaps sometimes outer) landscapes. There will be Spontaneous Stories making Guest Appearances. We will explore what it may mean to be Touched by a Story. We will welcome Ordinary Story Speakings. We will Gather Glitterings in our Baskets as we make our way. All served up about once during a month with a drop of tea crafted by a Wild Heart or two. To listen to the gathering, simply scroll back up and press play...
