In Module 8 of Rewilding Mythology, Sophie Strand and Manchán Magan dialogue about preserving ancient culture and natural wisdom, and the importance of understanding stories and wisdom encoded within myths. In this clip, Sophie seeks advice from Manchán about listening to the land speak, from the perspective of someone not native to the land they find themselves on. Manchán offers some perspective on how this is part of a wider loss of old ways experienced by all, world over, and suggests we do it-awkwardly.
✴︎ ABOUT THIS SESSION ✴︎
Healing the Healer: Rerooting Yeshua as a Magician Storyteller
Uprooted from the Galilean ecology from which he drew his nature metaphors and translated into the language of his oppressors, the teachings of Jesus have easily lapsed into dogma. How does a storytelling magician get coopted by imperialism and patriarchy? Let us replant Jesus in his original ecological and social context, and his mythic vegetal god mycelium, to recover the environmentally and socially radical nature of his teachings.

⤹ ABOUT THE COURSE:
For most of human history, myth was a durable mode of knowledge transmission, kept alive and resilient by the breath-laced web of communal storytelling. But the rise of empire depended on the deracination of mythologies. Just as landscapes were stolen and terraformed so were whole pantheons uprooted from their social and ecological contexts. How can we reroot, rewild, and retell? Rewilding Mythology is an eight-week multi-teacher online course, curated by Sophie Strand, featuring a pantheon of storytellers, artists, scholars, practitioners and more.
