We should all listen to, read and tell more stories! That’s a very Indo-European pagan thing to do. A great way to practice everyday spirituality and connect to the ancestral wisdom. Fairy stories such as Beauty and the Beast, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rumpelstiltskin can be traced back thousands of years to prehistoric times.
Here below you can enjoy the luxury of listening to Beauty and the Beast, based on the ancient Indo-European story format ‘The Animal Bride’. It is 5000 (!) years old, so it was told already by our oldest ancestors out on the steppe. A story originally about making sense of our relationship with the natural world – eliminating the threat. Gather friends and family, relax and just listen to a story!
