SUBSTACK: THE ART OF ENCHANTMENT
A Top Ten Literature Substack
Join me at ‘The Art of Enchantment’, my publication and community on Substack: a gathering place to explore the wisdom of myth and fairy tales, and the ways they can help us find ourselves. You’ll have access to exclusive articles from a depth psychology perspective, live monthly Fairy Tale Salons, podcasts, chat and much more. For all those looking to unlock the magic of the everyday.
‘Stories are the stars we navigate by; their lessons are deep and rich. Anywhere, there may be a door to another world: learn to look for it. Always leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way out of the dark wood. Don’t maim yourself trying to fit into the glass slipper which was made for someone else. Gold is never a good goal. Never take your skin off and leave it unattended.’
