Do you love a good story? Well, I think it's in our DNA as humans to know the world through story. Story can literally shift the way the world is from within our consciousness as well as creating social norms and cultures. It's a powerful vehicle that can also be consciously harnessed for seeing into the Unknown.

Healing and magic happens when we can identify which part of what story we are in! This is what Cristina Craciun, sister Priestess of Avalon and member of the Order of Bards, Ovids and Druids tells me. She is consecrated to Goddess as a Bard Priestess and designated to hold the fire of ancient wisdom.
