In this episode we are joined by Sharon Blackie - writer, psychologist and mythologist with a specialisation in Celtic Studies. Sharon talks to us about a tradition of Celtic myths where divine otherworldly women were considered creators of the land. She shares with us the Celtic myths and folklore around the divine female who permeates the land, who has made it and shaped it. She talks to us about a societal epidemic of unbelonging nowadays and goes on to discuss that myth and story are the connective tissue that help us belong again to the places we inhabit. She argues that if we can capture our own imaginations by using myth and stories - then we can find a way of belonging to the land.
