Folklore, myths and stories to shape your relationship with nature with Morvern Graham, Storyteller and Illustrator

In today’s episode I’m speaking with Morvern Graham, a storyteller, illustrator and printmaker. I first found out about her work and art through Instagram, and was pretty much instantly drawn into her magical universe filled with mythical creatures, fairies and inspiring folk tales from her native Scotland and beyond. Once you’re done listening to this episode I invite you to go take a look at her work on her Instagram account.

I’m so happy we got to record this conversation, it’s a super cosy one so go make yourself a cup of tea and find a relaxing spot to listen to it! Morvern told me some of her favourite stories, and we also spoke about how she managed to take her childlike sense of wonder with her into adulthood. She also shared how she finds and collects folk tales, how these stories have shaped her relationship with nature, and how she practices imagination and creativity in her every day life. One thing she said that has stayed with me ever since we spoke was a piece of advice she received from her dad to keep her connection with the natural world alive. I’ll let you discover this for yourself towards the end of the episode, it’s such a good one!
