In centuries past, midwives, energy healers and cunning folk were highly respected citizens of every community; they held the knowledge and power to greatly improve the quality of life. When certain men tried to take their knowledge & power for themselves & use it to enslave & dis-empower the common folk, the healers resorted to harmless storytelling as a means of handing down the knowledge of ages (& occasionally save their own lives). Oral Tradition was maintained; it simply became more...creative!
The Nine Children of the Green is such a tale. Riddle, story, poetry, it contains a wealth of embedded knowledge within its lyrical lessons and bard-song lore. Listen, as a 5th generation Traditional Herbalist shares a modern example of passing on ancient power.
