Lezli Censullo moderates a second discussion of selected readings from Firefox, Wolfskin and Other Stories of Shapeshifting Women by Sharon Blackie. We had such a great discussion the first time around, we’re continuing our circle with three more selections.

This session, we will be discussing these three myths from the book:

• Wolfskin

• The Last Man Standing

• The Saturday Diary of the Fairy Mélusine

More details on our Garden Reading Circle (including collaboratively created guidelines) can be found here. Please read before attending this session. Thank you!

About this selection: Drawing on myth and fairy tales found across Europe – from Croatia to Sweden, Ireland to Russia – Sharon Blackie brings to life women’s remarkable ability to transform themselves in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances.

These stories are about coming to terms with our animal natures, exploring the ways in which we might renegotiate our fractured relationship with the natural world, and uncovering the wildness – and wilderness – within.
