This page is dedicated to stories from different cultures. I choose stories that I come across in other research, or that have a resonance with me or some subject that I am interested. These stories are often cousins to the lofty myths and legends that 'get all the press", and yet they are noless wonderful than their more privelaged relations. Filled with imagery, these are the stories that unexpectedly link up with other images and stories sitting at the back of your mind, and can be a mine of creative inspiration.
This section will be under constant revision, so check back often.
