Manage episode 297185802 series 2799527
In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will explore the power of story. What is it? How can a simple tale impact our lives so deeply? The story I will tell (as the wise crone) provides one answer. “The Story that Grew in My Heart” was crafted from a book written by Walter Hackett entitled The Swans of BalleyCastle. It contains clear references to Irish mythology and folklore. Finally, we’ll examine the role of the storyteller in sharing these stories.

- The Swans of Ballycastle by Walter Hackett. (NewYork: Ariel Books, 1954).
- "The Children of Lir," (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Lir).
- "Oisin and Niamh in Tir no nOg," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niamh_(mythology).
