The Petal Demon – online
8pm BST (UK time)
Join Shonaleigh on Zoom to hear the third instalment of the Hillel Cycle: the Petal Demon.
The Petal Demon, which is the third part of the Cycle of Hillel, is part of the Drut’syla storytelling tradition Shonaleigh learned from her beloved grandmother and mentor Edith Marks.
“In old Jerusalem a gardener’s daughter flees from an evil sorcerer, and takes refuge with an old wise woman who is his equal in magic and wisdom.
“When the wise woman blesses her with her dying breath the girl has no refuge but her own luck and fleetness of foot.
“So begins a journey that will lead her across the world, from East to West, from South to North, over land and sea, never stopping the same place twice, never stopping in any place for long, with the sorcerer always in pursuit.
“A journey that will lead her to the house of a queen and to the intricately knotted heart of an enchanted labyrinth of garden flowers…”
This will be the first time this story is told in many decades!
The recording will not be available afterwards; we look forward to seeing you live on Zoom.
