Earth Talk: The Earth Gnome - told by Martin Shaw

[@tewtravelers9586]

How do people downvote Martin Shaw? He is our modern bard. This is the pentacle of storytelling.

There are people and then there are people - this is the sad thing.

Pentacle? 😂

I’ve just discovered Martin Shaw today from a Spotify podcast that kind of jumped into my vision to catch my attention at a particular moment in which I was in a rather deep message chat with an autistic friend back in Australia who’s very much in her gruelling underworld process to heal. (What a sentence hey!) The Fall and the Underworld is what the podcast interview with Matin Shaw is called and the subject is up my alley. Martin spoke brilliantly and said so much, it was so inspiring and now I’m suddenly a fan.

Thanks for the recommendation; listening to it now.

Just might be the most brilliant thing I've ever seen.

“This story has something to say to you, that I know nothing about”. Those are the best stories.

Its like I went back in time when the true story tellers of old passed on their magic to their audiences. Thank You Martin Sjaw, I count you umoungst my Teachers.

[@dacejaunzeme4849]

yeah, sounds very much like our folktales of old that i read, but never have i heard such a picturesque and deep telling of what happened in the myth. everything suddenly came alive and got so much more sense and purpose with Martin pointing out the deeper life lesson in a hint and all of him just sharing the depth.

[@dacejaunzeme4849]

Wonderful - would love to know where the story is from

[@Yalasid]

Eastern European I think - he told it at Crick Crack fest this summer x

[@AreteSr]

It's from The Brothers Grimm, but is best known in English, I think, in Wanda Gag's version. www.amazon.ca/Wanda-Gags-Earth-Gnome-Gag/dp/0698206185
