Whispers from the Earth: Teaching Stories From The Ancestors, Beautifully Woven For Today's Spiritual Seekers

by Taz Thornton

Ancient teaching stories from the earth, together with meditations and step-by-step guides to sourcing your own tales from the spirits of the ancestors.
Throughout time, indigenous cultures have used storytelling as a way of spreading important teachings to the tribe. Much of our own rich, ancient heritage has been lost over the years, eroded with the coming of mainstream religions and new ideas, yet those teachings and stories are still there, waiting to be rediscovered and told.
Through years of working with the spirits of the land, shamanic healer, crafter and teacher Taz Thornton has gathered together a bounty of beautifully crafted stories from our own forgotten past.
These teaching stories have been shared directly by the spirits of our ancestors, who have long been waiting for new story weavers to carry these threads from the past into the future.

Loved reading this book, feels like I want to go to my favourite forest and settle down for the rest of my days.

Taz Thornton’s book ‘Whispers from the Earth’s not big but is jam packed with stories and not just any stories but ones she has channelled from the ancestors, from the bones of the earth which she is part of and the spirits of those she works with. These are stories to read to yourself and to read out loud to others, for they are stories that are crying out to be heard, to be listened to and to pass on their meaning to those who need to hear them.

Ms Thornton also shares with us guidance as to how to channel our own stories, ones that come from the spirits we work with and from our own ancestors. Whilst her stories are a gift in their own rite, a greater gift is the sharing of how we can become our own storyweavers and in doing so find stories of our own.

I didn't know what to expect from "Whispers from the Earth" but what I got delighted me, a collection of stories that are relevant to now yet feel ancient, stories that could come from any time at all. The teachings are traditional (why does it take us forever to learn them, if we ever really do?) but the stories are timeless. This is is book to be read again and again and to be shared, with all generations.

This sweet little book features wisdom stories woven by dynamic shamanic teacher Taz Thornton. A fun read for families and folks of all ages. The stories are short and sweet, so can be appreciated a bit at a time or in one or two afternoons.
