I came across this looking for more info on the wizard with the balsam vial, mentioned in a recent post about High Priestess and I want to say that telling stories isn't about privilege. We need stories more than just about anything. In the history of humans, we have always told stories. I know you know I just want to say that if we are to remain human, against all of the efforts to stamp that out of us, against all efforts to make us ok with saying some people are less than people, that is it ok to kill and starve and commit atrocities on some people---we need to tell ourselves stories about what it means to be human.
Thank you Jessica. There's so much more I would like to add, so much synchronicity...instead limit myself by saying that I particularly appreciated your mentioning about Sardinian tales, and great Calvino 💗
