Sunday December 27th on Zoom – Faye Mogensen “Tales for Midwinter”
At mid-winter, the veil between worlds is said to be at its thinnest. This is of special significance in Iceland, where the whereabouts of fairies and elves continues to influence urban planning. The long dark nights encourage cozying up by the fire to share stories – often with a cast of otherworldly characters.
In today’s service, Faye offers traditional Icelandic tales to celebrate this special time of year – a tried and true way of fending off the gloom.
For several years Faye Mogensen ran the Children and Youth Program at the First Unitarian Church of Victoria, where she used the lens of traditional folktale to inspire generosity and hope, and to spark explorations of our relationship with nature, with one another and with ourselves. Her first book, Ancient Stories for Modern Times: 50 Wisdom Tales for All Ages was released by Skinner House Press in June 2016.
