Following a tradition initiated 8 years ago, here is the first story of 2018, with my best wishes for everyone. It is a beautiful myth told by the Lacandon spiritual leader Chan’Kin Viejo, and collected by Ignacio Abella in El gran árbol de la humanidad – Leyendas y arte primitivo sobre los árboles en la creación del mundo, a wonderful book that brings us closer to our tallest brothers, the trees. Hachakyum was the first God to came down to the earth to create the world.(…) The first he did was the Sky and the stars. The Earth was dark. He did the ...

Do any formulas or recipes exist which can be explored or applied in our usual storytelling context? It may open storytelling to other areas? Is multilingual storytelling a world of possibilities, or just an utopia? ... 
folktales with kamishibai

In Japan, they say the kids used to rush out to the streets when they heard the cry of the street vendors selling candy. These people used to go from town to town with their kamishibai, a little wooden theater for telling stories. After having told one, or two, or even three and a half stories, and gathered the biggest audience, they offered their goodies. I have not seen that, but I like to imagine it. Or even better, to play “as if” it happens, but here. Next week I will tell stories with a kamishibai, this new wooden companion that comes along with me ...
