The Petal Demon is the story of a woman who is pursued by a mage. She is helped by Lilith to create a maze of flowers, that traps the mage and becomes a sanctuary for her. This woman becomes known as the Petal Demon, and through her wanderings she leaves legends behind her.
To men she’s a demoness,
to women she’s a heroine.
The Petal Demon belongs to the Cycle of Hillel, which is the first of twelve epic, latticed, interlinked cycles of stories passed down through generations of Jewish women.
Shonaleigh is the only known Drut’syla and the weekend will be a revival of a culture almost lost. Shonaleigh carries on a living unbroken oral tradition passed down from grandmother to granddaughter. She knows around 4,000 tales that she can recall on request, using the lost art of ‘stories within stories’.
This is a rare chance to hear these ancient tales on the tongue - stories untold for two generations and barely spoken of for decades.
