At 7.30pm on Saturday 29th April at Neuadd Goffa Mynydd Llandygai, LL57 4LQ or on Zoom.

Join a Shonaleigh, the world-renowned tradition bearer and storyteller, for some stories from The Petal Demon.

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.

It’s the story of a woman who is pursued by a mage, and how she’s 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.

Shonaleigh is a Druts’yla, and 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 telling of the Petal Demon will be recorded as part of the Last Drut’syla Project to create an archive of this tradition’s stories.

Suitable for adults and 14+ only.

This will be a hybrid event: either attend in-person in Mynydd Llandygai or virtually via Zoom.
