Death's Role in Storytelling and Our Lives.

In this somewhat Halloween-themed video, I take you into the woods to talk about death of all kinds, and share a little of the deaths I'm facing in the present. I discuss death's role in story plots and character arcs, its prescence in nature, and how the rituals we've used to process/honor death have disappeared in our modern society. Then, I share a small ritual I do often. The mission of Spiritually Written is to teach you the psychological and spiritual meanings within books, films, television, mythology and more that can be applied to our own inner healing. I also share my process to becoming a published writer.
