Taking Up The Tale with Malcolm Guite
Shownotes
What can ancient stories teach us about creativity, courage, and our own place in the modern world?
In this episode, Stephen Roach welcomes poet and priest Malcolm Guite back to Makers & Mystics to explore his poetic retelling of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Malcolm reflects on how these stories shaped him from childhood and why myth still carries moral and spiritual weight in a disenchanted age.
Together, they discuss the role of storytelling in recovering a sacramental vision of the world. This conversation is an invitation to re-enchantment—to slow down, commit to your craft, and take your place in the great unfolding story.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT
- Why Arthurian legend endures: its moral and spiritual resonance
- Taking up the tale: how myth becomes personal meaning
- Re-enchantment: seeing the world with wonder in an age of distraction
- The value of slow, faithful creative practice
