Altan communicates with snakes. He learns from them what’s happening on the island, where there is peace and quiet, and where there is conflict, hate, illness.
I meet Kamlesh, the Kula Master, who observes the prosperity of the Fijian archipelago through shells and clouds reading.
Salomon, a regular at Sunset Tales bar, often hangs around the bar at odd hours. Here he tells me the story of Mother Snake.
The story of Kelera, the Dead Witch, who would come in for her ritual drink at Sunset Tales, the bar I used to frequent on Yasawa, one of the Fiji islands, back when I was a young writer.
