Moshkel Gosha: A Story of Transformation
with a commentary by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

Moshkel Gosha is an ancient Persian story as well known in Persia as Cinderella is in Europe. The story also belongs to the Sufi tradition. It is a tale about a prickly-bush digger, and his daughter, and how his discovery of magical stones changes their lives to wealth and then disaster, until the final "happy ending." Moshkel Gosha means in Persian literally "the remover of obstacles," and the story is about how to work with the magical dimension within life. It is also about the mythic power of story telling—how telling one's own story can help remove obstacles in one's life.

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee's commentary to the tale is like a map-highlighting the dangers and rewards of integrating and working with the magical quality that is within each of us. It is the story of our own, individual relationship with the inner world. Because we are living at a time when there is a great need to realize the healing power that lies within us, this story should not be forgotten, for, in the words of Moshkel Gosha, when it is told, "the people who are in real need will be able to find their way."
