Salutations and my Mission Statement!

Greetings and thank you for joining!

I suppose I’ll just post a quick little blurp about what I hope to accomplish by starting this little pod.

No matter where you are from or what culture you were raised in, you have grown up with some type of mythology.  Though each culture is truly unique in it’s presentation and characters, common themes can be seen in many of the great stories handed down from generations past. Themes which we can see expressed in the current mediums of movies, music, books, television, ext. 

I wish to create an open discussion about these myths and more specifically how they can relate to us today.

I also want to encourage people to draw out the myths in our pop culture and compare them to the myths of old, most of the time you will see that we are not so different then our ancestors.

Got a favorite story?  A hero?  A T.V. show?  Then start posting!!

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for starting this pod and I wish you / us the best in nurturing it.

I’m interested in tools with which to use myths to further explore my own life and one such tool is the book Mythic Imagination by Stephen Larson. It’s very much an extension of Campbell / Jungian ideas in working with our own mythic stuff … our own shadow stuff. It includes a section of exercises at the end which would fit well into an ILP.
