I decided it’s time I learned more formally about myth, and have begun to read Joseph Campbell’s book – written in 1949 – called: The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
I first learned of Campbell via the PBS series he did with Bill Moyers in the ’80’s called: The Power of Myth. I was fascinated with the series, and with Campbell in particular. HIs knowledge of world myth, and ability to expound on them was magic to me. The fact that he saw value in George Lucas’ Star Wars movies as modern myth just made it all the better!
I’m hoping – expecting – to find insight that may apply to my own journey. More on that later …
