Welcome to Mythic U! In our first episode we define mythology as deeply meaningful stories and ask: what does it have to do with you? Each of us lives in a web of myths - spiritual & religious stories, family stories, national stories, historical stories. Our stories are our beliefs are our myths are our identities. Topics covered include Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth, Carl Jung, the consciousness of plants and growing up in the Bible Belt, as we explore core concepts of thinking and living mythically.
