Myths are intended to break the spell of time and release us from the pressures and limitations of daily life
Myth speaks to the extraordinary in us and to the innate nobility of our souls.
Hearing a mythic story awakens the myth living in each of us.
As the story enters us, we enter the timeless territory of myth.
We become mythic again, a knowing participant in our own story and a seeker near its source.
For, being in a “mythic condition” allows us to reconnect to the core imagination at the center of our soul.
