The Mythic Forum - Bay Area

"Hi, everyone. I'm a big fan of Joseph Campbell and would love to discuss myths - their origins, meaning, uses and misuses, and their relevance to our lives. I look forward to meeting you all."

"Hi, My name is Brett. I've been reading Joseph Campbell books and have always loved Tolkiens Mythology. I have been leading a spiritually based life for some time, but find it a bit difficult to find like minded people in my peer group"

"Enjoyed the NYC Mythology Meetup while I was living there; now I'm back in California. I'm particularly interested in modern myth-making, and how through them, we collectively envision and direct our future."

"Hello! I am a substitute teacher and a former pagan. I have viewed these myths as signposts on my life path for many years. Now I am working on using them less spirituality and more psychologically. "

"Hello, I have an interest in this subject and as it relates to how we live today and what we can learn from these myths."

"New to this stuff...Watched Joe Campbell's "The mythos" DVD and I was intrigued."

"Mythology and archetypes are intriguing mysteries and it will be fun to discuss how they present themselves in our day-to-day life with others who share these interests. Hope some get-togethers can be held a little closer to the East Bay."

"Hi, there is a reason why mythology is timeless and their impression seems to echo in present-day stories. I have an interest in writing, and I'm looking into mythology because I want to be inspired by it to write better stories. "

"Hi! I've know of Joe Campbell for nearly twenty years, but I've recently gotten more interested in him, so this group comes along at a perfect time!"

"This is a great idea. Thank you. "
