The Mythic Archetype of the Storyteller –
From Homer to Tolkien to McKenna, the storyteller is a conduit of cosmic truth.
The Divine Role of the Myth-Maker
A. Myth & Sub-Creation as Acts of Divine Participation
- Tolkien believed that humans create myths because we are made in the image of a Creator.
- Sub-creation is a sacred duty, a means of revealing the eternal within the temporal.
- Quote from Tolkien: “Fantasy remains a human right. We make it in our measure and in our derivative mode because we are made, and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker.”
The Mythic Soul
imagination is revelation language is creation
We are the creator’s of our own Myth, Song & Story
The Story of Life & the Story of YOUR Life
Life as a Story – How identity, memory, and time shape personal myth.
To make myth real is not escapism — it is re-enchantment.
