RITING MYTH, MYTHIC WRITING:
PLOTTING YOUR PERSONAL STORY
FISHER KING PRESS, 2012
One effective way of accessing some of the elements of our personal myth is through remembering and questioning by means of writing in cursive. To even pose a question is to begin a quest. The narratives that we have been and continue to plot forward contain the patterns and purposes of our personal myth, which is partly conscious and often deeply unconscious. Riting Myth offers dozens of meditative prompts, along with questions to guide us down and into that area of our narrative that can uncover parts of our personal myth. It also contains over 135 additional readings that can further our discovery process. We will, in conjunction with Joseph Campbell’s insights into the reality of mythic patterns, use many of these prompts to access discovery and recovery of our mythic meaning to live a more coherent life.
