"Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life." Joseph Campbell
Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 31, 1987) was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work is vast, covering many aspects of the human experience. His philosophy is often summarized by his phrase: "Follow your bliss." Many filmmakers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have acknowledged the influence of Campbell's work on their own craft. Among films that many viewers have recognized as closely following the pattern of the monomyth are The Matrix series, the Batman series and the Indiana Jones series—not to mention the book-based Harry Potter series.
The intention of this group is to explore the richness of mythology, the collective stories of our past, and share in the diversity we all bring to living our bliss as individuals today.

If you have any stories that you like then please share with us. Read more
