What is Mythic Writing?
Mythic writing is a process of allowing the images from myths, fairy tales, dreams and our active imaginations to speak to us. By employing the arts of storytelling and fiction writing, we can draw out the meaning of the myths—and be changed by them.
Stories to the Rescue
Over the years, many mythic stories have come to my “rescue.” When I’m struggling with a particular issue, or I’m stuck, I allow the situation to present itself to me as a metaphor. The metaphor soon springs to life and takes me on an excursion into another world, to uncover something I would not have seen with my “rational” mind.
