Death is a disintegration of the old in favor of the true. Who are we, what are we, where are we, why are we, and how are we in this lifetime? We can ask the same of our ancestors and ancients, just as our children and descendants will ask the same of us.

TIL: That Joseph Campbell is trash, universal myths aren't going to save us but maybe folklore can. 
What's your favorite folk lore or public domain story that talks shit about rich people and/or monarchs?

My follow-up piece to using mythology to better ourselves and identify the problem areas in society! (Friend linked!)
Just published this new piece, stemming from a re-read of Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces.
I’m all in for #fairy tales, #myth, #ancient gods right now. I’m not sure why but a deep hunger for mystery, for otherness. Maybe it’s because our world is so violent, so tragic with hate and destruction. But I don’t know. Has it ever not been this way? Yet something in my chest points longingly down a misty, forested road and says urgently “go there.” I read once from somewhere, can’t remember if it was #josephcampbell or #robertbly who called for a return to the “oak stage of religion.”
