Teaching Mythology016: The Heroic Journey: Understanding Joseph Campbell's Monomyth Through Iconic Pop Culture - Part 1After a two-year hiatus, I'm back discussing Joseph Campbell's Monomyth or Heroic Journey. Diving into this narrative archetype used in storytelling worldwide, I'll use examples from 'Star Wars' and 'Harry Potter' to illustrate the stages of this journey, including the departure, initiation, and return. This episode covers the first act, elaborating on the hero's separation from their known world, the call to adventure, doubts and fears, mentorship, talismans, allies, and crossing the threshold into the unknown. I will go over the stages of initiation and return in the upcoming episodes.00:14 Introduction and Return to Podcasting00:26 The H...

Dissecting DragonsEpisode 376: In that Time In that Place - the Monomyth and Other Storytelling ModesMost writers at some point become familiar with the idea of the monomyth and the work of Joseph Campbell. However, despite the misleading name, the monomyth is not the only blueprint for all storytelling. While it's very prevalent in almost ever story in the Western world, there are several other storytelling modes which privilege different aspects of a story for a variety of different reasons. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at other kinds of story templates, travelling through the monomyth to the Heroine's Journey and then onto modes used in other parts of the world.

John and Ryan's Pillow TalkThe Monomyth (With Special Guest Conor Lloyd)John was watching a documentary one time and it mentioned the Monomyth? Something about every story low key being the same story? Doesn't seem to make sense but apparently it's a thing. Ryan knows his science but he's completely clueless when it comes to literature. And love. But literature is the more relevant thing for this episode. Luckily a member of Ryan's other podcast, My Favorite Anime, is a professional book editor with a wealth of literary knowledge. Conor Lloyd is the podcast guest John needs if he's ever going to get to sleep tonight.

Heroes and Legends Documentary Channel PodcastEp. 15. The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell and the MonomythThe hero’s journey is the mythological representation of the challenges we all face in life and the path that must be travelled to overcome them. But more than that, it represents what famous mythologist Joseph Campbell saw as the generic-representation of the process of personal development and maturity that each person must undergo in order to become balanced, healthy members of society. This usually means dealing with repressed emotional issues, making difficult decisions, having the courage to suffer, and accepting all the consequences. Campbell was influenced in his wide study of religion and mythology by psychologists such as Fr...

God As The Monomyth Storyteller
The term “myth” has a colloquial understanding of being made up or fake. But that’s not the true meaning of the word. Myths are stories told in a worldview used to relay information to a group and that story is made to stick. This universal concept derives itself from God. God as the monomyth Storyteller sets up our theodicy to explain why evil exists.
Looking at societies and tribes and even families and neighborhoods, humanity to a source of storytellers. We have more books today than at any ot...

Worldview Legacy | The Think InstituteAre Hollywood Movies Just Retelling A Luciferian Myth? (Joseph Campbell's Monomyth Theory and the Bible)Are your favorite movies… satanic?
It’s a common evangelical practice to try and find the Gospel in popular movies and culture. But what if there is another, much darker, story at play? 1949, philosopher Joseph Campbell rocked the literary world with his book, The Hero With A Thousand Faces. Therein, Campbell presented his theory that many—nearly all—of the ancient myths are all really telling essentially the same story about basically the same hero, who essentially passes through the same stages on his adventure before arriving at functionally the same destination. And, the theory goes, it’s not just...

The Examined Life with Phil KallbergEpisode 87: The Monomyth (January 18, 2021)In this episode of The Examined Life, Phil Kallberg talks about the monomyth, the idea that all stories follow the same universal pattern. He further argues the reason this pattern is universal is that it is a reflection of the story of Christ's saving of humanity and other stories cannot help but use that pattern. I conclude by covering some criticism of the monomyth. (January 18, 2021)

Music by Disasterpeace.
2020-04-271h 04This is M.Plot TwistA circuitous conversation about failing my most recent Chemistry exam, the pain of failing at something you don't even care about, the resiliency required to navigate life, watching yourself do something you know you will regret later, the bias of successful people toward those who aren't, the responsibility of taking control of your life, the privileged class of aspiring creatives, the plot twist of therapy, and qualifying for whatever you want for yourself in this life regardless of how "well" you are.

Lost OriginsS02E14 - Bernie Taylor // Monomyth of the AncientsThis week's episode of Lost Origins explores the monomyth of the hero's journey with author and researcher, Bernie Taylor. This narrative is at the core of stories worldwide among indigenous peoples, the ancients, and our modern society. Bernie's research explores a deeper root for this monomyth by looking at how hunter-gatherers viewed themselves within the natural and spiritual worlds through Paleolithic cave art from 40,000 years ago. Taylor proposes that select cave paintings are fundamental pieces in the human journey to self-realization, the foundation of written language, and a record of biological knowledge that irrevocably impacted some of the artistic styles...
