Within many stories the descent is the second element of a three-stage process, leading to a final grounding that is both redemptive and a gift to others.
Martin Shaw is suggesting in the West we have often made the Underworld so comfortable, so subtle, and in some cases so chronic, we’ve become a two-stage, not three-stage culture. Without quite knowing it, the Underworld has become home.
In this state we experience the liminoid not the liminal, the ru...2022-05-251h 26
The Crow's Nest with Ian MacKenzieSession | From Hero to Trickster - Humanity's IntiationThe reign of the Hero has come to an end. As humanity faces increasing crisis and collapse, we come to a threshold where the archetype of the Hero can no longer be our saviour. We have entered a liminal time – a space between stories – and so we must bend and instead look to, and learn from, the boundary-crossing, shape-shifting Trickster.

Albert Camus RadioGina Breen 2021 Address to The Albert Camus SocietyGina Breen: ‘French-Algerian Exile’
Albert Camus’s L’Exil et le Royaume was Camus’s last official literary publication before his death in 1960. It is a collection of six short stories, published in 1957, seven months before he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. In his acceptance speech, which was misreported, Camus specifically addressed justice and the Algerian situation, by discussing the role of the writer and the importance of truth, communicating his belief that the writer has a social duty as they bear witness to history.
In this paper, I will discuss three of the six short...2022-03-2427 min

Our guest today Larry Sorkin reads several of his dream-inspired poems and shares some of his life-changing dreams. He also explains why he believes that amplifying dreams (such as creating poetry around them) is preferable to more reductionist ways of working with them.

The Narrow Path of The RighteousSportsEpisode 224 breaks down sports. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. A usually challenging activity undertaken for amusement. A source of diversion. Sports are arguably one of the strongest forms of brainwashing and control. Sports breed the competitive mindset along with extreme idol worship.
When you examine the esoteric knowledge, etymology, mythology, and history connected to sports, you’ll quickly realize that sports are a construct created in order to entrap the mind, body, and soul of those who partake. So-called history has ta...2022-03-023h 19

die erde sprichtMaroua, Honey, Mythology. Or the mythopoetics of going back to ones rootsCameroonian painter, sculptor and performance artist Alioum Moussa takes us on a journey in this episode of „Die Erde spricht / The Earth is Sepaking“. An acoustic journey from his home in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, to Maroua, his birthplace in the far north of the country – and on a journey to the foundations of his poetics. Why make art? For whom? And from what? Questions that – as Alioum Moussa’s sound art essay makes clear – cannot be separated if art is to be meaningful.
„Mythopoetic“ – that’s what Alioum Moussa calls the approach of his art. It consists in drawin...2021-08-0427 min
