The Land Remembers: Dreamtime Stories & Living Heritage in Aboriginal Australia
Aboriginal Australian cultures existed separate from the rest of the world for thousands of years.

Stories from the Dreaming, also called Dreamtime, are deeply connected to the earth, and tell of our connections to it as well. The stories presented here give perspectives from cultures radically different from most others, providing insight into that which is uniquely and universally human.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subs...

Aengus' Dream: Love & Myth in Newgrange, Ireland's Ancient Tomb (Wooing of Étain, Aislinge Óenguso)

The Philosopher Poet & the Mythic Peng Bird: Expressing the Unknown in Zhuangzi (Taoist Philosophy)
A philosopher has the unique challenge of expressing that which is beyond us through the limitations of language. For many, this is done through a series of logical arguments; for the Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi 莊子 the Way of Nature, called Tao 道 is best approached in another way, through the powerful, poetic language of metaphor. Zhuangzi sets the tone through the marvelous image of the mythological Peng 大鵬 bird which rises beyond the limits of our understanding. Yet, we will see, even the lofty Peng can affect our lives.

Phaeton & the Chariot of the Sun: Harnessing the Powers of the Gods
In the ancient days of Greek and Roman mythology, the story was told of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios (often equivocated with Apollo) who asked his father to command the chariot of the sun on its journey across the sky. The power of the god was too much for this mortal, and his bold attempt to wield it nearly destroyed all of creation. Today we wield many of the same powers once attributed to the gods, and we must listen to ancient wisdom to avoid repeating Phaeton's disastrous mistake.

Lycaon: The Ancient Werewolf of Greek Mythology & Ovid's Metamorphoses
The story of Lycaon (also spelled Lykaion, Lykaon) has been told by many dating back to Ancient Greece, where it was attested in works like Pausanias' Description of Greece, Apollodorus' Library, and Hyginus' Astronomica, and across centuries and civilizations through works like Ovid's masterpiece Metamorphoses. Lycaon's attempt to deceive the gods leads to a terrifying transformation, which many have described as the oldest depiction of a werewolf, wolf-man, or lycanthrope.

Beyond the Surface: The Human Psyche in Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid
Hans Christian Andersen's original telling of The Little Mermaid is probably very different from the one you know. The mermaid's transformation is far less pleasant, there is no mention of true love's kiss, and what is she doing with that knife? A close reading and a look into the life of Hans Christian Andersen, a liminal figure caught between two societies, shows a powerful message that applies to each of us.
