et mythologie "Lorsqu'on regarde la terre de la lune, on n'y voit pas de démarcations d'états ou de nations. Ceci pourrais bien être le symbole de la nouvelle mythologie qui s'annonce. Ce sera le pays que nous allons célébrer. Et ce seront les peuples avec lesquels nous serons UN" - Joseph Campbell, Le pouvoir du mythe |

Mythology and storytelling "When you see the earth from the moon, you don't see any divisions there of nations or states. This might be the symbol for the new mythology to come. That is the country that we are going to be celebrating. And those are the people that we are one with." - Joseph Campbell, the power of myth |

it is difficult to talk about this in a precise manner
because there are no stiff rules when it comes to storytelling. if you ve got something tomsay, let it come thriough
the characters actions. |
| mythology mythology for me is a story that allows us to escape from the horrors of present reality. and through this escape-story we are given tools to better cope with the hooror of daily life. thus, reconnecting with the world as a mysterious, breathtaking place. If it doesn't give you anything to enable you to with your life then its is just fantasy escapism and has no mythological value. To me star wars a new hope, empire strikes back, and the matrix are exaples of mythologiacl works |
star wars: the concept of the force. the idea that human kind has something that makes it more powerfull than the machines it created odly enough the same theme can be found in the first matrix movie neo getting in touch with his true self and breaking free from the technological prison these are important themes for our day and age we feel enslaved by our technoogy and cilvilisation and these movies give us a way of coping with the thechnologial monstruosity that surrounds us |
Another example would be 300 but it is too propaganda like. Anyone who has read a us marine training manual can see who this movie was prepared for.and i can't help but sees similaritie with the 11 laws of satanism in the way people behave in this movie. it makes me sad.im not saying this is a ''satanic movie''. the charaters just behave according to the laws of that belief system. that's all. It might have mythological value for a Marine,or a satanist? but for the rest of us who are trying to release our full potential and rise above our. barbaric-animal side, the movie is just interesting visually and maybe story wise for some. if you like depressing stories about human madness. |
when incorporating mythology into your work, try to link it with something that you've learned through living. Speak from personal experience as much as you can. don't just copy paste a mythological concept into your work. take that extra effort. it'll be worth it. your work will be much more original great souces for myhtological insight: meditaion (outside the organised religion frame) crisis situations in your life or in someone elses. how they overcame the crisis or how they failed. dreams asking question before falling asleep and getting an answer in your dreams tarot cards yi-ching bardo todol carlos castaneda books by joseph cambell carl jung hp lovecraft |
of course you can read up on lots of mythology too. but you might end up borrowing ideas that are not original or have been overly used. i like to read mythology. it makes me fall into a almost trance like state. i fall very deep into myself. and then i get these exciting flashes.visual images which i then try to bring to the surface of myself... oh forget it... too hard to explain.... mythlology links: norse african aztec native american middle eastern hindu greek asian also: wuxia |
