Loving these words. ✨ . . . “Whether we listen with aloof amusement to the dreamlike mumbo jumbo of some red-eyed witch doctor of the Congo, or read with cultivated rapture thin translations of the mystic Lao-tse; now and again crack the hard nutshell of an argument of Aquinas, or catch suddenly the shining meaning of a buzzard Eskimo fairy tale: it will always be the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find, together with a challengingly persistent suggestion of more remaining to be experienced than will ever be known or told. Throughout the inhabited work, in all times and under every circumstance, the myths of man have flourished; and they have been the living inspiration of whatever else may have appeared out of the activities of the human body and mind. It would not be too much to say that myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation. Religions, philosophies, arts, the social forms of primitive and historic man, prime discoveries in science and technology, the very dreams that blister sleep, boil up from the basic, magic ring of myth.” (Joseph Campbell). . . . #JosephCampbell #TheHeroWithAThousandFaces #Myth #FairfieldIowa #Healing #home #HomeIsWhereYourStoryBegins #integrate #Iowa #KeepItWild #LifeDeathLife #mama #MedicineWoman #motherhood #sisterhood #peace #postpartum #rest #rebirth #SelfCare #SelfLove #ShadowWork #spiritual #StoryTelling #ThereIsAMotherInUsAll #wildwomanrising #wisewomantradition #wisewomanrising #witch #witchrising ♥ ♥ ♥ (at Fairfield, Iowa)
