Hello and welcome! While this is Episode 3 of the Firefly Chronicles podcast, it’s the first public episode. The first two episodes were released privately for Firefly Guild members on Patreon. But given the Covid-19 coronavirus crisis, I decided to start sharing this podcast publicly. It’s my hope it may bring some light, comfort, and enchantment to your days. 

In this episode I share some ideas about Mythic Living and the enchanting compass I believe it provides for finding our way forward in these times of uncertainty.

Episode Notes

Interview on Banyon Books & Sound with Dr. Martin Shaw, Storyteller: “Pandemic and the Mythic Meanings of This Cultural Moment”

Terri Windling’s blog post “The Dark Forest” on Myth and Moor

Elizabeth Gilbert: “Creativity is Medicine” post on Instagram

Mythic Fiction by Charles de Lint (either Dreams Underfoot or Moonheart are great places to start)

Thank you for listening!
