I like it. Is, today, very important to talk about myth and what it want to teach to us. As said Karoly Kereniy, is it possible to understand what a myth is and what it means for a modern human being ? Hard question... but I believe that is the only way to not only survive, but specially live in the Age of Iron.
Always had an interest in history, but only from a values, mythic , symbolic perspective and very, very few historians have this perspective.
The best of these is undoubtedly Ibn Kaldhun, even though his master work was written about 700 years ago it reveals far more about our times than our current crop of “factualist” historians ever can. Spengler is another.
Symbolism as a link to higher values is critical for children’s inner development , especially in the desert we currently inhabit , so good luck with your writing.
Thank you for this. So, what of Tolkien, whose avowed purpose in writing The Lord of the Rings was the “creation” of a myth for Britain?
I love Tolkien. I see his writing as divinely inspired. He was a creative genius and his writing a reflection of his own soul.

I saw the word “simulacrum” (yet once again)…rolled my eyes, chuckled and didn’t even bother to read this author’s habitual pablum further.
Ah yes, I forgot you exist. how amusing it is that you believe your thoughts hold any weight in my world.
Pay attention. I will make you a better writer.
What a completely unselfconscious wanker, disapproves of “simulacrum” but uses a term like “pablum”. Nit picking academic most likely.
