Mythology for a Magical Life: Stories, Rituals & Reflections to Inspire Your Craft

D. H. Lawrence once stated that myth is “an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description” (1995, 49).

Our own lives are stories that we write from day to day; they are journeys through the dark of the fairy tale woods. The tales of previous travellers through the woods are passed down to us in the poetic, symbolic language of folklore and myth; where we step, someone has stepped before, and their stories can help light the way.”
