In this day and age, when there are so many connecting wires of communication, convincing someone to slow down and join us in an experience which will transform and inform is a little difficult. There are few who are willing to engage in healing energies in the scheme of things. Many will talk the Spiritual talk but run from the Spiritual walk. Mythology is, more often than not, the Spiritual walk. We are supposed to guide people through an initiation which we ourselves have taken. And we can do it, we just have to put our backs into it.
I desire nothing more than serving pieces of art through communication with the abstract symbols which are our assigned medium. The theory of the craft of writing is so intense that many people can't integrate and display a mastery of said theory in order to really get the blissful experience of writing. Then when you add on the piece which is mythology, those who enrapture with words, sentences, and paragraphs normally walk away mumbling something under their breath about storytelling being hard enough as it is. Mythologists who stick it out are not only rewarded with a bounty that can only be kept in the banks of the higher heavens, but we share this bounty enabling others to open accounts alongside us- we are never alone. Thinking about the fact that we have been selected to this honorable position with its hindering tasks, can stop us from reaping what has been sowed while we were just using writing for escapism. Fore the process of becoming initially accepted and acknowledged is one, in which identicality to every other position on this Spa Planet: Earth, sends us on our fool's journey. Just like others it isn't the following of bliss which we start out with, but the warmth from escaping the environment of our holding cell. We write, not even closely aware of the fact that we, like doctors and nurses, will one day enliven and resuscitate the immortals, motivate and inspire the mortals, and give hope to the ghouls. If lucky, we move beyond that feeling we had when we first started and begin the journey of becoming a Mythologist. Schooling and theory on writing comes after escapism, and we die to who we were. There will be so much to learn about character arc and plot. Setting normally takes care of itself, unless we are going beyond the bounds of our atmosphere. But those darn married aspects of creative writing; those are the things that will make or break a writer. Like I said, liken to a doctor or nurse. Theory is just one aspect. It is an important aspect but only the pronouncement and exhibition to the world that being broken is not an option. After showing that there can be trust since now you are an initiative authoritative guide. Structure and Voice are licenses displaying name and ability. Upon becoming working apprentices of the art, the beauty which is storytelling, the mountain of comparative mythology must be climbed. There is a reason why we still need to read Homer or the Sumerians' Epic of Gilgamesh. We need Japanese and Chinese myths in our toolbox and how to use them. There is the greatest historical mythological story, according to some, the Good Book(s) of the Jews and the Christians which weaves history, philosophy, worship, ritual, and fantasy together so well that people are still dying over it. The list carries on with Egypt's Atum and Amun, both gods in their own right, good according to their own disciple sight; Norse; Celtic; African. Exhaustive one must be. This is why many don't Fuck with Myth. Mythology in one area of discipline is hard enough, but when you add the required information gained only be being a comparative mythologist, things get downright outrageous. Yet, going in the belly of the beast will bring about your own hero's journey; one which Joseph Campbell would be proud of. That is when you pass the bar exam, and gain your license, having everything you need in order to lead others through the beast of relevance. There's a lot on your shoulders Mythologists, I know; don't give up. There is no more rewarding way to serve than leading boys into being men and girls into being women. We need you; I desire your company. Just thin about this during those long nights and early days. School of theory, like Med School, only last so long. Apprenticeship, like internship, only last so long. Mastery schooling, like dissertation writing, only last so long. Do the time and graduate each level- slowly. The world will wait. For you are one of the keepers of the gate. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew
