I know that I didn't post anything in June 2018, but I was having numerous Coming to Jesus Meetings. This alchemist process of writing myths and combining not only symbols but lessons is pushing me.
I'm currently going through my Chinese Monkey God story with a fine tooth comb. I decided to do a short story on Greece's Hecate. Plus I'm developing the outline of The Mow Yen Chronicles; which is finally coming together. Three projects, all myths. Plus, I want to begin tossing my hat in the article writing ring. My calendar year is from July to June and I had an amazing first year. I wrote a novel and published a short story. I discovered that I could do this; now I believe that 2017-2018 will be the reviewed year which takes me aback to the very thing I originally asked/prayed for. Now 2018-2019 I plan to carry my cross and take another step along my road of dharma. I believe that we each hold a special piece of the puzzle. The Universe's story is our story I've bee told, and its destiny is our destiny. This kind of opened my eyes and made me surrender to my role; that and the fact that this will be the last year before my son heads off to college to be a video game designer. Good or bad, I'm starting to see that I was looking at the business of myth with rose-colored glasses. This is something that has received push-back from patriarchal structures. The entire business of telling myths was once the territory of women but it too fell under the domain of men. Not only that, those who are of the traditional religious way seem to think that this is something that is Gnostic. Which in a way they are right- but I wouldn't tell them that. Then there is the fact that I'm having reserved feelings about Maureen Murdock's Heroine's Journey and trying to put my own twist upon it. Plus Campbell, a genius yes, writer of mythology? Creator of Mythology? No. Then there is my journey to become a University Professor of this stuff. Again, carrying my own cross. Like most Great Initiations I'm in this all alone and others may offer help along the way but it's up to me to get this big wooden beam up the hill. I got Jesus on my side as well as a few others, so I have faith in me ad my journey. Well, I've poured enough tears for a post after a month's absence. I promise I'll . . . you get it. Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle
