There is no doubt about it, I am an apprentice. Does this mean that I shouldn't be listened to? Do I have to prove my talents and gifts for the slaying of words first? As a renaissance mythologist, I believe that it is the voice of the young that will lay the foundation on this theology and philosophy thing to come called myth reborn. Yeah, we may lack technique, but we also lack the conditioning which more advanced writers may have. We know that religion is supposed to be kept in the closet during today's time/era; but we young mythologist (no matter the age) are willing to go places that are off limit. Tackling these hard to crack subjects. Pushing the limits of philosophy as the great Sumerians and Greeks did.
Mythology is nothing to sneeze at. This is the intentional creating of literature which will elevate the consciousness of the planet. It is the act of doing the Spiritual work first, and that takes time. But should we, apprentices, be listened to? That is the question. I say yes; because we are backing in on our careers. Meaning we have lived life first and then sat down to put pen to paper. The way writing used to be done. That is why living life first is the backbone of every good mythologist; along with some elbow grease of reading and writing on the issues of writing, theology, and philosophy. But the Spirits which walk and talk with us are guiding us. The sacrifice of being asleep to our duties or purpose have been made; at least by the true mythologist. We are Spiritual in the olden sense of the word. I have just completed the first installment in The Chronicles of Mow Yen and starting the second one. And although I could say that my reward is the ability to enter the workforce, finally after working 18 months on this one project (I want to be prolific so, 18 months is a little long,) that is not my reward. The Universe has rewarded me instead with information that will take my career a little further a lot quicker than if I would have continue going it along. Much of the information and people which I'm finding weren't around three years ago. The craft of written storytelling is being made available to anyone who wants it, and the teachings are by Masters, who haven't forgot what it is like to be an apprentice. The Masterclass is a thing now and in order to teach you must listen and most of the people taking the class will be toddlers at this stuff. That's something that a Master must have the patience to deal with. Including my reassured attitude and belief in my field and how it will be accepted if done with the artisan's eye and devotion. But ultimately when the student is ready the right master will come, temperament and all. Mythology isn't like YA; I've said that before. It takes a level of maturity to do it so, there is an exchange of gifts by the Master Journeyman and the promising young apprentice. I look forward to the continuation in the strengthening of my voice and evolving my network and community. Not to mention the expanding of the myth; as romance writing once did. All is good in the land of the Mythologist. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle
