I'm still reading "The Hero With A Thousand Faces". It is taking me a long time to read because I keep putting it aside. I'm only half way through it. I did...
Greetings Robert and list members, Personal mythology, or archetypes? That gets fuzzy on that level, doesn't it? But, in the context you describe it, if the...
Hello Acara, I think dreams create a personal mythology which includes mythological monsters to establish the emotional ground for lived experiences. According...
Hmm. Well, one might also suggest something easier and breezier such as The Power of Myth, which Bill Moyers did interviewing Campbell. But hell, if you are...
Once again I have put aside "Hero with a Thousand Faces" in favor of reading other books. I've just about finished reading "Spiritual Emergency" by Stanislav...
I just looked in my Dictionary of the History of Ideas and was pleased to find Joseph Campbell mentioned in the article on Mythology, but disappointed at the...
I love that Campbell, though studying something as esoteric and "mumbojumbo magical" as myth, always keeps his dialogue concrete and used facts and science...
Hello all. I just joined this group. I consider JC to be my post graduate teacher/mentor after watching Power Of Myth when it was first shown on PBS. I have a...
Welcome, Ed. Campbell is everyone's teacher. One of the joys of reading/listening to him is the constant taking something new away every time. I always catch...
Being that this is the first time I have joined a group like this, I'd like to take the moment to mention why I am here. I have the Power of Myth book, and...
Jennifer, Welcome to the Campbell group! Glad to have you join us. You are absolutely not alone in the "aha" moments of life. That's how we all ended up...

Royboy, This is funny that you bring proof of what I thought all along. I dropped out of the military because I was being pressured severely to go into a...
Thomas, You did the best thing you could have possibly done and are most probably the better for it. Unfortunately, not many realize the 'manhandling' that...
Roy, Sorry for the slow reply. Your presentation is very good. You make some hard-hitting points. It should be widely seen. Would definitely spark the...
Robert, Great to hear from you. Keep up the read. Campbell is always worth it. Every page seems to have some perfect turn-of-phrase, wild connection...
This sounds excellent! I commend your work in this area. God knows peace needs all the help it can get, these days. As a lifelong promoter of peace myself, I...
Hello, Chloe, and welcome. I hope you join in the discussion. We are all here to read more of and learn from Mr. Campbell. Cheers, Thomas Fortenberry...
If you could own only one book by Joseph Campbell, what would it be? Was there ever a Joseph Campbell Reader or an Essential Joseph Campbell book? Ron...
Hey, Ron, Best book, ouch that is hard. If only one book, I guess either Hero With a Thousand Faces or Myths to Live By. One of my fav series was Masks of...
Thomas, I will keep my eyes peeled for the Hero book when I'm in the book stores! An "Essential Joseph Campbell" or "Joseph Campbell Reader" would be ideal as...

Hi everyone. Great group, thanks. Over the last 15 years I've acquired a nice collection of Joseph Campbell books and tapes. My audio collection has been ...
Welcome Jennifer, I believe `Follow Your Bliss' came after the 60s but for coincidental reasons seems to be associated with hippyism and such. `Do your own...
