muted_seraph@bellsouth.net AboutThe Power of Myth is a community dedicated to the discussion of myth, metaphor, religion, and philosophy in a cross-cultural sense as espoused by Joseph Campbell(1904-1987). However, knowledge of Campbell's work is not a prerequisite, as it is hoped people interested in learning more about him and his writings will join. Feel free to ask any questions you can think of having to do with Joseph Campbell, myth, religion, etc. Chances are, someone here can answer it.

The Rules
- Discuss myth, religion and metaphor and topics related to
those things. Preferably in relation to Joseph Campbell's works,
though that isn't necessarily a prerequisite. - At least pretend you have a passable knowledge of English.
This means using appropriate punctuation, capitilization, and
line breaks. - Respect other members, even if their beliefs differ from
yours. - Keep an open mind.
- Have a sense of humor.
- Make posts with the comments disabled.
- Insult, bait, flame, or make ad hominem attacks. It makes
people discount anything good you might have to say, and makes
you look bad. - Proselytize. I don't like it. Most people I know don't like
it. So don't do it.
- Posting without reading the rules. Is it that hard?
- Trolling.
- Spam.

Raving Theosophy community.
