Andreas is kind of right. The personal subjective experiences of shamans are nothing like writing. You live out and often hallucinate your stories. Isn't that what artists and writers do to an extent, anyway? Hallucinate and live out stories like shamans? And I feel that although your argument is v...

Well, to each their own, but I feel that even though part of Hollywood's agenda is to make a lot of cash, there is also that part where the rewards for enriching lives comes in the form of storytelling. There are even some portions in companies that, although they do care about cash, they also care ...

First off, thanks for replying to my topic, all. I sincerely appreciate it, and I'm looking forward to debating. *laughs* (: @Andreas: Volger's book is a very basic summary of the hero's journey. Reading Jung and Campbell, in the long run, is more beneficial. I agree with Volger that writers are sha...

The Writer and the Shaman
I've been kind of postponing posting this, but I figured I might as well post it anyway. *laughs* This is a follow-up to another thread I posted in another subforum, but I felt that it was necessary to place it here because it's a little more personal than my first thread about Christopher Vogler's ...

Indeed. *laughs* And yes. The art and craft of writing for a reason is powerful. If anything, in a way, I take Vogler's teachings and sort of took them to be part of my spirituality. Because art and writing tend to gravitate towards the soul in some regard. *laughs* And you're very welcome, Cindy! (:

Well, I don't know about Zeus and the concert thing, but I can definitely agree that fictional characters can indeed have a strength to them that can propel the story forward that's independent of popularity or transformation. If their personalities or goals or whatever are what attract the reader/v...

Since music is a powerful tool for any modern day shaman, I would say that for me, Billy Joel works well as a shaman. His music can touch the listener's ears and his words can speak to the people on a different level. His songs, like "River of Dreams" or "This is the Time", can touch the human soul ...

Christopher Vogler: The Writer's Journey
I wasn't so sure where else this would go, and if it needs to be moved to the proper location, feel free to move it. (: But I wanted to bring up this book because I feel it's a very good source of material in that it emphasizes the use of the monomyth throughout screenplays and for writes in general...

So the first piece here is a portrait of a model, who, quoted by my instructor, looks like Marlon Brando from The Godfather. *laughs* http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/117/0/a/0ae5d2409c57761c573c1bf8de2bc464-d7g8h5c.jpg The second original work I want to post is a poem that I did some time ago...

Ty Parsec: The Mythic Hero
Well, I didn't know where to start, so I just decided to post something that I wrote a long while ago. If this isn't the right place to post this, moderators, feel free to move it! This is an article I wrote on my Tumblr page about a cartoon character from a little-known animated series that aired b...
