A new project
Hello friends,
I’ve spent the day today, for the most part, reading. Lots of reading on a variety of different subjects: Daniel Boone, the Founding of Nashville, John Sevier, and the analysis of folktales from a psycho-analytical perspective. While I found all these subjects interesting, it was the last that most got my attention. To summarize in (very) brief: myths and folktales can be viewed from a Jungian vantage point to contain a variety of symbols (cultural and universal) that reveal things about the human experience and lessons given to us by our predecessors. While this reading does get dense at times, it is fascinating, and has inspired me onto a new, hopefully soon to be released project.
I intend to apply my new learning about the structure and symbols imbedded in folklore and attempt to write my own story in the folktale format. I consider it a way to process my new knowledge, and what better way to process then by applying. I have some ideas tumbling about in my head, but nothing definite yet. I do plan on releasing a version it soon on this website, so please come back and check it out when it is up. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
But, until then, may all the best stories find you and may you all rest with a smile on your face.
Best,
Lethan
