Solstice Ritual - In This Darkness Singing
In a world that is increasingly divided and polarized, the need to come together in meaningful ways grows ever greater. Throughout history, solstice has been a time to gather together in the face of darkness and uncertainty. Solstice means “sun stands still,” as at the darkest time of the year the pulse of life stops for a timeless moment, before the light can return and renew the energy of people and the Earth.
Traditional cultures around the world imagined that humans played a role in bringing the light back from the darkness. The human soul was once known as “the light found in the darkness.” The rebirth of the sun reflects a potential awakening of the heart and soul of each person. When the light of the soul grows within us, it also contributes light to the world.
In the midst of the anxieties, conflicts and tragedies affecting the world, it is the sense of timelessness and sacredness that we most need. In facing the darkness together we can find and touch the divine spark of life as each soul connects through prayer and song to the living earth and the Soul of the World.

Living Myth Podcast 414 - Solstice and the Tree of Life
มุมมอง 16K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
On this winter solstice episode, Michael Meade states at the beginning: “This is not just the dark time of the year, but increasingly dark times for everyone, especially for those who care for the souls of other people and for the well-being of the earth we all live on.” He goes on to describe how ancient symbols and practices at the Winter Solstice served as a reminder of the cosmological conn...

Living Authentically in Troubled Times
มุมมอง 3.8K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
The increasing sense of uncertainty that now plagues the world around us creates a greater sense of vulnerability and anxiety within us. When the world becomes flooded with conflicts and fear, a greater psychological understanding and a deeper sense of self is what we need to survive and grow. There is a core imagination and primary orientation to life that each soul carries from the beginning....
Living Myth Podcast 413 - From Polarization to Re-Creation
มุมมอง 91921 วันที่ผ่านมา
This episode of Living Myth begins with the word polarization being chosen as the dictionary word of the year and ironically being the one thing that both sides of the political spectrum agree upon. The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines polarization as “a division into sharply distinct opposites in which opinions and no longer range along a continuum, but become concentrated at opposing extrem...
Living Myth Podcast 412 - Living in Two Worlds
มุมมอง 1.2K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
This episode of Living Myth begins with the recognition that, what the United Nations calls “the biggest election year ever recorded,” has left most countries on Earth more divided and less free. Any issue that arises quickly becomes another example of two opposing attitudes or conflicting views of life. As increased polarization fractures any sense of civil society, people come to believe that...
Arts and Practices: Antidotes to Overwhelm, Sources of Resiliency
มุมมอง 2.7K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
As the world becomes a more chaotic and conflicted place, turning to creative practices can help us find ways to settle and center and grow a greater sense of self and soul. Throughout the ages, meaningful practices have served as healing roads and primary ways to find psychological and spiritual growth as well as moments of wholeness and inner unity. Through a meaningful practice we can gain a...
Living Myth Podcast 411 - The Necessity of Gratitude
มุมมอง 2.7Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Michael Meade answers questions about the sources and meanings of grace and gratitude. Gratitude used to be called the “parent of all virtues”, and its presence indicates the natural nobility of the human soul. We are most human and most alive when we allow ourselves to be touched by the beauty of the world and when we feel genuine gratitude for the life we have been given, no matter how hard o...
Living Myth Podcast Episode 410 - On Hope and Despair
มุมมอง 994หลายเดือนก่อน
This episode begins with the old idea that emotions travel in pairs. Sorrow tends to travel with joy, so that if we allow sorrow to penetrate us, it will pull us to a deep level of our soul where joy can provide a renewal of spirit that lifts us back up. On the other hand, when we deny the grief and sorrows that enter our lives, we wind up losing our capacity for joy. Another natural pairing of...
Connecting to Our Deep Self
มุมมอง 2.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
The fragmentation and polarization that trouble the outside world is also felt deeply within us. Since the world will not settle soon, the unity and wholeness so sorely missing in the outer world must be found within us as well. As things fall apart the “knowing self” within moves closer to the surface, seeking to become more conscious to us. In order to avoid overwhelm and find meaningful life...
Living Myth Podcast 409 - The Law of the Fish vs. The Rule of Law
มุมมอง 889หลายเดือนก่อน
On this episode of Living Myth, Michael Meade turns to an ancient myth from India to show how elections can have such dire consequences that the rule of law becomes replaced with the “law of the fishes.” In the great oceans the big fish endlessly devour the little fish and the same drama is often replicated in the realm of culture, where every pond has its big fish and the small fry continually...
Living Myth Podcast 408 - To Not Be Lost
มุมมอง 1.4Kหลายเดือนก่อน
It is our mutual fate to live in a time of such disorientation and upheaval that the institutions we hoped would protect us cannot keep up with the flood of changes pouring through both nature and human culture. It makes sense that we could feel lost when the present is full of chaos and fear, while the future looks increasingly uncertain. In the long run, we are not simply in a battle between ...
Change the Soul, Change the World
มุมมอง 1.7K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
In the midst of crises, the soul tries to become conscious. If we awaken to our own calling, face our own fears and find our own destinies, then we become able to help change the outer world. There's an old idea that said humans are the make weights in the scales of time. Humans are but a speck in the universe on one hand, but because the soul is secretly connected all the way back to the origi...
Living Myth Podcast 407 - Antidotes to Uncertainty
มุมมอง 9882 หลายเดือนก่อน
This episode of Living Myth begins with excerpts from a new psychological survey that a majority of American adults are worried that the upcoming presidential election could be the end of democracy in the United States. More than 7 in 10 people fear the results could lead to widespread violence. While it is clear that the political stakes are high, the levels of uncertainty and fear are even hi...
Living Myth Podcast 406 - Men, the Soul and the Search for Truth

This episode of Living Myth addresses the issue of the “strongman” in politics and the way it exemplifies and contributes to a loss of authenticity, a lack of integrity and a loss of soul in modern cultures. “As a storyteller and someone who studies mythology, I carry stories around, maybe in the same way that someone might carry food or medicine or equipment in a backpack in case a need arises...

    The ever green Christmas tree of life. Is the tree that holds all the 9 realms. The 7 planets plus the sun and the moon. Odin is prolly there at the north pole right now laughing like a bowl full of jelly himself. The little bear or little dipper and the big bear circle him. His eight legs of this horrible hobby horse sleipner guide him through the night sky today.
