The Power of Myth at the Movies: Fool, Lover, Trickster

"I think that the movie is the perfect medium for mythological messages. The medium is so plastic and pliable and magic things can happen.” -- Joseph Campbell, The Wisdom of Joseph Campbell (© 1997 New Dimensions Foundation) Tape 3, Side 1

In his book Creative Mythology, Joseph Campbell explores mythic images and symbols in the European tradition starting in the Middle Ages. But these ideas also apply to today’s cinema, a mythic medium that literally runs on images at the rate of twenty-four frames per second.

At this free webinar with the Joseph Campbell Foundation, you'll learn about Creative Mythology and how mythic patterns appear in movies, focusing on the Foundation's first three archetypes of the year: the Fool, the Lover, and the Trickster. The symbols and images of these archetypes can inspire your creative work, offer insights into psychological patterns, and help you work with these energies in your own life.

Register today to deepen your relationship with these key archetypes and experience the power of myth at the movies!
