When myth incarnates in the waking world, the result can be a revelation. Explore the philosophy of Mythorealism, a new vision for the modern world- as sharp and flexible as tempered steel; as insightful as poetry. Poems and essays by CS Thompson:
Myth Stepping into Matter: Notes on Mythorealism:
The implication of Mythorealism is that there is something more, a magical reality behind reality. What that means, exactly, is up to the individual, but the Mythorealist as an artist will bring this other reality to the forefront, incarnating it in the waking world.
The House of Silence:
The House of Silence
Slumbers by the pit
From which the waking world
Once had its start.
Its windows glitter
Like the distant stars,
But silence,
Always silence
Is its heart.
Reaching up Toward the Fullness- Art Manifesting the Mythic:
Even the horror of nightmare leads us upward to the Fullness, awakening our spirits with its magic- but only if it is embraced. Mythorealist art confronts horror and wonder fearlessly, seeing both of them as pathways. These things do not corrupt the spirit- they help set it free.
The Mythic Ascent:
The spiritual experience, of any kind, is a relationship with the Beyond, with that which cannot be expressed in words or contained in logic. It is a relationship with the unknowable.
Another Way to Know the Gods:
The world we live in is the world of magic- a world where the divine lurks behind every shadow, peers out from between the lines of the ancient stories, reveals itself in random comments and the seemingly mundane, and always retains its mystery because Mystery is what It is.
