Stories Can Unf*ck You! (That Time The Power of Myth Blew My F*cking Mind Pt 4)
Manage episode 482623783 series 3607931
Before there was therapy, breathwork, and podcast hosts to help us get thru these mf times, there was myth. Ancient, poetic-ass myth.
In Part 4 of her Power of Myth series, Suzanne gets deep into "The First Storytellers" and how the first humans didn't just survive by hunting and gathering, but also by telling stories, making art, and taking part in ceremonies and rituals. Myths helped people grieve, heal, make sense of pain, and tap into something bigger than themselves.
Joseph Campbell says myths weren’t meant to be taken literally. Like furniture assembly instructions, they were meant to transform us like a holy tsunami of soul reaching symbolism.
Suzanne gets into why that kind of storytelling still hits deep—and why, sometimes, myth and metaphors can do what facts and logic can’t: unfuck your life and help you keep on keepin on.
