A fascinating analysis of the themes and motifs common to the mythologies and oral traditions of a variety of ancient cultures. Campbell delves into mythology in search of some perennial or fundamental truth.

Wow. I’m shook that you chose this passage. It was literally my favorite passage in the first portion of the book.
My jaw dropped when I read this and I took a photo of it and stored it in my phone. I have an album of excerpts for quick reference and this was one of them. Love that this resonated with you as much as it did for me.
And yes… all this through Lemmy makes it seem like it is truly the first step in our collective heroes journey. We just have to return to the centralized lands to tell of the federated and decentralized lands ;)
Haha, no way! It’s an incredibly beautiful piece of writing.
I must admit that I’ve been thinking similarly about Lemmy being a sort of collective hero’s journey. We shall one day free the masses from the iron grip of the corporate internet. Glad to be alone together with you fine people :)
