Joan and I discussed lots of resources today! Here are several links for additional exploration:
- You can learn more about Joan and the Institute of Archaeomythology at https://www.archaeomythology.org/.
- The OPUS Archives and Research Center at Pacifica Graduate Institute is home to the official libraries of both Marija Gimbutas and Joseph Campbell. You can learn more about both, and explore a virtual exhibit of Marija’s work in honor of the 100th anniversary of her birth here: https://www.opusarchives.org/.
- You can learn more about the hero’s journey, which was outlined in detail by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with A Thousand Faces.
- Valarie Kaur’s Watch Night speech from 2017 is worth watching, over and over again. Her “darkness of the womb” analogy is transformational and electrifying. https://valariekaur.com/2017/01/watch-night-speech-breathe-push/
- This is a good description of how daughter redwood trees rise up around the body of the mother trees:http://www.flowersociety.org/redwood-profile.htm
- The Association for the Study of Women in Mythology is hosting a symposium from July 16-18, 2021 to celebrate the life and work of Marija Gimbutas. You can learn more and register here: https://womenandmyth.org/events/symposium/
