Welcome to The Mythsinger Consortium: an "intentional" online community

The idea of the shaman-bard, griot, skald, maggid, as the "singer" of mysteries—Myth as sacred truth—gives us the term ‘mythsinger.’ It is our hope that whatever we do we strive to make it sing—to let it resonate in ways that communicate on many conscious and unconscious levels. Together in this consortium we look for the places and moments in which our disparate approaches converge. It is our conviction that mythopoeic soul-work—expressive arts, wild rites, ritual life, and mythtelling—are informed by the deep-song of our myth-making heritage. We hope you’ll join us in a multivocal conversation aimed at building a community which inspires each of us to greater commitment and a deeper life.
