Daniel Deardorff
"A myth is a story that tells a sacred truth without the use of facts."
Daniel Deardorff is a "Singer" in the old sense of that word, which involves being a musician, a storyteller, and a maker of ritual. He has been a composer and a performing artist for more than four decades. As an independent scholar of myth Deardorff's emphasis is on mythopoesis [myth-making] and the performative aspects of mythic expression. He is the author of The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture & Psyche and is also the founder of The Mythsinger Foundation

Brian did a great job and we burned some of the new wood that Micheal Townsend had delivered, thanks all
so sorry to have missed this event the day took over me and before i knew it it was 8 pm i drummed and chanted at home for you all
Know-not is from the Russian fairy tales and is one of my favorites. It shows a young man of apparent little worth as being secretly of great valor, and a young woman apparently of privilege who exhibits profound discernment.
Dear Circle,
We are coming up to Storynight next week. This is a note to let you know that although I am traveling there will be a story told by my student Brian Rohr. As usual the fire will start around 6:30 and the story around 7:30. I hope you ca…
So my drums are telling me it's time to finally offer a greeting post here - even though my computer battery is about to die.
I own three drums -

Thank you so much for the thought provoking story on the 30th. I lie on the stove of it frequently, despite the busy, chockfullofpeopleandfamily holiday mayhem. the stove carries me! And here to remind you of the magic of fire and water and the heat…
Dear Ones all, I just posted a new blog entry describing the power of Ecstatic Postures to support us mythsingers in growing the new story of human evolution. Please check it out and join the group, spread the fire, whatever fits for you. with delig…
Yes Tim I think the image is paramount in oral consciousness. We use words to create the images but is the running together of images that make the story. As Albert Lord has it:
The singer of tales is at once the tradition and an individual creator…
Tonight, June 30, is storynight. Fire starts at 6:30 story at 7:30.
see you!
The mythic Image, and mythworld dwellers dance into this world on the bridge of the storyteller's breath—the Awen of poetic inspiration

Just wanting to connect. I love your idea about your sharing the Drum Project. Am looking forward to talking more about that.
Here's a thought I think you will enjoy.
religion is for those afraid of going to hell
Spirituality is for those who have been to hell and are on the road to life

Yes, I saw the News Box and think it a wonderful idea. Maybe feature some hot discussion topic monthly - or weekly.... or announce someone's especially well done home page.... or unique skill set ... not sure what is appropriate but the News presents great opportunity for all sorts of things.
I'm trying to figure out how to find location information for groups. first, ot find those close to me. Second, I travel alot and would love to plan to attend some myth groups during my travels, if I can discover how to easily list the groups geographically. Can you help?

In a city with many murals painted on buildings, with Jeff and someone else.
We are in a restaurant and we have wrapped gifts to give and receive. We take turns receiving a set of items and mostly they seem like books. The one I notice is "Be here Now".end of dream.
After Jeff's invitation I remembered the dream and decided we simply must attend.
It was wonderful! A great experience to join together with the stories, listeners, drums.
I have studied dreaming and participated in dream circle for 7 years. I am a preschool teacher and singer.
In graitude,
Lucinda
