Mythic Mind

In this episode, I share the vision for an exciting new venture taking place under the Mythic Mind banner and I provide a reading and reflection on Grimm's "Little Brier-Rose," which is part of my otherwise Patreon-exclusive series on Grimm's Fairy Tales.Join the Mythic Mind community and support our work at patreon.com/andrewnsnyderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mythic-mind--5808321/support.

I was recently honored to join Jeremy Kee on his podcast, Through the Keyhole, to discuss the reality of myth, Tolkien, Lewis, and more. This is a sample of the conversation.

In this episode, I am joined by John Carswell of the Tolkien Road to discuss Tolkien's essay, "On Fairy-Stories," which is a foundational read for understanding Tolkien's literary philosophy, and particularly his philosophy of fantasy. I often say that I was radicalized by "On Fairy-Stories," so I hope that this conversation is a companion to your own reading!

In this brief episode, I lay out some exciting new paths we'll be taking in 2023, including new Patreon offerings! Patreon: patreon.com/andrewnsnyder Substack: andrewnsnyder.substack.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mythic-mind--5808321/support.

While my current content focus is primarily on the Patreon-exclusive Grimm series, I'm continuing to repurpose old content to keep the public podcast feed alive. In this episode, I read a blog post that I wrote in December of 2020 as my wife and I continued to work through child loss and empty arms. While much has changed since then, there are some experiences that remain forever-present. The joy of Christmas can become salt on the wounds of those who are mourning, so I hope that this short episode provides some degree of solace to those who need it.

To keep the public podcast feed active, I'm continuing to repurpose old content. In this case, I've uploaded a short presentation I recorded a few years ago about what it means to be human. Enjoy!

While my focus is on new content for the Patreon-exclusive Grimm series, I'm continuing to repurpose other content to keep the public feed active, and of course to provide patrons with more content as well.   This is my first content lecture from my Christian Worldview course and it’s simply titled, “The Christian View of the Word.” Of course you don’t have to be a Christian to benefit from this podcast, but I also haven’t hidden my Christian perspective. Whether you share in the faith or not, I hope you find this useful in getting a better understanding of the Christian worldview.

As a reminder, the public podcast feed is on a hiatus during the current Patreon-exclusive series on the Grimm fairy tales. However, so the public feed isn't completely silent, I'm going to start dropping some recycled content over there. This episode is a lecture originally delivered for my "Philosophy and Christian Thought" course that surveys some important themes in the history of Western Thought from ancient Greece to Kierkegaard. This comes from early in my online teaching career, so delivery and audio quality is not superb, but hopefully the content will be of some use to you!
