Martin Shaw's Journey: Mythology and Mystical Experiences

Martin Shaw embarked on a transformative journey in the wilderness, fasting for four days and nights on a mountain, which led to a profound epiphany and a mystical experience. This encounter prompted him to resign from his music career, live in a tent for four years, and delve into the realm of mythology. Shaw's realization of the ineffable mystery he experienced in the woods motivated him to pursue a doctorate in mythological studies. He recognized the need to communicate his encounter in a language others could understand, as he was initially speechless. This journey into mythology and storytelling served as a way for Shaw to make sense of the mystical experience he had and share it with others through leading wilderness fasts and academic courses.
