*This project is deeply indebted to the powerful ideas and work of Joseph Campbell (1904 – 1987), a mythologist and lecturer famous for advancing the field of comparative mythology. The significance of his teachings echoes far beyond the field of mythology, and it is well worth your time to seek out his works.
