Riting myth, mythic writing

By Dennis Patrick Slattery

Book Description

Discover the profound stories that shape your inner landscape through the transformative practice of mythic writing. Dennis Patrick Slattery invites readers on an intimate journey of self-exploration, revealing how personal myths unconsciously guide our choices, relationships, and sense of purpose.

This unique blend of theory and practice offers more than 80 carefully crafted writing meditations spread across nine chapters, each designed to help you uncover the deeper narratives that influence your life. Rather than simply analyzing myths from a distance, you become an active participant in excavating your own mythic patterns and themes.

The book serves as both guide and companion for those seeking to understand the psychological forces that operate beneath conscious awareness. Through structured writing exercises, readers learn to recognize the archetypal energies and symbolic patterns that emerge in their personal stories. These meditations create a bridge between the rational mind and the deeper wisdom of the psyche.

Enriching this exploration are authentic responses from participants in the author's writing retreats across the United States and Europe. Their genuine voices demonstrate the universal human need to understand our guiding myths and the profound insights that emerge when we engage consciously with these inner narratives.

Whether you seek greater self-awareness, creative inspiration, or spiritual growth, this pilgrimage into personal mythology offers tools for recognizing and working with the mythic dimensions of your own life story.
