Mythological Studies Journal (Volume XI) 2023

This year’s edition of The Mythological Studies Journal is without a theme for the third year in a row. The pieces selected were chosen for how they excite, and how they move within the field of myth. In these pieces are curiosity-driven explorations pursuing the guidance of Joseph Campbell: “The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature” (202). These works do the job of path-finding with that heartbeat as a guide. They result in trail-building as new connections are forged.
