Reclaiming our Mythic Mojo

My friend, Jeff Leinaweaver PhD, an extraordinary man, asked me to help him launch a Joseph Campbell Foundation Mythological Roundtable Group here on the island where we live near Seattle, WA. Sunday the 17th of August was our launch. Our group’s conversation that night still has me buzzing but I was even more surprised by the revelations that came to me as I prepared to tell one of Campbell’s favorite myths. On the surface, we all know the story of the Frog Prince, where the power of a kiss transforms ugliness to beauty. But in this version, perhaps older and closer to the original, there is no kiss but a SPLAT.
