Welcome to Litsy!

Thought provoking & well cited. Recent editions include updated carbon dating info. Phenomenal eye-opener that destroys misconceptions about “barbaric” cultures and shows just how barbaric we humans can really be. Reveals how much the current “civilized” religions owe these “primitive” mythological structures. Tightly packed with mind-blowing connections that it took me almost a year to finish it the first time. Read, stop, stare, “whoa,” repeat.

Just started today. Campbell has an interesting writing style, verbose and varied without feeling wordy. The intro is great, pointing out the tendency to mock others beliefs and traditions for being irrational while failing to hold one's own beliefs up to the same standard.
