The Power of Myth V: Love and the Goddess, or Love is Love is Love is Love

Campbell and Moyers may stumble into progressive thought, but they get there nonetheless.

Discussion Prompts
  1. Have you read Tristan and Isolde? Do you want to talk about it? Discuss.
  2. I didn’t talk about the role of virgin births in mythology and religion, but Campbell does expound on them. Why do you think they’re important?
  3. Do you agree with Campbell’s take on eros/libido versus romantic love? Why or why not?
  4. What is your favorite song from Animaniacs? Why?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.

  1. The idea of the feminine being necessary for spiritual birth/development resonates. In the Christian triune tradition, we tend to think of all three ‘persons’ as male. Men have dictated the theology for centuries. However, it seems to me that the Spirit, the Comforter, should be regarded as female. All the female qualities are personified therein.
