Back To Index Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth
 Barnes & Noble Renowned teacher and storyteller Joseph Campbell joins Bill Moyers in this acclaimed series exploring the meaning myths have in our daily lives. Each of the six episodes --"The Heros Adventure," "The Message of the Myth," "The First Storytellers," "Sacrifice and Bliss," "Love and the Goddess," and "Masks of Eternity" -- focuses on a character or theme found in mythologies of various cultures and religions. In his lively discussions with Moyers, Campell argues eloquently that these timeless archetypes continue to exert a powerful pull on our unconscious.

The wealth of Joseph Campbells knowledge, compassion and zeal for life is so motivational and inspiring. I was fortunate enough to meet him in my early 20s so this audio visual presentation of his theories and philosophies is very dear to my heart. The idea of myth being an integral part of our daily lives and a link for all humanity gives me great comfort in this crazy world!A student of life, and seeker of wisdom and knowledge, December 1, 2004 Recommended for Expanding the MindJoseph Campbell was a unique and gifted man. He has contributed many useful and insightful teachings to our culture. Although his work can be dry and highly dense to the initiate, as I once was, in time, with repeated viewing I was given the opportunity to grow, learn, and understand the world as it is, with its beauties as well as its horrors, so as to more thoroughly engage in the human experience. It takes time to become the person we all wish we could be. And, for me at least, this series has helped me realize things about myself that I would not otherwise have learned and been exposed to.Hebenstreit, A reviewer, November 28, 2004 A spiritual translation for the world of religionLike a favorite song, youll watch it over and over, gleaning something from it you hadnt found before. Each epiphany will reveal new ways to understand everything you thought you new about religion and your spiritual existance. We live in a world much larger than whats been revealed to us through our own myths and rituals. This goes in depth in how to understand and assimilate that fact.M.
