Do people look at you strangely when you mention the trickster? Does your family ignore your goddess sightings? Do they roll their eyes at your favorite phrases: imaginal realm, liminal space, follow your bliss?

Then join the Fates and Graces Mythologium! The Mythologium is a two-and-a-half day conference and retreat for mythologists and friends of myth. Think Plato’s symposium meets mythological studies. A gymnasium for the mythic mind. Flyer for Mythologium Registration At the Mythologium, scholars of mythology present their work, and we spark inspiration through panels, poetry, and social gatherings.  Registration closes July 15th.

Keynote Speaker

Our 2021 keynote speaker will be Dennis Patrick Slattery, PhD. If you already know Dennis’s work, you’ll understand why we’re so thrilled to have him join the program. If you don’t know his work yet, your soul is in store for a treat.  His presentation will explore the power of a contagion as a large encompassing metaphor, to heal as it wounds. Such a pollution can be an occasion, even opportunity, for the gods to enter the arena to provoke us into a level of awareness that we could not have understood without an invasive infection that inflects our lives into a greater mytho-spiritual consciousness.
