Opis

In this consumer age, the most reasoned voices for sustainability are, perhaps surprisingly, from the endangered people who have lived in balance with their environment for thousands of years. Far from "primitive," the mythological worldview of these people teaches a sustainable equilibrium; entrains a profound self-awareness; and may hold the secret to harmonious living conspicuously absent within our technological age. The Heart of Myth: Wisdom Stories From Endangered People opens up a whole world of living myth and its immense relevance to our lives. Readers will: -Understand and directly experience the mythological worldview -Enjoy stories from the living polytheistic communities of six continents -Discover how they can help these endangered communities This collection of myths lists resources to aid these cultures in peril. Thus, Heart promises to be a positive force affecting the lives of endangered peoples.
