Incidental Mythology
Mythology has never faded away. It has always been a part of us, lingering in our stories as we continued to tell them throughout time. Our current stories, the popular culture around, are our mythology. Its not mythology through some machinations of corporate capitalists who only want more money from our interest. They’re myths because they just are, incidentally.
At Incidental Mythology we explore our contemporary meaningful stories, and really dig down into what these narratives mean to us and why we care so much to tell them, play them, and watch them.
