Hi everyone. I'm Josh, and this is The Emerald, Currants and Trends Through a Mythic Lens,

the podcast where we explore an ever-changing world and our lives in it through the lens of

myth, story, and imagination.

The Emerald.

All that's happening on this green jewel in space. Good morning.

This episode is full of bold, mythic pronouncements,

and trumpet-accompanied annunciations. So I feel like

it's also a good time to announce right here at the beginning that the mythic body, my year-long

course, is open for registration at the mythicbody.com slash courses. It's a deep dive into the animate traditions of the world.

It's an exploration of the heart of global ritual tradition. It's a journey to deepen our

relationship with a living, breathing cosmos and with living breathing story. And it's a vibrant community

of people who are longing for reconnection and supporting each

other in this deep exploration of what reconnection means.

So there's a lot of talk these days about the necessity of rekindling our connection to the

living world, right?

Ultimately, this course is an exploration of how to do just that, not abstractly, but

tangibly, step by step through a vibrant curriculum that's based in many decades of practice

and study. And I'll just say with all honesty that I've poured my heart and soul into this

course, and we've made some changes to the

course format to make it more inclusive and accessible and affordable. So if you've considered it

before and haven't done it, check it out now. It's transformed, and I'm deeply excited by the

transformation. And the new format also means that it's not going to end after a year.
