Project Overview: Myth & Mythos

Myth & Mythos is a living archive of poetic essays that unravel the modern psyche through mythological symbolism, archetypal psychology, and dark literary insight. Each post is crafted as both illumination and invocation—a mirror held up to society’s unconscious through the lens of folklore, rebellion, and deeply personal reflection.

Genre & Format

Mythopoetic Essay Collection / Creative Nonfiction / Visual Philosophy / Dark Psychology

About the Series

This ongoing body of work blends psychological depth with visual storytelling, exploring topics like villain origin myths, sacred madness, the chaos of Lucifer, shadow integration, and the labyrinth of the self. Inspired by the likes of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Alan Moore, and Neil Gaiman, each entry is part spell, part study—aiming to wake readers out of passive consumption and into mythic embodiment.

Ideal for Readers Who

Seek layered, myth-rich essays that feel both ancient and urgent
Are drawn to dark academia, mental health exploration, and archetypal deep-dives
Appreciate a balance of poetic grit and psychological clarity

Publishing Vision

Myth & Mythos is currently expanding into a curated essay collection for print publication, designed to be read as a standalone mythology of the modern psyche. Ideal for independent or hybrid presses interested in poetic nonfiction with artistic and philosophical resonance. Each essay may also be adapted as voiceover + visual video content, graphic essay zines, or transmedia features.
