I'm so glad you brought up Joseph Campbell! His lineage has gotten so meme-ified and outplayed especially in the new age/manifestation circles, which are all heavily swinging to the far right now- but of course? The hero's journey seems like the counter point to the mundane glory of typical femme work of maintenance. here here for maintenance work and pushing back on rebranding/re-enticing. I prefer to keep aligned with Federici's view of re-enchantment- there's so much depth and beauty and inspiration right around us (in the muck of motherhood especially), if we slow down enough to really see it.
Reading this was such a balm. Have been underachieving hard with my newsletter recently and feeling the tension of whether i need to pivot or just celebrate that no one really cares and move on. the version of the pivot is "if i did this for myself, and it's not serving me, maybe it needs to be something else now" but of course the rebranding is a never-ending hamster wheel. Thank you...
