The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places;
but still there is much that is fair;
and though in all lands
love is now mingled with grief,
it grows perhaps the greater.
(J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring)

......Midsummer's Eve 2003...
Announcement

As many of you know already,  I retired from Pacifica earlier this month and relocated to an ivy-covered house built c. 1910 in SW Michigan.  Former students won't be surprised to learn that I've named it "Green Man Abbey."  Here I'll be doing freelance writing, working on several books & scripts, teaching workshops, and resuming my private practice as a past life regression "guide."

As for Myth*ing Links, I did seriously consider letting it go, but I've invested too much love in it to do that -- so it'll remain.   My thanks to the many who have sent warm wishes as I begin this new cycle in my life -- I won't have time to respond personally,  but your kindness is deeply appreciated.  As  workshops, lectures, and other public activities arise, I'll announce them on this page.

Note: if you're interested in Pastlife Regression Sessions with me, I have a new page with further information: Perspectives on Exploring Past Lives.

15 October 2003: I have added a Frequently Asked Questions page about past lives.
January 2005:  I'm now doing pastlife sessions by telephone as well as one-on-one (see any of these pastlife pages for further information or for my e-mail address).
20 January 2006: I have now added a third, basic page: What Is a Past Life?
24 August 2006: the 3 earlier pages on past lives now are part of an entirely new section of their own. They are linked to a new introductory Reincarnation Portal Page with a new essay.
27-28 August 2006: the above pages are also listed under "Reincarnation" in my Common Themes section, and another new essay, Letter to a Child, has been added.
26 February 2007:  For the convenience of those who have asked, I am now accepting payment through  for pastlife sessions: Pastlife Regression Portal Page

10 May 2005:  I am delighted to announce that I am now the mythology consultant and author of the "Companion Guide" for game-2 of a three game series of video games, Journey to Wild Divine. I'm not a "gamer," yet I fell in love with game-1.  It begins as a rich, moving "creation myth" with an opening narration by my longtime friend, Jean Houston.  It uses biofeedback to enhance its interactive quality in remarkable ways (because of its relaxing health benefits, the game's creator, Corwin Bell, has been invited to speak at major hospitals & medical conferences across the country).  In the past year, game-1 has sold over 40,000 copies -- 51% of its audience are women, many of them first-time gamers.  Game-2 is scheduled for release October 1, 2005.

5 December 2005: Game-2 of Journey to Wild Divine, "Wisdom Quest," is now available.  The "Companion Guide" I wrote is forthcoming (see directly below for August 2006 update).  Click on the link at the top of this page for more info,  or visit my review of Game-1, "The Passage," at:Journey to Wild Divine.
11 August 2006: please click here for information on the just released $9.95 pdf download (see directly above) of the book I wrote for Game-2 of the Wild Divine video game: The Wisdom Quest's Companion Guide.

Artist, Melanie Renn, has created a free online photoshow around a prayer, "As Autumn Returns," that I wrote a handful of years ago for my autumn equinox page.  Her work has a Native American focus and is truly beautiful -- music, art, and words all blend together. It's at: http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/uQ4iC2zy

<<<NEW>>>
Other recent additions will be indicated by
dated signs in the Table of Contents.

29 April 2008: the Beltane/May Day page was updated last week -- and new links added.

9 March 2008: my Spring Greetings & Lore page has now been updated. It opens with Lauren Raine's fierce, compassionate "The Curse of the Morrigan." Don't miss her work -- it's awesome.

1-2 February, 4am: my Imbolc page has now been updated, also my Green Man page (with a new sponsored link at the bottom to a British site offering wonderfully unique Green Men).

24 January 2008, 2:33am: as of a few days ago, and with many mixed feelings, I now have a blog. It's called "Subbing / Grubbing" and is about my experiences in substitute teaching in today's world of peculiar educational standards. Please feel free to leave comments, although I will probably not have time to respond. But I hope others will, and a fine dialogue might ensue.

1 January 2008, 1:05am: I have just launched a new page on the Greek goddess of fire and hearth, Hestia (Roman, Vesta) -- I began it in early May and finally completed it earlier this evening. Still on the fire theme, due to very positive feedback on my Presence Lamp Essay for this year's Solstice/Yule/Christmas page, I have given the essay its own fast-loading page in my Crone Papers section. Finally, many blessings to all of you in this New Year!

22 December 2007, 8:24 pm: my Winter Solstice/Yuletide/Christmas pages still have broken links that have vanished into cyberspace over the past 12 months -- with apologies, I may not have time to update them this year. After many hours of work, however, my annual essay is now online (with thanks to my Links-Elf, Michaela, for her sensitive feedback). I hope it will touch you in a special way.

18 December 2007, 11:55 pm:  I'm late with this year's Winter Solstice/Yuletide/Christmas pages (see above), which are still in progress (although dates and times for winter solstice, etc have been updated).  But I'm early with the next Lunar New Year, the Earth Rat Year, starting 7 February 2008, the beginning of a new 12 year cycle.

8 December 2007, 6 pm: In my Asian/India section, I have now added Vak and the Churning of the Ocean, my re-telling of a core Hindu myth about the origins of Indic sacred theatre. This is for the drama students at Watervliet High School.

21 November 2007: I just launched a short page of Anti-War Quotes in my Common Themes section.

28 October 2007, 3:52 am:  links on my Samhain/Halloween and Day of the Dead pages have now been updated for this year.

13 October 2007, 3:45 am: nearly a decade ago I was hired by Russian Sunbirds, an importer of lovely lacquer boxes, to re-tell the Russian folktale of The Stone Flower, a longtime favorite of mine ever since I saw Ptushko's 1946 "Stone Flower" film as a child in a small art gallery in Muskegon, Michigan.  Since Russian Sunbirds has now disappeared from the web, I have decided to rescue my re-telling of this tale. In doing so, I  have added new art to this marvelous tale of human love in the midst of devic/divine intervention. /// Tonight, I have also added a page taken from the New York Times on China and Tibetan Reincarnation.

NOTE: To prevent this "New" section from getting too long, I am transferring its other recent additions to an Archival Page.  Currently, this covers from May 26, 1999 to 25 August 2007.  For those who like to keep track of more frequent, nuts & bolts changes, please see my Updates Diary [11/4/04: unfortunately, not updated in ages -- ::sigh::].

 CURRENT EVENTS:

Many visitors assume that a mythologist like me focuses only on ancient times, but this is incorrect.  I am also passionate about my own times, especially since so many toxic myths and legends from the past continue to influence (and corrupt) today's decisions.  I hope you'll explore this new Current Events page -- a collection from other sites as well as Myth*ing Links relating to the world we inhabit today.

NOTE: many external links in the above Current Events section are updated daily, others weekly.  In these times of shrinking news coverage by mainstream TV networks, it's all the more crucial that we find ways of remaining informed about the deeper issues.  It does help to know how many others share our deep concerns.

In addition to the new Current Events page, below are direct links to 4 of my other pages with clear ties to our contemporary world:

The Three Desert-Born Monotheisms
Wars, Weapons, & Lies: The Dehumanizing Impulse
Artists & Muses: The Creative Impulse
Spring Equinox 2003

20 April 2004:  I'd like to call your attention to the most humane and moving review I've seen so far of Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ -- it's by Rabbi Harold Schulweis at: http://www.vbs.org/rabbi/hshulw/passion_bot.htm.

I'd also like to mention another aspect of the current movie scene -- the "Spiritual Cinema Circle" started by Stephen (Deutsch) Simon (producer of Somewhere in Time and other films).  He attends film festivals all over the world and gets DVD rights to films most of us would never get to see otherwise.  If you join, you get 3-5 films every month -- some are shorts, others are feature length: http://spiritualcinemacircle.com/.  I don't always agree with their choices but I love that they're doing this.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CORNER

26 July 2007, Thursday, 10:45pm: This is a new section that collects in one place my Factory Farm / Industrial Agriculture pages plus my environmentally-focused pages, all of which were formerly listed in the Common Themes section.  This new section looks at issues relevant to clean air, water, food, and fairness to the creatures who have been here as long, or longer, than we have and who share this environment with us. If you have bookmarked earlier Common Themes links that are now in this new section, please note that URLs will not change. I have moved them to this new section but have left older URLs intact.

CRONE PAPERS
A Collection of Essays & Other Writings by Kathleen Jenks, Ph.D.

23 June 2002, Sunday, 11 am: after weeks of work in rare moments of free time, I am launching a new section, CRONE PAPERS: A Collection of Essays & Other Writings.  The collection comes from my various page-introductions scattered throughout Myth*ing Links.  There are currently 13 pieces in the collection with more to be added as time permits.  Gathering them in one convenient place will make them more accessible to the many readers who have asked me to do this.

Note: this is a separate section of Myth*ing Links with its own separate Table of Contents on its portal-page.

10 May 2005, Tuesday, 2:15am: there is now a new subsection within CRONE PAPERS called Notes on Books & Video Games -- this portal page has its own Table of Contents.

...My Personal Friends:
Recommended Links to Healers, Writers, & Artists
Added 28 July 2006

Since Myth*ing Links is designed for student research, I have added this section containing online libraries, reference help, literary texts, data on world languages, help on writing research papers (both MLA and APA), information on copyright "myths," movie links (especially for those of you searching for film plots, themes, and/or films representing various historical periods), and also sites simply for word-lovers.

This page for teachers (or for those who homeschool) contains links to mythology, folklore, and general sites with data and lesson plans for grades K-12.  Lovely images come from African-American and Russian artists.  (On 11/1/99, the Open Directory Project designated this page as a "Cool Site.")

Beginning with the superb "Voice of the Shuttle: Web Page for Humanities Research,"this section looks at very large and comprehensive collections.

This section includes unannotated links to Pacifica faculty, graduates, & student webpages plus sites on Jung, Campbell, Freud, Eliade, Otto, Hillman, other depth psychologists, mysticism, anthropology, religious studies, archetypal perspectives, foundations for mythology & psychology, relevant journals, books, videos, etc.

8/29/00 -- I have deleted my codes indicating stages of completion for each page.  Only the most recent updates or new pages will be noted.  By "recent," I mean the past 10-12 months.
means the page is music-enhanced -- controls to pause or stop the sound are at the bottom of these pages.
IMPORTANT -- links to more recent new pages under "Common Themes" will not yet appear on earlier pages -- you'll need to return to this home page for the most up-to-date menu.

[Why & What]

AWARDS PAGE

CREDITS PAGE

.....8 September 2004: About dead & broken links,  it's impossible for me to stay caught up -- some die within hours or days of my launching a new page.  If you find a dead link and really yearn to see what was on that page, several of my readers have sent me the following "time machine" link that has archived 30 billion pages dating back to 1996 -- it's easy to use and really works:  http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

NOTE: I strongly support:... I'm tired of sites who have stopped coding for older browsers. Many of us -- senior citizens as well as countless people in the Third World -- whether through choice or economic pressures -- do not have computers with all the whistles & bells.  I object to those who consider us insignificant and who create sites we cannot access [8 April 2002, 4am].

Privacy Policy: as of 11/5/06, this site uses a Google cookie that collects anonymous traffic data.  I will not (and will not allow any third party to) use this service to track or collect personally identifiable information of Internet users, nor will I (or will I allow any third party to) associate any data gathered from my website(s) (or such third parties' website(s) with any personally identifying information from any source as part of my use (or such third parties' use) of the service.

From mid-December 2001 onwards, site hosted by: .
[February 14, 2007: I have now been with Future Quest for over 5 years and can honestly say that if anyone is seeking a reliable and principled web host, these folks are the best.

December 2001 -- FYI: my only "working" e-mail is below --
any other e-mail link among my many pages is broken.

Update, 6 May 2003 & 6 December 2006: If you have comments, suggestions, or wish to report a broken link,  please e-mail me at : jenks7ATacd.net, replacing the ATwith the @symbol after you copy & paste the address into your e-mail.   (FYI: as of 11 May 2004, I removed my direct emailing link from this site due to relentless email robot-spamming. That is the reason for the above "AT.")

Please note that this is a one-woman operation and my free time is quite rare.
If I do not get back to you, it's due to lack of time, not interest.

Note: Please don't ask for homework or research help.  I created this huge website and its Search Engines so that you can find answers for yourself <smile>. You will also find resources on my General Reference page.  If you need further help, please check with your own instructors or librarians.   Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

8 August 2004: If you wish to contact me about including your link on my pages, please know that I am at least 2 years behind and have a huge backlog of ungrokked links.  I am not interested in link exchanges or commercial links but I do try to look at all educational and/or academic ones.  However, you'll need to be patient.  As noted above, this is a one-woman operation.  If I do not get back to you, it's due to lack of time, not interest. <><><><><><><><><><><><><>

As noted above, I was the mythology consultant on Game-2, Wisdom Quest, of this series.
 I also wrote Wisdom Quest's "Companion Guide"  (a novella in journal-style).
