MYTHIC CIRCLES FORUMS

August 11, 2024 Forum on Dangerous Flowers/Healing Plants

Circe’s toxic and entheogenic plants, particularly the mythical moly plant, have intrigued readers since Homer first described Odysseus’ sojourn on her magical island.

At this Mythic Circles Forum, we will begin with short readings from Homer (Odyssey), Joyce (Ulysses), and Miller (Circe) on this magical plant, moly, and its antithesis, the toxic datura flower.

Examining the states of consciousness and effects on memory that each plant manipulates, we uncover surprising revelations and promising possibilities for life and living today.

Free and open to all. Please register above

What is a Mythic Circle Forum?

It’s our new website, Zoom meeting, and gathering place where ideas and thoughts on mythology, psychology, sacred plants, and entheogens can be studied and shared in an open and encouraging setting of learning and personal growth.

Each Forum will feature entries to understanding ancient Greek mythology and entheogens through diverse knowledge and approaches, focusing particularly on the work of Carl A.P. Ruck and Carl G. Jung.

Time for questions and discussions will follow presentations.

Carl Ruck will join us at the MYTHIC CIRCLES forums that also will be facilitated by MYTHIC CIRCLES hosts. Readings and “watchings” (videos) are recommended for study ahead of the forum and will be made available to participants. In addition, a friendly optional art/craft/writing challenge will be given beforehand for participants who desire a creative experience of the theme we will be examining through texts.

Forums will run for 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon (EST). A link will be sent to participants who register on the MYTHIC CIRCLES website.

Join us for an exciting inquiry into the past to uncover its mysteries for living today!

All forums are free and open to all. Donations welcomed!

Our Mythic Circles FORUM Experience

Our Mission

MYTHIC CIRCLES seeks to preserve, present, and promote the writings and work of Carl A.P. Ruck, a Classical scholar of Greek mythology and religion, as a model for understanding, insight, and awareness today. A particular focus of our work is the history and current use of entheogens for expansion of consciousness and well-being.
