In Search of Harmony: a Mythic Journey Across Cultures.
Article By Nataliya Petlevych posted by UK, January 15, 2026
“Harmony is the source of manifestation, the cause of its existence, and the medium between God and man.” Hazrat Inayat Khan
Throughout history and across civilizations, harmony has been an eternal companion to humanity. No age or culture has existed without its presence. It has taken form as a goddess – Harmonia, Concordia – or has been present as a divinity of truth, order and...
Romanticism or Realism?
Article By Julian Scott posted by UK, December 30, 2025
This question occurred to me as I was coming to the end of the 19th century novel Middlemarch by George Eliot (the pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans). As the characters’ lives and actions came to fruition I found myself thinking: would this person’s life really have ended like this (so happily), or would they have ended up in a pit of despair? Not that they all ended up living ‘happily ever...

It is now a well-known fact that reading or telling stories to children starting from a young age has many developmental benefits.

Article By Nataliya Petlevych posted by UK, July 6, 2022
Stories of ancient civilizations appear and evolve in the flow of time. The symbols they contain are multivalent and complex and the pursuit of meaning is never a simple task.
Ancient Mexican legends tell of great cycles of construction and deconstruction of the world. There was a new dawn, a new age was about to begin, but the sun created...
Heroic Symbols of the Feminine: The Myth of Eros and Psyche
In this article I will look at the archetypal hero’s journey with particular reference to its feminine aspect and symbolism. Symbols resonate on all levels of nature, meaning that feminine does not refer only to gender or biology (although there might be some relevant keys) but rather the understanding that the feminine is a principle that subsists in all humans, in all living things and on all levels from the psychical to the universal and archetypal.
In general, we tend to be more...
The Symbolism of Renewal
As we approach the Vernal or Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) once more, human beings today and over millennia have found various ways to note and celebrate the renewal of Nature’s cycle. The Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere takes place every year on or around 21 March. In 2023, the Spring Equinox will take place on 20 March at 9.24pm (Greenwich Mean Time). The seasons on Earth change because the planet is tilted on its axis as it travels around the sun. At the time...
Theseus and the Minotaur: The Defining Human Image
The image of Theseus, hero of Attica, standing at the centre of the labyrinth, holding a magical thread (called a clue) brandishing his sword, about to face destiny in a moment of reckoning with the Minotaur, is perhaps one of the most defining scenes from mythology with a symbolism both rich and complex.
What this scene reveals is worthy of meditation and there are several useful keys of interpretation available to us. To begin, let us recall that according to Joseph Campbell, the...
Tales from the Ramayana – The Abduction of Sita
In the world of literature there are a few well known epic stories in which the plot is built around the abduction of a woman. In the East one of them is the ancient Indian story of the Ramayana, and in the West, there is the ancient Greek story of the Iliad.
These are not just stories of men and women, but also of gods and goddesses. According to tradition there were times when gods would descend to Earth and bring justice in times of spiritual crisis and moral disorder. In ancient India,...
The Hero, Life and the Creation of the Sun
The wisdom tradition and religious thought of the ancient Aztecs is shrouded in mystery. Whilst we cannot completely ‘know’ how these people encountered life, we can intuitively enter an understanding of how they thought, using symbolic language to decipher what remains perceivable through the shifting sands of time.
One such remaining treasure is the myth of Chicovaneg and the Creation of the Sun. The story describes a time when an original sun had been extinguished by the...
