Summary
Details

In the beginning was the word: Mythos. In the unfathomable depths of language and at the dizzying heights of philosophy and theology, man is Homo Mythicus, the being who can hear and tell the unfolding tale of Heaven, Earth, Divinities, Mortals, and Things. Alas, in the dark night of the modern world factory, the echoes of the ancient myths have fallen silent, but lone voices might still dare to ask the question, and lone ears might still attune themselves to hearken: will Another Myth resound for a new beginning? Askr Svarte's Towards Another Myth: A Tale of Heidegger and Traditionalism is a daring exploration of the thickets and abysses of the myth of Being that our world, our history, and we ourselves are. In the ancient revelations of India, Greece, and Germania, in the books of Western philosophy and in the lifeworld of South American tribes, between the lines and fates of modern European poetry, and in the wake of Heidegger and Traditionalist thought, Askr Svarte traces a captivating panorama of the mythopoetic dimension and invites us to ready ourselves for myth anew. Rather than reconstructing the past, Towards Another Myth invites us to rediscover the uncanny mystery of the myth calling to us from within, awaiting its - our - ""new"" beginning.
