Mystechal Mentoring

Potent archetypal energies are rising in our current age, energies that need to be recognized, honored, and engaged with in a creative way so as to partner with them, channeling them back into the into the endeavors and realms of social artistry and world building. The bardic society of Mystecha is being birthed and developed to help address this issue. Mystecha is a community of people devoted to the dissemination and exploration of tech-gnosis, high touch-high tech options that promote the bridging of age old mysteries of myth, magic and mysticism to the new gnosis of the technical information age. To this end, Mystecha is dedicated to nourishing the sacred and social artists of the future, be they bards, musicians, poets, artists, healers and leaders, through its symposiums, guilds and outreach programs dedicated to the cauldrons of social, spiritual and artistic transformation.

We are embarking on a major creative collaboration that seeks to address, through high tech and high touch, the archetypal challenges rising to affect our world in this day and age. Mystecha will be developed as a lyceum-like community that is rooted deep in the ancient mystery traditions and philosophical academies. It will be composed of a suite of modules of social artistry that are dedicated to the cause of world building and world bridging. The lyceum, both online and communally active, will serve as a gathering place of shared learning and mentoring, as an outreach center for youth of all ages, cultures and countries who seek to tie into a network of support, mentoring, and intercultural sharing within the global village. In this time of cybernetic advance, it will meld both the old with the new, ancient mythology and mystery school teachings intermingled with modern technology and techgnosis. Its purpose will be to address world issues creatively, promoting guilds, mentorship and world bridging exercises for a bevy of Artists, Healers, Midwifes of Transition, Ritualists, Mythologists, Writers, Poets, future leaders and thinkers, and any others interested in being partnered by the imaginal realm for the purpose of activating newly seeded potentials. Such a model is intended to serve as a microcosmic actuality for some future macrocosmic possibility, and will include a potent community of young and old, men and women, mystics, muses, mentors and activists who are intoxicated by issues both new and old, and dedicated to lives of service and intercultural exchange.

In this world of information and dis-information, few have been trained to creatively deal with, or even knowledgeably think about the world challenges we currently face. The staggering consequence of our new capacities and technology has catapulted us into a situation where we are now becoming directors of a world that once directed us. Added to this, potent archetypal energies seem to be rising that few know how to harness and use for the betterment of the world and society. As a result, we need a community that can help to merge the ancient myths with the modern urgencies of our day. The time is ripe for artistic endeavors built on archetypal patterns and images. What with the enormous interest amongst our young people over the phenomena of Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and comic book heroes like Spiderman, we recognize the urgent yearning to reinstate these archetypal energy patterns back into the world so as to relieve the arid dryness that has been affecting our culture for too long. But we also recognize that these loaded patterns are not playthings to be toyed with. The story is bigger than all of us, and it is breaking through in ways that most have little awareness of. These energies are powerful and potent agencies that underlay the foundations of all creation, and, as such, they need to be treated with respect and intelligence if we are to harness their power for the good of society and not for its detriment. There is so much undirected energy coming out of these themed works that has the potential for being channeled into creative endeavors and avenues if we but establish wise mentors who are familiar with the mythic underpinnings of the virtual, fantasy, science fiction, role playing and gaming cultures that are bubbling forth in our present age. Because of this we hope to call soul-filled midwifes to help assist the birthing process in the hopes of channeling these potent mythic energies in creative, beneficial and sacred ways.
