Campbell died in 87, he studied, taught and wrote about comparative mythology. Og is knowledgeable on this author. I never heard of him until I joined this forum in October. Og put me on to him.
I have only read two of his books, Pathways to Bliss (written posthumously, from lectures and tapes) and The Power of Myth (the narrative from a 6 h interview with Bill Moyers at George Lucas's ranch amongst other places). For me it was worthwhile, in that it showed me much that I still don't know. If you see what I mean.
PM Og see if he can recommend any books etc.
Avoid The Hero with a Thousand Faces .... as the first book, fairly pedagogic...
