Understanding your landscape of legend is at the heart of the journey into the Mythica, for it is the unique vibrational emanation of your movement through the Creation herself. It is the essence of how your passage along the rainbow road of your unique energies express itself through the lens of story, the place where the land and the underland meet.
Everyone’s heroic landscape is unique, made from the pantheon of affinities that lay within them and their expression across one’s story. While the principles themselves are constant, their expression changes from person to person in relation to their own path and purpose. In this, everyone’s story is their own, it’s trials and treasures theirs to find and face.
In order to remedy this, I built the Mythica around my own story and the geometries of the characters and places I had met along the way to give an example of the principles in action.

Yet to perceive one’s landscape of legend is challenging, for it requires divination into the patterns which continue to arrive in one’s life with a steady eye, coming to see where we stand on the rainbow road of our becoming both within and without.
This is a thing that is easy to explain but hard to integrate, for it challenges the very idea of perception itself and it’s relationship with the substance of form.
