Mythopoeia (also mythopoesis, after Hellenistic Greek μυθοποιία, μυθοποίησις "myth-making") is a narrative genre in modern literature and film where a fictional mythology is created by the writer of prose or other fiction. This meaning of the word mythopoeia follows its use by J. R. R. Tolkien in the 1930s. The authors in this genre integrate traditional mythological themes and archetypes into fiction.
Mythopoeia is also the act of making (creating) mythologies. Notable mythopoeic authors include Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, William Blake, H. P. Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, Mervyn Peake and George MacDonald. While many literary works carry mythic themes, only a few approach the dense self-referentiality and purpose of mythopoeia. It is invented mythology that, rather than arising out of centuries of oral tradition, are penned over a short period of time by a single author or small group of collaborators.
As distinguished from fantasy worlds or fictional universes aimed at the evocation of detailed worlds with well-ordered histories, geographies, and laws of nature, mythopoeia aims at imitating and including real-world mythology, specifically created to bring mythology to modern readers, and/or to add credibility and literary depth to fictional worlds in fantasy or science fiction books and movies.
Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. He held academic positions at both Oxford University (Magdalen College), 1925–54, and Cambridge University (Magdalene College), 1954–63. He is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.
Lewis and fellow novelist J. R. R. Tolkien were close friends. They both served on the English faculty at Oxford University, and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. According to Lewis' memoir Surprised by Joy, he was baptised in the Church of Ireland, but fell away from his faith during adolescence. Lewis returned to the Anglican Communion at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman of the Church of England". His faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim.

In my fourth lecture, I go in-depth on how to write your own Mythopoeia, creating your own myths, and using them in your own spiritual development. Using my own fantasy novels as an example, the Phantammeron series, I explain the lessons learned in 25 years of mythological and spiritual study. In essence, writing Mythopoeia is a form of "religious writing"; something inspirational you can use to reconnect with your religion, your Creator, or with Creation itself (as you view such things). As such this concept extends way beyond what writing Mythopoeia is today or how I might define it as a spiritual and literary medium in this lecture. As such, this lecture may have a much wider purpose and goal in moving us all into a new frontier of self-exploration that delivers a much wider and more f...

Mythopoeia
Breath of Doom Compilation (1997, Metal Breath Production)
JRR Tolkien's poetic refutation to C.S. Lewis assertion that myths were lies and therefore worthless, even though 'breathed through silver'.
Melodic death/Doom metal song. From album "The Golden Leaf of Oak" (2001) LYRICS: Crossing of shadow, knowledge of lost ones Spring of gripping is crushing the journey Key of poisons in the stones of curse Claw is twirling peak of action in the future Boiling of symbol will flood inflammation Skin of dragons spat by honeycomb Red worm tangles the lights of tempting Soalr temple in darkness of bones Scattering is swallowing the false sway Rods are flying in the glare of gullet Tongue waves bodies of the cross Lame recoil is flying up to cringe Tiredness of ways is dissolving the prison Abloom heads are fusing kneading of rotteness Horror of hammer is torturing the holiness Starhall is fleeting through the labyrinth
My attempt to start writing my own 'mythopoeia', complete with plenty of introspection and plenty of poetry. As mentioned in the audio, here are (some) of the words that I am reading (the poems, not the commentary, since I made that up as I went along. Obviously. ;) ) Not all, because descriptions are not allowed to be long. Baying 5: Anima Midway upon the journey of my life, I'll fall under the shadow of the Sphinx, Who captures my whole self within her gaze, And holds me in what others call bleak eyes, A glance that lashes o'er a tarot spread. A falcon will grace her shoulder gauntlet, Behind the baying of her hounds will rise She looses these on fools who stumble in To a private moment's grotto unprepared. And first I hear the terror of her living laugh, Until she says: "Once I sat cr...

Apologies this video is a bit rambly. Do you ever find you have so much to say, you just forget everything you want to say?

Mythopoeia
This video shows you how to pronounce Mythopoeia in English.
This is my journey to the stars
On a hill I stand
In the gate to the sky,
To the golden Sun, to the silver Moon.
On angelic wings with time I fly.
On a hill I stand,
this is my journey to the stars.
Among the stars I fly.
Constellation of the deads is red.
I dream in the space of cosmic nymphs.
On a hill I stand,
This is my mystic journey to the stars.
