Meaning is a very powerful thing. The meaning of something is intimately connected with the nature of the thing itself, whether that thing be an actual "thing" or an idea. The meaning of something is central to its appearance, identity, and significance. When you change the meaning of something, you change the truth of it. You change the context. You may change the "rules." Something brand new may come into the world. Changes in meaning = world creation, my friend!I think this is a useful lens to apply to the painful divisions and amazing developments taking place right now. People are consciously attempting to manipulate or change the meanings of things. This is causing a lot of disagreement, discomfort, and excitement.The mythological figure that is most closely associated with these activities is the trickster. In this episode we take a look at Hermes, the Greek trickster god, to see how an expert uses the magic of meaning to recreate the world. Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!
