Encounter Darkness: The Black Platonism Of David Lindsay, Adelheid Kegler

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Characterizes Lindsay as a “belated symbolist” whose characters are “personifications of ontological values.” Uses Neoplatonic “references to transcendence” but his imagery and technique do not suggest a positive view of transcendence.

Another Opinion Of "The Verse Of J.R.R. Tolkien", Paul Edwin Zimmer

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Response to a paper by Melanie Rawls in Mythlore #71. Disagrees with that paper’s negative attitude toward Tolkien’s poetry, giving detailed technical analysis to support his points.

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

The Bittersweet Vine: Fairy Tales And Nursery Rhymes, Kathleen Hess

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Contrasts more modern versions of fairy tales with less sanitized early versions. Recounts the darker meaning behind some well-known nursery rhymes. Contends that removing the harshness of original versions is a mistake, because denying the “bitter truth” doesn’t build inner strength.

Iorg And The Dancing Sword, Ron Blizzard

The Mythic Circle

The water trickled down his neck as Iorg slogged through the mud. He rubbed his hands together to try to get some feeling in them and then lost his balance, falling face-first into a slimy, sewage-infested pool.

Fiddler Of Sundown Lake, Cal Clawson, Bob Casad

The Mythic Circle

The fading cow-town of Quinlin was quiet but for the faint buzz of insects. Meyers Market and Gas Station was still going, but the rest of the town was abandoned, the local ranchers preferring to drive forty- five miles south to Flagstaff to do their shopping.

Color It Vanity, Peter Dean

The Mythic Circle

"Wizard, are you sure you have the spell I need?" "Are you sure that your money is good, Sir Landsworth?" The quick retort startled the noble and shocked his followers

Images, Jane M. H. Bigelow

The Mythic Circle

He was not silver, but red gold as the sand; he was not large, but wiry as a goat; he was not gentle, but fierce as the rocks behind him.

The Seminar, George Egon Hatvary

The Mythic Circle

Perhaps the idea was on the foolishly sentimental side, but it did not seem so when it was first brought up.

Bridget Skla's Dreamworld Tea, Walter Lide

The Mythic Circle

Just as the sun began setting in a fire colored sky, Bridget Skla stooped over an old wool blanket and collected the herbs she'd been drying since sunrise.

The Mythic Circle

Welcome to The Mythic Circle #14. We hear raves from all quarters about the Tolkein Centennial in Ox- ford; sounds like a splendid time was had by all. Alas, we couldn't go, but we're enjoying the anecdotes!

Ragwort, Ragwort, Ruth G. Mortensen

The Mythic Circle

Into every life, providence scatters a handful of extraordinary hours charged with creating its unique design— the before and after hours that emboss the weave.

"Naughty Or Nice", E. D. Shafer

The Mythic Circle

"Charles Michael Dare put the cat down, and I mean do it now!" Pesker-cat watched the kitty-litter gray carpet rush toward his face. Chuckie Dare shrugged his shoulders. "Gee, Mom, I thought cats were always suppose to land on their feet."

To Kill A Wizard, Karen J. Connell

The Mythic Circle

The tavern's front door swung open. An evening breeze, rank with rotting garbage, swirled in. A large, ragged man stepped over the threshold.
