RE: Sanctity. Handcut collages ~25x18cm (each)

Don't dare apologizing! A million thanks for your input. I will add these titles to my behemoth of a to-read list! haha! So much quality material and so little time in our short human existences, right?

The first book "by" Campbell I had the delight of reading was a compendium of talks on myth, dreams and religion named Myths, Dreams and Religion. Found it on my uni's library and absolutely fell in love with it... Now I'm not a big fan of digital formats (maybe a bit silly of me), so I had just read small fragments of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, but my girlfriend, who's visiting from the States, brought me it as a gift, and I'm making it my end of year read... It is all I had expected and more. It so helps me dig deeper into the figures used by religion, understanding more and more with each page of our existence-long quest for the divine, for that which is there but we can't fully perceive, for filling the gaps that exist in what the senses can grasp... It is also magnificent to observe the dynamics binding the stories we tell with what's in our psyche.

Now I'm looking to get my hands on one of those Golden Boughs Campbell so often cites.

Once again, thanks for your kind comment and for the suggestions : )
