The Society for New Mythology & Frontier Ontology

The Society for New Mythology & Frontier Ontology exists to encourage the remembering and retelling of the old tales woven in our double helix.

Those familiar whisperings from forgotten dreams.

It invites your assistance in the curation of new myths for post-sense reality.

It encourages the collective exploration of the edges of being-ness.  ​

Because modern dragons have strange new appetites. Trickster machine-elf pipers play europop tunes. Because the emperor’s clothes are now pixelated. And commeth the hour, commeth the cryptid.

Curating New Mythologies

The Society exists to encourage the telling of new tales in ancient places, and old tales in new ways.

We hope to provide scaffolding for new discourse and ancient remembering at the intersection of science, spirit and psycho-nautical discovery.

We’ll create gatherings – round fires, in wild places and digital spaces. We’ll share stories. We’ll curate emergent new myths. We’ll invite your participation…
