about

Cast off and crippled, the Greek god Hephaestus is the master craftsman and a patron saint of human culture and creativity. As god of the forge and the creative spark, he made objects of value and beauty despite—or maybe as a result of— his brokenness.

What can we learn about the creative process from ancient myths? Join me for an exploration of this question with special guest mythologist and author, Allison Stieger.

Allison writes, lectures, and coaches people in the use of myth and the creative process. She has a master’s degree in Mythological Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute and is the founder and director of Mythic Stories Education. Allison is currently working on her first book, Mythic Creativity: What Myth can Teach Us about our Creative Lives and is passionately interested in the intersection between myth, creativity, innovation, and culture.
