Note: there are broken links throughout my pages -- that's just the nature of websites and I don't have time to keep updating broken links (there's still much of interest, however, since I often quote lengthy passages).  For broken links of special interest to you, do try the Wayback Machine's archival site at: http://www.archive.org/web/web.php:  just copy and paste a broken URL into their form and usually it'll come up.

My thanks to all for warm wishes and support over these past many years --
if you'd like to see what this home page looked like on 11/13/98, here's that original page.

:  In creating this site, I have spent countless hours with no funding (except for a few ads in years past).  I have given this content for free because I love to share ideas and art.  Now, however, in today's challenging economy, I am asking your help to keep this site going.  If you are moved by what you find here, and can afford to do so, please help Myth*ing Links by making a contribution.  Any amount will be gratefully appreciated.   If you cannot, please still keep coming here and enjoying this site -- it's always an honor to share what I love with you.  Many thanks!

"When one combines a process of inquiry with content of beauty and antiquity, when, even as a lark, one opens the flow of archetypal images contained in the history and legends of people long negated by this culture, many who confront these images are going to take to them and begin a journey unimagined by those who started the process."   (Margot Adler, Drawing Down the Moon)

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair; and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.  (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring)

"Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows." – Martin Luther King, Jr.

 ....12 May 2012, 11:25pm EDT:
Mother's Day was originally started after the Civil War as a  protest to the carnage of that war by women who had lost their sons....  Further comments by Ruth Rosen, Professor of History at UC Davis: "...The women who conceived Mother's Day would be bewildered by the ubiquitous ads that hound us to find that "perfect gift for Mom." They would expect women to be marching in the streets, not eating with their families in restaurants. This is because Mother's Day began as a holiday that commemorated women's public activism, not as a celebration of a mother's devotion to her family."

30 April 2012, 9:50am EDT: I just finished updating this year's Beltane/May Day/Walpurgisnacht/Roodmas page. Like Samhain/Halloween, this is another time of the year when the veils between the realms are thinner, allowing for the passage of new insights, visions, and a renewal of hope. Blessings to all during this ancient, holy, mysterious time.

19 March 2012, 10:05am: My Spring Equinox Greetings & Lore page has now been updated for 2012. In the USA, the equinox arrives tonight at 10:15pm PDT on the West Coast and at 1:15am EDT on the 20th.  Don't miss the page's amazing  "enlightenment curses" from Lauren Raine, which are even more relevant this year than before.  Blessings of the season!

NOTE: To prevent this "New" section from getting too long, I am transferring its additions to an Archival Page. Currently, this covers from May 26, 1999 to 1 February 2012.  For those who like to keep track of more frequent nuts & bolts changes, please see myUpdates Diary[11/4/04: unfortunately, not updated in ages -- ::sigh::].

5 June 2011:  FYI -- this little search engine is actually much more finely-tuned than google, especially if you're looking for something small,  precise, and/or obscure.  Many times, for example, I know I have something on a specific person and yet google comes up with nothing.  When I try this one, it'll easily locate a single name among my hundreds of pages.

WHEEL OF THE YEAR: 

<<< Year-round Links of On-Going Relevance >>>

DAILY:
*Environmental & Humanitarian Causes Page-- click on this Myth*ingLinks' site to access humanitarian and environmental causes.  Then click daily on the causes you desire.  You pay nothing -- sponsors do.
*For a detailed calendar covering ancient pagan feasts as well as Judeo-Christian celebrations, see Waverly Fitzgerald's wonderfully folkloric School of the Seasons, updated around the first of each month.
WEEKLY:
*The mythic dimension of astrology has much to say about current events, some chilling, some hopeful. Don't miss Wolfstar's weekly column (usually updated every Monday or Tuesday) on world events & famous people as seen through astrology's mythic lens (backup sites with some early archives are at: Wandering Star Designs or Star IQ).  [Updated Wolfstar's link: 22 May 2011. Halloran's site still works but sometimes doesn't get updated in a timely fashion.]
MONTHLY:
*The Headline Muse, a handsome, provocative monthly online journal (free) which offers archetypal analysis of headline news, film reviews, current events and cultural trends.  It's published the 6th of each month and includes archives of previous months.
The Remaining links are for "WhenEver":
*I began my Mythic Shopping Page for the 1999-2000 winter holidays but have decided to keep it up year round.
*Asian Lunar New Year.
*Earth Day, which includes environmental issues that are relevant year-round.
*The Kosovo Peace Invocation  -- as important now as ever in that angry, wounded land.

+..Myth*ing Links Bookstore and. Unshelved Annex

Latest Updates:
30 November 2009 and 1 September 2009
Note: a book-symbol on the site-map means a page has its own BOOKS section;
if it's followed by a +, that means its books are also listed in the Bookstore.
Update, 22 December 2010: since the summer of 2009, I have enjoyed sharing these books with my readers
but I also expected to make a decent profit from the many hours I spent  maintaining it.
Unfortunately, although many of you have purchased books from this store,
after some 18 months, I have not made even a single penny from amazon.com.
Therefore, although I will keep the bookstore "as is," I will no longer be adding to it.
I need to invest my time elsewhere.

Recommended Links to Healers, Writers, & Artists
Added 28 July 2006

Since Myth*ing Links is designed for student research, I have added this section containing online libraries, reference help, literary texts, data on world languages, help on writing research papers (both MLA and APA), information on copyright "myths," movie links (especially for those of you searching for film plots, themes, and/or films representing various historical periods), and also sites simply for word-lovers.

.4 June 2011 w/free, educational video game on science:  This page for teachers (or for those who homeschool) contains links to mythology, folklore, and general sites with data and lesson plans for grades K-12.  Lovely images come from African-American and Russian artists.  (On 11/1/99, the Open Directory Project designated this page as a "Cool Site.")

Beginning with the superb "Voice of the Shuttle: Web Page for Humanities Research,"this section looks at very large and comprehensive collections.

This section includes unannotated links to Pacifica faculty, graduates, & student webpages plus sites on Jung, Campbell, Freud, Eliade, Otto, Hillman, other depth psychologists, mysticism, anthropology, religious studies, archetypal perspectives, foundations for mythology & psychology, relevant journals, books, videos, etc.

CRONE PAPERS
A Collection of Essays & Other Writings by Kathleen Jenks, Ph.D.
Note: this is a separate section of Myth*ing Links
with its own separate Table of Contents on its portal-page.

23 June 2002, Sunday, 11 am: after weeks of work in rare moments of free time, I am launching a new section, CRONE PAPERS: A Collection of Essays & Other Writings.  The collection comes from my various page-introductions scattered throughout Myth*ing Links.  There are currently 13 pieces in the collection with more to be added as time permits.  Gathering them in one convenient place will make them more accessible to the many readers who have asked me to do this.

10 May 2005, Tuesday, 2:15am: there is now a new subsection within CRONE PAPERS called Notes on Books & Video Games -- this portal page also has its own Table of Contents.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CORNER

26 July 2007, Thursday, 10:45pm: This is a new section that collects in one place my Factory Farm / Industrial Agriculture pages plus my environmentally-focused pages, all of which were formerly listed in the Common Themes section.  This new section looks at issues relevant to clean air, water, food, and fairness to the creatures who have been here as long, or longer, than we have and who share this environment with us. (Note: if you have bookmarked or linked to earlier Common Themes links that are now in this new section, please note that URLs will not change. I have moved them to this new section but have left older URLs intact.)

9 December 2008: I have added a new Reuters report to my Environmental Corner page. Here is the opening excerpt, which will give you a sense of how significant and forward-looking it is:

Reuters - The worst financial crisis since the 1930s may be a chance to put price tags on nature in a radical economic rethink to protect everything from coral reefs to rainforests, environmental experts say. Farmers know the value of land from the amount of crops they can produce but large parts of the natural world - such as wetlands that purify water, oceans that produce fish or trees that soak up greenhouse gases - are usually viewed as "free." "Most of our valuable assets are not on the books," said Robert Costanza, professor of ecological economics at the University of Vermont. "We need to reinvent economics. The financial crisis is an opportunity...."

 CURRENT EVENTS

Many visitors assume that a mythologist like me focuses only on ancient times, but this is incorrect.  I am also passionate about my own times, especially since so many toxic myths and legends from the past continue to influence (and corrupt) today's decisions.  I hope you'll explore this new Current Events page -- a collection from other sites as well as Myth*ing Links relating to the world we inhabit today.

NOTE: many of the external links are updated daily, others weekly.  In these times of shrinking news coverage by mainstream TV networks, it's all the more crucial that we find ways of remaining informed about the deeper issues.  It helps to know how many others share our deep concerns. In addition to the new Current Events page, below are direct links to 4 of my other pages with clear ties to our contemporary world:

The Three Desert-Born Monotheisms

.ABOUT MYTH*ING LINKS
[Why & What]

AWARDS PAGE

CREDITS PAGE

.....8 September 2004: About dead & broken links,  it's impossible for me to stay caught up -- some die within hours or days of my launching a new page.  If you find a dead link and really yearn to see what was on that page, several of my readers have sent me the following "time machine" link that has archived 30 billion pages dating back to 1996 -- it's easy to use and really works:  http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

NOTE: I strongly support:... I'm tired of sites that have stopped coding for older browsers. Many of us -- senior citizens as well as countless people in the Third World -- whether through choice or economic pressures -- do not have computers with all the whistles & bells.  I object to those who consider us insignificant and who create sites we cannot access [8 April 2002, 4am].

Privacy Policy: as of 11/5/06, this site uses a Google cookie that collects anonymous traffic data.  I will not (and will not allow any third party to) use this service to track or collect personally identifiable information of Internet users, nor will I (or will I allow any third party to) associate any data gathered from my website(s) (or such third parties' website(s) with any personally identifying information from any source as part of my use (or such third parties' use) of the service.

E-mail Stuff:December 2001 -- FYI: my only active e-mail address is below --
any other e-mail links among my over 200 pages are broken.

[Updated 6 May 2003, 6 December 2006, and new email on 19 August 2010]:   If you have comments, suggestions,  or wish to report a broken link, please e-mail me at : jenks7ATfrontierDOTcom, replacing AT and DOT with their appropriate symbols after you copy & paste the address into your e-mail.   (FYI: as of 11 May 2004, I removed my direct e-mail link due to relentless e-mail robot-spamming.) Please note that this is a one-woman operation and my free time is quite rare.
If I do not get back to you, it's due to lack of time, not interest. Please don't ask for homework or research help.  I created this huge website and its Search Engines so that you can find answers for yourself <smile>. You will also find resources on my General Reference page.  If you need further help, please check with your own instructors or librarians.   Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

8 August 2004: If you wish to contact me about including your link on my pages, please know that I am at least 2 years behind and have a huge backlog of ungrokked links.  I am not interested in link exchanges or commercial links but I do try to look at all suggested educational and/or academic ones.  You'll need to be patient, however.  As noted above, this is a one-woman operation.  If I do not get back to you, it's due to lack of time, not interest.
