Listen "The Mythopoetic Movement, Robert Bly, & Christian Nationalism with Will Spencer"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a text!Join us as we explore the mythopoetic men’s movement, inspired by Robert Bly’s "Iron John," and how it aimed to fill the emotional void left by distant paternal figures. We'll uncover the cultural significance of this movement, which relied on Jungian psychology and pagan spirituality, examining its rise in the context of post-World War II alienation and the 1960s cultural shifts. We'll also talk about its compromises with feminism. In our conversation with Will Spencer, we dissect the evolving landscape of masculinity, especially in the transition from manufacturing to a service-centered economy. We tackle the introspective journey many men embark on and how therapeutic practices can sometimes lead to complacency. Wrapping up, we delve into the importance of brotherhood and authentic male relationships, contrasting mythopoetic values with modern movements like feminism and the red pill ideology. We explore the allure of Eastern mysticism within tech culture, the evolution of Burning Man, and the intersection of Christian nationalism with biblical masculinity.
