Every professional and scholarly focus has a "home," an association, a community where new insights are discussed as future explorations are charted. The ultimate creation of such a "home" for the study of mythology is a central goal of the efforts under-
taken in this venture.
The happy ending of the fairy tale, the myth, and the divine comedy of the soul, is to be read, not as a contradiction, but as a transcendence of the universal tragedy of man. — Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces
