I have to say, I am in love with all the different ways myths, fairytales, and folk tales are being approached these days. Catherine is amazing, and very succinctly, yet expansively, dives into her subjects and brings them to us, the listener. Each episode is a gem, and helps me to understand so much about this world we live in, what a gorgeous Podcast!

Apple Podcasts5Also myth makerUnited States9 months ago - A wealth of treasures and insights
I consistently get SO much from Myth Matters. Dr. Svehla is a master storyteller and really knows her stuff.

She doesn’t tell you what’s important - she invites you to discover that for yourself, focusing on myth as archetypes and road maps for our own lives and inner work, as well as the global community. It’s like a tarot reading, a fairytal... more
