The Mythic West

A spiritual old west, but not as you know it. It exists as legend across seven Earths, and where only by catching a Myth will it bring unity.

Origin & Inspiration

I've long held a passion for all things western, and mountain life. OK, so that is a lie. I grew up a nerd in suburban California, less than an hour from San Francisco. I never really paid too much attention to Westerns. I was interested in fantasy and sci-fi. And so it was for nearly 40 years of my life, but a most remarkable turn of events unfolded changing me to the core.

I moved away from the suburbs to live in the mountains, a mile high among the pines, and bears, and snowy winters. It was quiet, darker at night, brighter in the day, and a slower pace to life. I started to appreciate things I had never considered much about...like westerns, like frontier life, like a rugged life of man against nature, be it in the high plains, a barren desert, or forested mountains. A foot in the waters of that river turned into a deep swim and now it is truly my passion. Some of my cherished memories of my father (don’t get the wrong idea, he is still very much alive) are now centered around him sharing his love of Westerns from his youth.

Sadly I had to leave the mountains after many years and am back again in flatland cities, and I ache to return to the mountains as soon as I can.

The Mythic West is my attempt to put all my passion together in one place.
