Bonus: The Descent of Innana with Carly Mountain

A conversation on Gilgamesh and Enkidu and the role of the mythic masculine in mythology.

I’m happy to share this bonus episode I’m releasing that’s just for paid subscribers of The Mythic Masculine. It’s a conversation that I was invited to by UK-based writer and psychotherapist Carly Mountain. 

Her new book Descent & Rising: Women’s Stories & the Embodiment of the Inanna Myth explores women’s real experiences of initiation through the underworld & familiarizes us with the process of female psycho-spiritual growth. 

Alongside the book, she’s produced a podcast series and asked to speak with me about the presence of the masculine in mythology - in particular, we explore the tale of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, as well as men’s work beyond heroic tropes. Carly also asks me to share more about my own journey and the role of film in shaping culture and consciousness, plus much more.

I’ve included the exclusive interview here in gratitude for your support.
