Myths, Monsters & Love From The South of Chile

Myths, Monsters & Love From The South of Chile

This book is dedicated to young and old alike. It is a centuries-old myth that has been passed down from generation to generation on the island of ChiloÃ©. This island is located in the extreme southern sector of Chile, far from the urban center of the country.

This fact partly explains the fertile ground available for the mythâ€™s survival to the present day. More importantly, its context is a superstitious world that sought to explain the mysteries of the natural world through the medium of dreams and myths. In fact, according to Joseph Campbell, â€œMyths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.â€

â€œPeople say that what weâ€™re all seeking is a meaning for life. I donâ€™t think thatâ€™s what weâ€™re really seeking. I think that what weâ€™re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.â€ ~ Joseph Campbell, â€œThe Power of Mythâ€.
