    Once upon a time, I gifted $10+/month patrons subscriptions to my Substack on Tolkien's letters, but that process became overly tedious. However, I am now bringing it back - in a way. I am starting to record my reading of these articles and posting them to the Patreon podcast feed. The first episode is now available to everyone, but, moving forward, this series will be exclusive to $10+/month patrons.In addition to this series, patronage will provide you with ad-free episodes of the Mythic Mind Legacy and Fellowship podcasts delivered into a single feed.Mythic Mind Patreon: patreon.com/mythicmindSubstack: https://andrewnsnyder.substack.com/

    For the first recorded Fellowship chat, Elisabeth Dawson and I talked about philosophy, Boethius, the arts, and more. We did not have a clear agenda for this conversation, but I believe it moved in some very worthwhile directions. Most future Fellowship chats will be on the Mythic Mind Fellowship podcast, so be sure to subscribe to that one as well!Join the Mythic Mind Fellowship at patreon.com/mythicmindBrowse my independent course offerings at https://andrewsnyder.podia.com/
