Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth | Ep. 5: 'Love and the Goddess'

In this episode, Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers explore the mythology of love, from the erotic to the spiritual, and the role of the feminine as the source of life and form. They discuss the stories of the troubadours, the goddess, the virgin birth, and the grail, and how they reflect the human quest for wholeness and transcendence. Drawing from various traditions and sources, such as the Song of Songs, the Vedas, the Ramakrishna, and William Blake, they reveal how love is the force that connects us to the mystery of our own being and the essence of the divine.
