Lectomythology

Smoke From the Flames of History

A concise study of the world's myths, legends and fables — the stories woven deeply into the fabric of the human psyche and carried across millennia.

Immerse yourself in the sagas and epic narratives that have shaped every culture that's ever been. Lectomythology© helps you understand how these stories formed, why they endure, and what truth they carry beneath their symbolic surface.

Led by expert on world mythology and Celtic folklore, Alun G. Rees

Become a Custodian of the World's Mythic Heritage

Legends, fables and myths are woven into the warp and weft of the human condition. They are the resonance of human endeavor, a tuning fork for coherence, and a living memory of the world's cultures.

Lectomythology© reveals how these epic narratives represent the matrix of human imagination — and how many of them contain kernels of truth, encoded histories, or accurate accounts preserved through oral tradition.

With decades of journalistic experience, Alun brings both scholarly rigor and passionate storytelling to the exploration of humanity's most enduring narratives.

This Course is for Anyone Drawn to the Power of Story

Lectomythology© welcomes learners who feel the pull of ancient narratives — whether through heritage, curiosity, creativity, or professional work. No prior experience is required — only curiosity.

Why These Stories Endure

Myths survive because they are part of us. They explain, warn, inspire, and anchor us across time. Modern science increasingly validates what oral traditions preserved for thousands of years — stories repeated with such precision that they became cultural memory long before written records.

Lectomythology© shows you how to interpret these stories, understand their coded wisdom, and recognize their role in shaping human identity across generations.
