Our Mission
The Mytharium is a digital blog with the mission to make folklore more accessible to writers. We are committed to publishing work that is informative and engaging, inspires creativity, and seeks to understand how folklore can enhance modern narratives. We are particularly interested in folklore and mythical creatures from non-Western cultures, are in need of preservation, or have dark undertones.
