Have you ever felt that there’s more to life than what we see on the surface? That your life is a story waiting to be told, a myth waiting to be lived? In this deeply insightful episode of Supernormalized, CeeJay Barnaby sits down with Peter Fae, a modern-day myth maker who has spent over two decades documenting how our inner worlds shape the outer realities we all navigate. This conversation is a masterclass in mythic living, personal myth, and understanding the power of storytelling and consciousness to transform your life. Peter shares his incredible journey, revealing how every person, place, and challenge connects to a greater design, inviting transformation through synchronicities and archetypes.
Peter’s approach isn’t just theoretical; it’s a living experiment. He blends mythic storytelling, photography, and what he calls “mythic journalism” to uncover the “physics of the quest”—the underlying principles of living a mythical life that anyone can tap into. We explore his early connection with the elemental forces of nature, his time in a circus called Myth Maker, and the profound influence of authors like Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore on his path. Peter explains that the magical world isn’t separate from our own; it’s the ordinary world seen with depth, a core concept that resonates perfectly with the Supernormalized ethos.
This episode is for anyone who feels the call to a more enriching, powerful, and beautiful life story. Peter provides a powerful reminder that we are all living a myth, whether we are conscious of it or not. By consciously engaging with our personal story, we can navigate challenges, find our allies, and co-create a reality that is both magical and deeply real. Join us for a journey into the heart of your own story and discover the power you hold to shape it.

CeeJay Barnaby (00:31)
Today on Super Normalised, we have Peter Fay. He spent over two decades living a life that reads like myth, documenting how inner worlds shape the outer realities that we all move through. His journey is not just a story, but a living experiment, revealing how every place, person, and challenge connects with the greater design. Through his unique approach of blending mythic storytelling, photography, and what he calls mythic journalism,
Peter shows us how life becomes a sacred stage where synchronicities and archetypes invite transformation. This is a super deep episode and I really encourage everyone to listen all the way to the end because there’s so many nuggets of goodness when it comes to understanding the power of living myth as a part of your life and how you’re actually already doing it without being conscious of it. But when you take control of it consciously,
not really control, like inviting it in. It can make life more enriching and more powerful and a beautiful story. So I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one on with the show.
to super normalized, Peter Fay. Peter, you’re a myth maker and you guide people towards their own experience of their own myths for their self-empowerment and facing life’s challenges.
I’m looking forward to hearing your story about this today. So welcome to the show.
Peter Fae (02:11)
Thank you so much. I’m happy to be here.
CeeJay Barnaby (02:13)
Yeah. Look, Peter, ⁓ we’ve already started having a juicy conversation just about your website. So I’m looking forward to really getting right into this. You spent over two decades living a life that reads like myth. ⁓ I can relate to that myself. I’ve I’ve had experiences like drew my set return. I had an experience that was so intense that I actually had sat and manifest as a human and take me for a walk now. And by looking back on it now, I know that was just
mind-blowing that that even happened. But these things happen when you actually accept myth as a part of your life. Everything becomes the story. So what first sparked your decision to live life as a myth rather than just a story?
Peter Fae (02:58)
So that’s the question itself. It’s just like, so there’s a precursor and then there was like a significant moment. So when I was a kid I was naturally resonant with the language of the Deva, of the elemental spirits of the land, more than I was with people.
So I well while this would eventually grow into the realization that people themselves are made of the Deva and this this would grow into an entire look into the psychology and Phenomenology of like what does it mean to be human? Like what does it mean to be a? You know a myth maker a myth liver You know and I’m gonna do a shout out because I actually was in a in a circus called myth maker
led by a Viking avatar ally of mine named Herodoshi, who lives his own mythic life. And it’s interesting that you use that term because, you know, the nature of myth and story really lay at the core of all of our experiences. So when I was a kid and I was having these experiences with the Deva and the elemental forces, I was particularly connected to the rain, to the storms, and to the lightning.
and stuff like that. this was, you know, I was always interested in Greek mythology, Norse mythology, other things like that, the stories of Avalon, ⁓ anything that related to this other layer of life, this mythopoetic layer of life. And it always felt very true to me, like more true than what I saw in the media and in the films and what people were often talking about.
Like it didn’t feel like that. It felt like a lot of people were talking about was on the surface. But that the myths were actually… You know, I feel the term myth is a misnomer. know, lot of people in some cultures, I don’t remember the exact one, but myth is considered history. As compared to like a fiction. And my work has shown me that myth is actually more foundationally true.
CeeJay Barnaby (05:07)
Yes.
Peter Fae (05:16)
than what people, like if you’re coming from the shallows, you’re like, it’s a myth. It’s like it’s not real. But if you’re coming from the depth, you’re like that, it’s real, the realest of real. And when I, so just, I want to, the progression was that, starting out with this connection with the nature spirits, I then had an experience when I was around 13 years old. And…
I was traveling, I was walking through New York City, the Upper West Side, and I had a lightning bolt. Now I’ve always had resonance with the rain spirits, with the lightning elemental essences, right? You know, and now in a depth, know, eventually I would come to realize that these elemental stories, or now you got your Zeus, your Marduk, your Thor, your Indra.
These are all storm gods. They’re all the energy of lightning. They’re all the energy of the storms. They have a cultural overlay. But underneath that, in the more primal places, they are the lightning. And this would eventually lead me to the realization that we were made of the elements and that if I may be so bold, we are the gods.
We are the goddesses in the current capacity. We’re made of the same elements. And so when we project those things outwards into these these egregores or these like, you know, larger things and put these cultural overlays over them in a more distilled first-person experience like I was having. They’re just the elements. So, yes, sir.
CeeJay Barnaby (06:57)
Mm-hmm.
Yeah,
that totally resonates with me. I really get that.
Peter Fae (07:06)
Right? And so, India man. You know? And so, the… When I was 13 years old and I was walking through New York City, I had a lightning bolt come down and it struck the ground right near me. Right? Now I’d always had like a communion with the rain and the lightning. It’s hard to explain in words, just a sense of resonance.
CeeJay Barnaby (07:27)
Mm.
Peter Fae (07:31)
Time seemed to stop, or slow down a lot, and the raindrops, I saw the raindrops falling, like really, really, really, really slowly, almost not moving at all. And when I looked through each of the raindrops individually, in this super-liminal space, I saw that each person’s face was slightly distorted. And I realized that, oh, this is the nature of perspective itself.
that we look through the water of our eyes and the water of our eyes bends the way we see things.
And that bend was actually, because I saw it as the raindrops, was a byproduct of the wind and the rain and the electricity and the gravity and the da da da da da da da da. And this all kind of downloaded for me. that was a major, major, major moment where I felt I actually saw the Indricnet. Right? Which is the, you know, for your listeners that don’t know, is the, it’s the, I don’t know if it’s actually, it’s…
It’s an Eastern religion. has to do with Indra, the god Indra, who is the god, is the king of the gods. And the Indric net is considered to be an infinite net of pearls, where each pearl reflects all the other pearls around it. And it’s the basis for the understanding that there is no separation, and that we are all connected to each other, and that we’re all essentially reflecting points of view, raindrops in exchange.
CeeJay Barnaby (09:05)
Yeah.
Peter Fae (09:08)
After that happened, I was, you know, soon after that happened, I’m not exactly when exactly, but it happened in my story as like, kind of a point in time, I was in another storm, a kind of a hurricane storm on Long Island, because it’s like my place of power, and I had an experience of connection, this is like you with Saturn, right? I had an experience of connection with the Muses, Calliope, Uturbe, and Terpsichore.
story, song, and dance. And I drew those energies into myself. You know, with the absolute, unfiltered, you know, 13, 14 years old, you know, playing Dungeons and Dragons, but I’m feeling it, you know, and I’m just like, all right, man, this is the thing. And I felt the real thing. Not in a, you know, and as I came to discover over time, you know, just to put that in context.
CeeJay Barnaby (09:42)
Hmm.
Peter Fae (10:05)
The role-playing games that we play, whether it’s Dungeons and Dragons, or Skyrim, or Baldur’s Gate, or any of those things, any of those genres, not just like Sword and Sorcery, anything, right? They are a construct of our own divination into the mythopoetic aspect of ourselves. Like, over time I realized this because I lived it. And so, when I had the experience with the Three Muses, I drew their energy into me.
and it became a grounding cable for my awareness. Because as I would come to discover, my awareness was very untethered in time and space. I would move from one state of being to another uncontrollably. Meaning one moment I would be in like a very radiant, very aware, highly telepathic, highly like Akashic.
Geometric understanding and the next moment I would be drowning With the same onslaught of sensations the next moment I would be in like extreme anger or extreme frustration I’d be back in it or I’d be in any number of an infinitude of other shapes and when I
CeeJay Barnaby (11:16)
Mmm.
Peter Fae (11:28)
I had the experience with the muses, who I recognized to be made of the deva. So the storm devas and stuff like that. I’m having a childhood of reading De Laurentiis’ Greek mythology. I’m super into that, into this and the thing. And I’m having this overwhelm of Akashic awareness. I’m now encountering the muses as I’m 13 years old, just as a chronology in answer to your question of how did I get on the path.
Right? So I’m coming back to, I’m now having an experience with these three muses, and I was aware that the Greek overlay, Calliope, Uturpe, Terpsichore, you know, the daughters of Nemecene, right? You know, related to Apollo, the muses of art, were themselves a cultural overlay on something deeper. And that I was connecting with that deeper thing. And…
CeeJay Barnaby (12:25)
Mm, brah.
Peter Fae (12:27)
as I did in this parallel, the Saturn thing, but it wasn’t like a manifest person. I actually met the avatar of the goddess Delirium from the Sandman series in real life.
CeeJay Barnaby (12:41)
That can happen. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
Peter Fae (12:42)
Yeah, totally.
But then I also realized, my God, I’m in her realm. I’m in her realm. know, but this was, but this was the whole thing because this was part of the mythopoiesis that I designed into the mythical to track using my photos. First with my camera camera. I had like a Canon 5D like awesome camera. then eventually with my iPhone.
CeeJay Barnaby (12:48)
Yeah, this is good but. ⁓
Peter Fae (13:12)
I was tracking the occurrences of characters on my story to reverse engineer or understand how my story, why my story was unfolding in a mythopoetic way.
CeeJay Barnaby (13:26)
Yes.
Peter Fae (13:27)
in order to share that with others in a way that could define what I searched for as the physics of the quest. Like, what is it like? I’m living a mythical life, right? Why, how can I give that to somebody else? That’s a very personalized experience.
CeeJay Barnaby (13:35)
Mm. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Look, I’ve to say that, ⁓ that sort of experience that you’ve had and the way that you’ve mapped it is really powerful. And then if you, to look towards, ⁓ modern popular cultural, ⁓ media for an example of that, I’d say, if you’ve seen the series American gods,
Peter Fae (14:02)
I live the series American Gods. I’m like a God of story. ⁓ I tell people that all the time.
CeeJay Barnaby (14:04)
Yeah, right. So you know, right? That’s, that’s, that’s exactly it. Right. ⁓
Yeah, that is exactly on point for what is this. If anyone is listening and they’re like, I don’t understand this, I don’t really get it, watch the series American Gods. There’s three, first two are the best. ⁓ But it really does outline this sort of experience of being a character in a story, but also the importance of being that character in the story and how that you are in that God point when you’re living it.
Peter Fae (14:27)
the
Exactly, that is that’s the thing itself. So when I mentioned Heron, right? Heron is he’s another American God and the entourage the pantheon of characters that I’ve met on my story Dakota Chanel Cassandra Banks and Misty Odom like all of these people They the regular people like you and I but they are in a certain realization
of that aspect. And this is really important because it’s just like, you know, there is no separation. It’s not like some of us are like demigods and others of us aren’t. Do you understand what I’m saying? It’s, it’s all, goes back to the understanding that you are the myth. You know, and in, in the depth of my movement, it’s like the American gods book as also by Steve, by Neil Gaiman, right? So American gods and Sandman series of delirium.
CeeJay Barnaby (15:20)
Yes.
Peter Fae (15:33)
We’re both by Neil Gaiman and I’m a huge fan of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, you know, in that genre.
CeeJay Barnaby (15:40)
Yeah,
basically magical shamans that write books.
Peter Fae (15:45)
basically magic books, right? And I was
inspired by their work that this was actually at the core of Into the Mythica was like when I was thinking about what are my major inspirations? And I was like, okay, Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth.
CeeJay Barnaby (15:54)
Mm.
Peter Fae (16:04)
Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, of course, and Alan Moore’s Promethean.
CeeJay Barnaby (16:07)
Exactly.
Peter Fae (16:14)
Right? in Alan Moore’s Promethean, that’s the one most people don’t know. Alan Moore’s Promethea is, he’s a Hermetic Magician. And he was, he taught Hermetic Mysticism through the comic book form that he’s an adept at, right? In a series called Promethea. So you’re, he has this character named Sophie Bangs who is like going through the process of embodying the demigoddess Promethea through her art.
And now she’s going into the Kabbalistic spheres of the Sephiroth, right? Shown in mythopoetic form. And I was like, that’s the thing. I’m gonna tell my story through my, his thing was he called it the immateria. Through my version of that mythopoetic landscape, the mythica. Understand it, but the mythica’s real. So the way that I paired it up was that, going back to your first question, just to close that out.
I set out on the quest in 2000. I set out on the quest to live the real magical story. I had been a writer, I had been, you know, always into like the energy arts and stuff like that. had fabulous capacity to heal, like a lot of natural mystical abilities like that. And my devotion to story-song and dance, right? I decided that instead of playing those games like
playing a paladin or a bard in Dungeons and Dragons, I was like, I’m gonna live that. Like that just takes devotion, you know? And I’ve had a real life experience with the Muses. So and I’m dealing with a real life magical challenge. I’m drifting from one reality to another all the time in my mind. you know, I’m like, ⁓ right? And so in 2002, I decided I’m gonna go on the quest. I’m not gonna play those games anymore.
CeeJay Barnaby (17:44)
Yeah.
That’s cool. Yeah.
Peter Fae (18:08)
I’m gonna leave this alone, I’m gonna live it. I’m gonna live my myth. I’m gonna go out on the hero’s journey. And that was where I started the chronology of Into the Mythica. I started using my photos to document based on the idea that, and this is what I was very into, was the hermetic idea that all is mind and that as above, so below. As within, so without.
Is based on it’s at the idea that your karmic conditions like whatever is going on in your life your personality your current incarnation all of these things is creating your outer circumstance so as within so without and that What’s going on in the patterns above? This is my perspective and what’s going on in the patterns below in the subconscious and the superconscious are manifesting as your life
And that the singularity point of that is where you’re at in space, Akashic space. Not just outer space, and I don’t mean the atmosphere of the planet. I mean outer space like you’re in your room. I’m in my room, my piano’s behind me. Like that’s outside space. Inside space, I’m having an experience. You’re having an experience. And I wanted to map out where those territories met.
CeeJay Barnaby (19:25)
Mm.
Peter Fae (19:33)
because I wanted to get to a more magical world. And I was like, how much of that is internal, how much of that is external?
CeeJay Barnaby (19:39)
I’d like to make a point that that magical world exists whether you believe it or not.
Peter Fae (19:43)
Of course it does.
CeeJay Barnaby (19:45)
Right? And you’re always living it and you’re always casting future spells, which you live, whether you believe it or not, it just happens. Yeah, it’s physics, but the reason that we have these people controlling our reality right now with narrative and story is because they know that, right? And they know that if they control your narrative and story, they can make you walk down a certain path, but you can take control of that path too.
Peter Fae (19:55)
Yes, physics.
yeah, no, totally. I mean, but this is the crux of it. It’s like, ⁓ it’s the thing itself. You know, cause it’s like, yeah, I mean, how do I put this? Cause this is really at the core of… This is at the core of the idea of willful, conscious self-development. It’s… co-creation, Yes.
CeeJay Barnaby (20:33)
Yeah, you mean co-creation,
Peter Fae (20:39)
Yes, but then co-creation would be a subtler nuance of the idea of I create my reality into I’m in a relationship with the larger controlling force, which then becomes about who is the doer. Like, I went all the way with this, Like, over 20 years of documentation, it became a deep investigation into… Like, when we say the law of magical world exists,
CeeJay Barnaby (20:53)
Mm-hmm.
Peter Fae (21:10)
The magical world is the ordinary world seen at depth.
It’s not super natural. It’s only people’s position in space.
CeeJay Barnaby (21:28)
That’s the exact point of my podcast.
Peter Fae (21:30)
Totally. ⁓ Super normal. You know? And it is. Because it’s just like,
it’s like, and that’s what I was talking about with the Mythica, you know what I’m saying? If you go on the About page in the Mythica, you get like a little slider where I’m showing like a graphic. It’s an overview of like a forest. And then you blend with the slider and you can see this energetic landscape. And what I’m saying is, is that the condition of your chakras, the rainbow of your chakras, energetically, electromagnetically,
CeeJay Barnaby (21:39)
Mm.
Mm.
Mmm.
Peter Fae (22:00)
ordinary, seen at depth, creates your inner landscape, which then defines how you see your outer landscape and has a causal, has a relationship of a… So for example, when I… Okay, so going back to it, right?
When I met Harunoshi, who is the leader of the Mythmaker Circus, and he is a full on Viking avatar, he lives it. He lives right by the Valhalla Mountains in Canada. He travels around with his wolf, he runs a band, a circus, and I’ve always seen him as carrying people from one realm to another.
you know on this like green school bus that he affixed a couple of stag’s horns to for like a circus of you know that kind of performance. yeah man he’s all in. I’ve always loved that about him. know he’s all in. And that you’ve got to be all in. To be why? Because the controlling narrative.
CeeJay Barnaby (22:52)
love it.
Yeah.
Peter Fae (23:06)
It is. It’s like a spell that’s used to manipulate you in service to commerce. But it’s not enlightened commerce. It’s an exploitive commerce. ⁓
CeeJay Barnaby (23:11)
It is a spill. Yeah.
Yeah. No. Yes.
Peter Fae (23:31)
Our lives are made of stories.
The stories that repeat in our mind and then as we get into the depths of healing those stories are born from repetitive unprocessed traumas inside the body and the layers of consciousness. So you’re being influenced by these patterns inside the body which are karmic that come from traumas, right, or experiences just in general, right. It isn’t just traumatic experiences, experiences that we’re addicted to or entangled with like I loved this moment in time I’m gonna keep revisiting it.
You know, as compared to, I don’t like that moment, but I’m going to keep revisiting it. They’re both just, they’re, they’re bound to them. They appear in the mind. They come from here. They appear in the mind and then they affect our viewpoint. They affect all these things at the same time. People are constantly trying to influence us with their desires. So now they are.
in every way possible, whether it’s the happy music when you’re shopping, or it’s like, have you ever noticed that like, email is, there’s no personal email. Every, every email is some fuck trying to sell me something.
CeeJay Barnaby (24:48)
Exactly.
Peter Fae (24:50)
I hate… Have you heard about this? You know what I’m saying? I don’t want you to miss out! know? Opportunity! What?
CeeJay Barnaby (24:54)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks.
Yeah, time is running out. ⁓
Peter Fae (25:01)
Time is running out. must act now, otherwise you’ve lost it forever.
At least until we bring it back again in a couple months knowing that you’re so distracted that you won’t realize that. ⁓
CeeJay Barnaby (25:13)
Yeah,
that’s right. Yeah, yeah. Keep those anxiety levels raised.
Peter Fae (25:17)
my god! It’s all about the cortisol. it’s… But, and so, alright, so just to put this in context. when I was living in Lake Tahoe, I lived in Lake Tahoe and I studied magic in Lake Tahoe with a, a, a, a, an oracle by the name of Le Fay. And when I was in Lake Tahoe, I had the sense that I was living in the vibrational undercurrents of…
the Celtic, the Greco-Roman, and the Norse mythologies. mean Lake Tahoe, because I realize you’re on the other side of the planet, right, ⁓ is a beautiful place in California that is a ring of mountains that hosted the Olympics, Ski Olympics, just to give you an example, that is around a beautiful, beautiful, mostly pristine lake that you could actually see into the depths of because it was so clean when it started. It’s gotten a little polluted now, but like, you know, super clean, and you’re surrounded by a ring of mountains.
by the high Sierra Mountains and you get huge amounts of snow. There’s bears, it’s a small town, huge tourist trade because you know, it’s the Olympics and big money, but the locals, right, it’s great place. And around the western side of Lake Tahoe is a place called Emerald Bay. And Emerald Bay has the only ⁓ small island. The Lake Tahoe is very large and then you’ve got the small island, it’s the only one there.
in the bay and on top of it is like a tea house made of like stones. Now, when I was traveling on the western shore of Lake Tahoe, I was there with my wolf, so when I was studying magic at the academy I actually did a spell that summoned me like a dire wolf, right? A very large wolf named North who was my companion for ten years.
where I have this whole sense of being in the Viking energies. So then I go down to the lake shore, this is by Emerald Bay, and I suddenly discover there’s a Viking, like it looks like a dragon, like on a, I shot a picture of it of course, because I’m a diligent mythic journalist, right? You know? And so it turns out that, woman, forget her name was, but they had a house built or imported a house.
CeeJay Barnaby (27:32)
Yeah.
Peter Fae (27:41)
in the Viking style right there on the edge of the water with the full on house. And I think the tea house was associated with them. And I’m like right, American gods.
the energies in the stones, the energies that were there, and the people brought them there, and that energy was present, and so Tahoe has that quality.
Isn’t that cool? And at a similar moment during that moment on the quest, right across, so the lake is here. And here’s the, it’s a 50, 50 goes like up north and south on the west side of Lake Tahoe. The lake’s on this side for me, right? If I’m coming from the north of Lake Tahoe. And if you go down, here’s where that Viking house was. But if you go this way, there’s a set of stone steps.
that go all the way up into the mountains. And I went there with this woman, Yvonne, Yvonne Eisenberg, who I studied the magic with, and I was just like, my God, I’m climbing the steps. And I had the Norse energy again in the land. So then when I’m there with my wolf, I look out over the lake and I have a full on vision of the celestial nature of things. Like that was like a PowerPoint, Emerald Bay.
for me. The stone steps to the heights. was like looking in Odin’s chair, right? And like coming down with the Viking house right there. I’m there with my wolf and I’m just like, nothing’s changed. I’m in the snow, I’m with my wolf, I’m having experiences. And it’s physical. It’s not just I’m having a dream. Like this is real life. Yeah. You know, and so it… You, you, you, you.
CeeJay Barnaby (29:18)
Hahaha!
No, no, you’re living it. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people
would sit back and go, no, he’s just tripping. But no, no, he’s not. I’ve experienced this, that when you’re living in that state, it’s reality. It’s not, I’m experiencing this and I’m just making it up. I’m experiencing this as a reality.
Peter Fae (29:49)
Totally. mean, it really comes down to one stance, for example. I’m too much of a Viking to be like, oh, it is real. I just want you to see this. I’m no, dude, you guys are wrong. Your perspective is wrong. You don’t see it because you’re not living to the depths of yourself. And so for me, my thing would be to turn it around and be very assertive about that because I’ve lived it.
CeeJay Barnaby (30:11)
Yes.
Peter Fae (30:18)
documented it with like years on the quest. You know, like I mean just to show you something, right? So at one point I wanted to, I met this group of, you know, people who were like really reminded me of the elvish signature and they’re living at the base of Mount Elphinstone also in Canada and I had one of them make this for me.
CeeJay Barnaby (30:25)
Yeah, sure.
That’s wild. Whoa. It’s like light leather armor.
Peter Fae (30:50)
it’s totally like light leather armor, like made of like sacred stones.
CeeJay Barnaby (30:55)
Far out, that’s totally cool. Yeah.
Peter Fae (30:57)
Isn’t that great? Made of sacred
stones that were shaped for me by a crafter named Chris, who was living at the base of Mount Elphinstone.
CeeJay Barnaby (31:10)
Far out. Well, obviously the dude’s an elf, you know. Obviously.
Peter Fae (31:11)
And it was one of the… Right, obviously. He’s just
like that, you know? And this same guy ended up making a sacred architech, he’s a temple builder. And he was making sacred architecture for the Shambhala festival in Canada. And I’m having this whole experience of like, wow, we are living myth.
But in order to encounter that myth, you have to encounter it going back to this, as above so below, as within so without. You have to encounter it at the moment in time and space, at the dimension of time and space when that is happening. You have to meet those other people, otherwise it won’t happen.
CeeJay Barnaby (31:46)
Yes.
Yeah. Look, I’ve got to say, you’ve got the name Peter Fay. Is that your birth name?
Peter Fae (32:04)
You know, my rebirth name.
CeeJay Barnaby (32:06)
Rebirth name, that’s totally fine too. And I noticed you’ve got the red hair as well. I’m gonna say too then, like, you know, you’ve got to have some heritage back from the muses and the storytellers to have that hair. ⁓
Peter Fae (32:09)
Yeah.
⁓ that’s my birthday.
I know. Yeah, that’s totally the thing.
I actually traveled to Scotland with a couple of the lads, a couple of other bars with this bar Noah McLean and another bar named Patience Yandereling who I had met in the realms of fairy as they intersected with Oregon. So what had happened was, was in 2009, right, I had left Lake Tahoe and I traveled the thing and I was traveling around and I had no way. I’m sorry.
CeeJay Barnaby (32:30)
Yeah. Yeah.
Peter Fae (32:55)
It was 2007 when I traveled again with the myth maker, Heron’s Circus. And Heron’s, I was led from Lake Tahoe to where I got the cloak, the coat, Mount Elphinstone. Then I traveled east to Winlaw to encounter, I’m sorry, I’m mucking it up a bit, sorry. In 2006, I went to a festival called Earth Dance.
in Northern California. At Earth Dance, because I was a professional fire spinner, right? I was playing with two swords.
not sharp, right? Just a little strip of a wick to put fire in, And I had met another person wielding two swords, and we kind of played, danced a little with each other. That was Harunoshi. Harun invites me to, like, a little area away from the main festival where a number of buses had come together in, a caravan.
And there was like this whole like inner market of like, you know, festival, like people like selling their wares. And it was the Mythmaker Circus was there. And I got invited into this whole circus thing by Heron, who was in the process. Like he would find other magical avatars and invite them to be a part of the circus. So then I happened to have like, had the lion mask because the lion tone was really strong. Okay. So I a lion mask made for me by this guy, who I
CJ, you’re really holding the vibe! I’m so inspired to talk about stuff with you! Great!
CeeJay Barnaby (34:34)
I’m glad. No, that’s totally cool too. Wild. Wow. Okay. For the people listening, he’s showing us his line mask that, wow, that’s totally powerful. Yeah, yeah, cool.
Peter Fae (34:40)
Isn’t that great?
This is my truth. ⁓
super powerful. You know, and I like, I was going on a whole thing because I was realizing my own totemic energy as a lion, you know, and also the rabbit, which was interesting. You so you’re consuming yourself, but the, so I had the mask with me and then I met Heron and I was like, I’ve got this mask and this thing. And he invited me to be a part of their show, 2006.
CeeJay Barnaby (34:58)
Yeah.
Peter Fae (35:15)
In 2007, I traveled and I left the mountains of Tahoe and I went to Elphinstone because that was the most magical community that I’d seen thus far. Small bunch of people, know, just of that tribal energy. And from there, I traveled to Winlaw, right near the Valhalla Mountains, where I joined Heron’s Mythmaker Circus. In the Mythmaker Circus, we then traveled and went to Vancouver and then we came down to Oregon.
So from Canada to the United States. We came down to Oregon, and then Oregon, being with the Myth-Maker Circus, led me to something I didn’t even know existed, which was an event called Fairy Worlds.
CeeJay Barnaby (35:57)
What?
That’s cool. ⁓
Peter Fae (36:05)
So I’m like proof of concept.
CeeJay Barnaby (36:08)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you say then,
like looking at this, that for a lot of the, I don’t want to call people normies because it’s almost like derogative, but people that are muddled up in sort of normal reality, their experience of this that can touch on it, that can also bring them into it is something like Burning Man.
Peter Fae (36:32)
Yeah, totally. I call Burning Man the city of dreams. Burning Man is actually… Burning Man is the most unveiled example of the nature of divination and manifestation that I have encountered in the mortal plane. You’re wandering through the Playa and you’re having an inner experience going through an outer landscape. But somehow…
CeeJay Barnaby (36:36)
Mmm.
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Peter Fae (37:03)
you’re arriving in moments with other characters embodied in some pantheonic way in whatever state of mind they’re in there’s like a larger geometry there and you’re some kind of an art installation that you’ve encountered in the swirling dust storms of the desert right where you can’t see it then suddenly you can you know that all of a sudden you’re by this art installation or something you’re surrounded by this cast of characters and it is like completely reflective
CeeJay Barnaby (37:12)
Yes.
Yeah.
Peter Fae (37:32)
of where you’re at in your journey, physically, like you’re going through a dream landscape.
CeeJay Barnaby (37:35)
Yeah.
Oh, look, I went to Burning Man back in 2004 and I’m on the dance floor with my friend. We’re having a really good time listening to a DJ I knew from San Francisco that ended up and we were just thinking, I’ll just go back home. You know, we’ll go back to our camp. We’re cutting straight across the player, windstorm, can’t see anything. And it’s just hilarious to us. We’re having a good laugh to ourselves. And I get hungry and I say to him, I really want vegetable tempura right now. I just…
Peter Fae (37:48)
That’s what’s up.
CeeJay Barnaby (38:08)
have this feeling for it. I don’t know why, but I want it now.” And he said, yeah, I don’t know why you’re saying that, but I can feel that too. We ride another three kilometres and out of the dust appears a little caravan that’s actually got a man there. The caravan looks like a Japanese traditional stand. He’s dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. We go up and he’s cooking and I say, what are you cooking? says, vegetable tempura. Do you want one? I was like, no.
Peter Fae (38:29)
Of course.
CeeJay Barnaby (38:37)
It happens like that, right?
Peter Fae (38:39)
Right, and that’s the thing.
And my whole thing was just, and I’ve gone to Burning Man nine times, right? I haven’t gone recently, because when I got back from the quest, I was in another aspect of the myth. When I got back from the quest, just to bounce around a little bit, in 2022, I had nothing. I had been living in what I call Carnia, the magical parking lot of Narnia when you live in your car.
CeeJay Barnaby (38:45)
Yeah.
Love it.
Peter Fae (39:11)
And so it was like a it was a 30 year old Subaru, right and when I got back, know I was just I was Exhausted, you know, I’d like I’d given all to the quest and it was like the key it was like I started out as a young man and then I you know, became a knight and then I became like, you know a king essentially like I gained the the king Emperor position in the Tarot and then when I came back I was You know like and I had to take a couple of years that was 2022
to recover and build the Mythica website, co-allating the 20 years of my observations, and so on and so forth. But bringing this back to Fairy Worlds with the Mythmaker, right? And so I’m there, and in 2006, when I had first encountered Heron with the two swords at the Earth Dance Festival, now this was a year later, and I’ve arrived at this place called Fairy Worlds, and I’m like, my god, because the tradition…
CeeJay Barnaby (39:46)
Mmm.
Peter Fae (40:09)
that I had studied was a mixture of ⁓ Lakota and fairy traditions. And I was always very identified as a paladin of fairy. I was having encounters with the nature spirits. was a devotee of like, in that thing and realizing I was living being like a real life Dungeons and Dragons type paladin of bards. know, distinctions aren’t real in real life aren’t really like there’s a role play game. I’ve got a little…
Paladin I’ve got some Bart. I’ve got some magic user, you know, it’s like that but but and everyone’s like that but for me I was very much devoted very like devoted like a lot of the Challenges that I’ve had on the quest have been from like extreme Discontent and question into God’s goodness Here in the Kali Yuga, you know and like other things, you know, so we like when we talk about
CeeJay Barnaby (40:44)
Mm.
Yes.
Peter Fae (41:01)
the manipulative tendencies of corporations or the oligarchies or stuff like that, you know, these are a, they’re a byproduct of the Kali Yuga. Like everybody’s messed up. So it’s kind of like it isn’t just about the individuals, you that you might have a criticism about because we feel they’re acting in an inhuman way, right? It’s the understanding that everyone is acting in an inhuman way because the environment itself or the age itself
CeeJay Barnaby (41:25)
Hmm.
Peter Fae (41:31)
is jostled. Yeah, breathe that. You know, so it’s extra hard to be noble at this time.
CeeJay Barnaby (41:32)
reads that. ⁓
Yeah. Considering your path and all that you’ve experienced, how do you balance living in the mythic without losing touch with everyday practicalities? What do you do for grounding it? mean, I know you take, actually write the story as well, but what else, what else do you do to actually keep yourself sort of bridging the worlds without going too far into one or the other?
Peter Fae (42:05)
You know, it’s funny, I’m in an interesting place right now because when I was…
Part of the I feel part of the the grand human challenge that That I’ve lived very deeply and what everyone lives to one degree or another It tracks back and this was part of what my my understanding to the mystic art showed me it tracks back into Where we’re at in consciousness You know and so for example I my story
has been characterized by like if someone were to ask me like I’m not a guru I’m a seer and a guru is like you know that they know the exact mechanism of the thing that give you a crea or repetitive practice that you can do biochemically they’re going to give you some sound vibrations to do to change your consciousness a seer sees things and has some degree of alchemical understanding based on seeing right so for me
Because I’ve primarily been a seer, I may be moving in the direction of Guru, which is like seer to alchemist to Guru, right? But it’s like my strength has been in perceiving. So for example, when I walked up the stone steps and I was there in the Odin seat and I was there with my wolf, with Ivan, and I was like, right, I’m living the myth of like I’m an adventurer climbing the stone steps, having an experience where I’m now looking over the lake and I’m seeing the cosmos, you know, where the lake embodies.
the liquidity of form going back to the raindrops, right? And where the mountains are like the grounding of that, but that you have to get to the heights or the depths to really see that, either really deep in the mushrooms, ayahuasca, really high in the mountains, meditation, and where my whole quest has been about grounding the crown in the ground.
So my tendency is to see things on the level of the gods. My difficulty has been the repetitive things that people do to maintain the body and to do this and to do that. So my natural state would be much like the violet of your backdrop, right? Would be like, we are the gods and this is this and this is that. And really understanding that ground state. So when I came back from the quest, I had lived this truly mythical journey.
But, you know, I was not really together in the earth plane. know, it’s just like I had been… I didn’t have a problem living in Karnia. Because I was… being that my devotion is to story, I would work at the library and the library was sacred to me.
You know, like my experience of a library is very deep because it’s connected to the Akashic Library, which I’m an ambassador of. So it’s like, it’s a very deep, even now living in Menlo Park, I literally live across the street from the Ravenswood Library, like at a place called the Ravenswood as in like Hewnan and Mugen, right? It’s like that, you know, but it’s been like that. And there’s this quality of where is the line.
CeeJay Barnaby (45:12)
Yeah.
Peter Fae (45:19)
our thought and the manifest reality. So for me, when I came back with like nothing, you know, in terms of material possessions, but everything in terms of the jewel of awareness, to Lake Tahoe, and I was received by my another, the other member of the Academy, Cassandra Banks, who I’m living with now, who’s a fabulous seer, and she offers divinations on the Mythika. And
I’m also an excellent seer, but my focus is more on the world rather than I don’t usually go into the… I’ll go into someone and help them see their mythos.
But I’m not so much on the, me give you an individual reading in this moment. I’m more on the like, what’s your math? How does it relate to the world? You know, it’s more macro. And, but so for me, I had to get really grounded in order to bring the mythical forward. So I was living in the deep mythos and have now spent three years living like in the South Bay where it’s Menlo Park, Palo Alto. call it Startopia because it’s like everybody here has a startup, right? This is a different, if you don’t know, cause you
CeeJay Barnaby (46:02)
Mmm. Mmm.
Peter Fae (46:27)
I assume you’re on the other side of the world, right? If you don’t know, Palo Alto is where the headquarters for Facebook meta is. Where the headquarters for Google is. Where the headquarters for Amazon is. Where the headquarters for… What’s that?
CeeJay Barnaby (46:39)
Mm.
It needs a new, this
area really does need a new myth. You’re in the right place.
Peter Fae (46:47)
totally. Totally. I live in the center of the oligarchy.
When people go on about politics, I’m just like, no, man, we have the cash shield, the capital action security help. It’s like an energy shield that like nothing going on in that thing is all reliant on like the node of what’s going on here. Nothing bothers anything. I live in the center of the empire. Right?
CeeJay Barnaby (46:57)
You
Yeah.
Peter Fae (47:13)
And, but the thing is, is that this is actually like a super erudite place. Like Stanford is here. You know, we’re just south of San Francisco. San Francisco is big consciousness. And it’s like, what was interesting is that. So for me, grounding out, getting the mythical going, building a product set, getting the interviews going, building the infrastructure for that, building the AI for that, creating the images for that.
has consumed me. So I’ve been very much in the trying to land in the world, not trying to maintain the magic. And I’ve realized that by being in this, it has disconnected me from the magic a bit. And that now, even as I have the conversation with you, it’s a reminder of, wait, I’ve got my elvish armor, I’ve got my lion thing, and I’m having this whole experience of the universe is reminding me.
through the process of me telling the story, but it’s in the context of I went on the quest, it was a super ordeal, I came back from the quest, and then I was like taking on the patterns of the entrepreneurship in order to facilitate delivering the myth to the people. So my long game is delivering things so that I can be more blatantly in the magic.
but also honoring the people, the places, and the events in that world, which brings us back to, remember Network, Fade Down Away? Remember that one, right? 977? Powerful, super powerful for me, because I had a moment like Legolas. yeah.
CeeJay Barnaby (48:56)
Yeah, powerful, super powerful. Yeah. Yeah, me too.
Yeah, yeah. That movie changed my life as well. Even at a very young age when I watched it.
Peter Fae (49:12)
Same, same. Cause I saw myself as, I’m like Howard Beals. You I’m like the guy who’s like going on and on in the rainstorm. And then he gets that speech by, who was it? Who was the actor? It was so good. Where he meets that guy who’s the titan of the industry. And they just have that thing is like, you have upset the powers. Right? And, and, it’s like, and I was like, wait, what if Beals, the guy who has the, ⁓ he’s like talking truth, right? What if he owned
CeeJay Barnaby (49:19)
Yeah.
Peter Fae (49:42)
network.
That’s what I did.
I didn’t experience like Legolas from Lord of the Rings, right? I was like, there is a fell voice on the air. You know, when I felt stories being used intuitively, I seven years old, I felt stories being used intuitively to crush the people. And I was like, I’m done.
CeeJay Barnaby (50:04)
Absolutely. That’s exactly
what’s happening. You you look at the stream of, for want of a better word, bullshit that is actually coming out as news continuously. We’ve got things to be worried about continuously. AI is going to destroy everyone and take everyone’s life. Yeah, exactly right. you know, robots are coming and it’s just bullshit. But this is the story they tell to keep everyone in place.
Because if everyone knew their power, they would have none.
Peter Fae (50:33)
it’s,
Right, but then gaining your power, then that becomes, it becomes a real, now you’re looking at the crux of what is divination? Like what is manifestation? You know, like why? Did you have the, ⁓ I want some vegetable tempura. And then like I had an experience at Burning Man where I there with my friend Patience, not Patience Yanderelin, another Patience that I knew from Kauai. And we were sitting there we had like 10 people.
And he was trying to make some food and I think he had like a potato. Right? He’s like, trying to cut it up for me. Right? And I’m just like, this is a fool’s errand. Right? But then suddenly this girl in like a bag and outfit, drive comes up on a bike and she just puts on the thing and she’s like, hey, somebody order a pizza? And patience without missing a beat was like right here. Right?
CeeJay Barnaby (51:37)
I love that. I love that sort of stuff.
Peter Fae (51:39)
And so she comes
in and she brings a piece steaming hot like it just came out of some I don’t know where they had that they had to have a pizza oven. They had to have a pizza oven and you’re in the desert right and it’s just like she comes up and she’s got this thing and on the picture of the box I don’t know if you know the artist R. Crumb you know because I love I love nice I love comics and it shows like one of those classic kind of R. Crumb things
CeeJay Barnaby (51:48)
Yeah.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Peter Fae (52:03)
where like kind of like a nerdy looking guy is like there and there’s like this woman she’s got like her foot up like this right and she’s like she’s like holding up a pizza he’s like looking up at her probably upper dress right and it just says it just says but she’s totally on it right she’s got his foot on him and it just says devil girl pizza if you don’t like it you can eat me and i was
CeeJay Barnaby (52:22)
Yeah.
That’s perfect.
⁓ God, that’s so, that’s so Burning Man. That’s so Burning Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that sort of stuff happens all the time when you’re in that mythic space. That’s, yeah.
Peter Fae (52:34)
That was so good! It was so fresh!
It does, but then the question
becomes, you have to have like a realistic look at, you know, your, cause I thought that I could just live in that world all the time. But you know, it’s just like, no, man, and I was hardcore about it. Like I was in the car, I was living in Karnia, I was on ABT and I used to have a lot of money. Like I inherited a lot of money. So I had, you know, when I went on the quest, I had inherited a million dollars. My father died and I had taken it as.
CeeJay Barnaby (53:02)
Mm.
Peter Fae (53:10)
I’d always considered myself, I’ve lived the life of a prince, you know, I was, my father was very wealthy in New York City, and we used to go for like rides in the carriages, they have these stagecoach carriages in Central Park, you know, I was very blessed in that way, and we drove in a limo all the time, right? And when he died, I inherited from the insurance settlement about a million dollars, and I used that to fund the quest. And then in 2016, actually late 2015,
CeeJay Barnaby (53:35)
Yes.
Peter Fae (53:40)
That was gone. And I got a thing from the divine that was like, okay, you’re on donations now. And then I was on donations from 2016 to basically about now, or at least the last year or so, where I was just, that was it. mean, everything was shut down. Things I tried to do that would make money didn’t happen. Trying to visualize things like that didn’t happen. My mind didn’t happen. I was just on the quest. I had to surrender.
to the larger sense of things, which again is like co-creation. Not just my will or my imagining of separate will, but this larger thing. And as that came together…
CeeJay Barnaby (54:13)
Yes. ⁓
Peter Fae (54:28)
there was the recognition that…
You know, in order to live in that world, you know, it’s not like you don’t live in this world. It’s not like the kind of elvish clan that made the leather armor for me. It’s not like they’re not actually living in the world as people, you know, or if you know the people at fairy worlds, you know, and who are a number of these like incarnates who are like living in various things of relationship with the goddess and the fairy realms and…
Everything from like the fairy congress in twist Washington to fairy worlds or to a lot of the people in Portland or the Eugene, you know, ⁓ Oregon or Ashland, the goddess temple of Ashland, like all of these places in Oregon that I visited on my quest and mapped out had these people who were living this mythopoetic life. Like my friend grail who runs the goddess temple of Ashland. Like she goes to, ⁓ what’s it called England? the stone.
CeeJay Barnaby (55:31)
Stonehenge. Stonehenge. Glastonbury Festival. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Peter Fae (55:31)
the, what’s that? Glastonbury, no, Glastonbury. Yeah,
but she goes to Glastonbury and she gives these like teachings, or Dakota Chanel, who’s this water priestess that is a good ally of mine. She like takes women on journeys to the pool in France that the Magdalen was said to come out of, you know, and she teaches them to channel their feminine powers. But these are real people, like they’re living real lives. And that, I feel that that,
That crucial understanding that it’s not fantasy, it’s reality seen at depth, it’s not, it’s super normal. You know? That’s right. I plugged your show while on the show. Totally. And it is, because it’s like, these are real people. know, like when I got back from the quest, I mean, I’ve been like, you know, Ubering people around and I had nothing. It was like the king coming back from the quest. I have the jewel.
CeeJay Barnaby (56:15)
Thank you.
Peter Fae (56:31)
of the realization of the world tree, the grove of life in the mythic. And that’s part of what I’m on about is that what we talk about in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life or the Norse World Tree or other things like that is the grove of life, the web of life, is that we’re all actually interconnected. We’re all a part of the planet. We’re a part of the mycelia weave. We just don’t realize that because the mind is distracted by shitty media, but it’s just like in reality we’re all a part of it. And the…
You know, when I got back, I had nothing. And, you know, my car, the 30-year-old Subaru died. She was just done. It was like the Blues Brothers. I love that so much. You know, the car just falls apart when they get to their destination, right? And, ⁓ I say that a lot, because it’s the story points for me. And… So I rented a car.
CeeJay Barnaby (57:13)
Yeah, it’s exhausted.
Peter Fae (57:29)
to give people ride chairs, because I didn’t have any money and I needed a car. That was like $400 a week to rent the car. It’s like 16 hours of work. And so, plus or minus tips, right? And so then I was just doing that, and then I eventually just got a car. I got this awesome car, and now I’m setting up my mobile studio to go to the festivals and interview the characters and do the thing. But what I’m saying is that we all live in the real world.
There’s just layers to the world that you gotta make your rent. You gotta do this, you gotta do that. You know, I built on all this infrastructure of the Mythica and something kept making me incoherent when I tried to move forward with things and I realized it was of a timing higher than myself. So it’s like, to answer your question of balancing the magical crown chakra realization of the depths of who we are and the very like, you know, okay, I gotta pay the bills, I gotta do this, I gotta do, you know, like this.
CeeJay Barnaby (58:02)
Mmm.
Peter Fae (58:28)
I gotta be mindful of this, is it’s challenging. You know, I mean my thing, and this is the way I move forward with that, this is my attempts to answer your question, right? So my attempts to move forward with that are having to create a network whereby I’m giving the magical world to the people, which is then giving it to myself.
So it’s like.
CeeJay Barnaby (58:52)
So
you have a long term plan here by the sound of it, like a long game.
Peter Fae (58:57)
Yeah, yeah, I mean, because I
always wanted to give people the magic and I realized that one, you have to understand what’s going on and that’s a journey. Because going back to the beginning of our, you’re awesome by the way. I hope I’m not taking up all the air. just like, got me so.
CeeJay Barnaby (59:12)
Thank you, so are you. No, no, no,
it’s great. No, no, this has been right on point for everything I need to look at as well. So it’s an excellent conversation and I’m actually looking at the time going, we’re getting close to the end, but we’ve barely scratched the surface. So I think this is gonna have to be a series. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Peter Fae (59:28)
Yeah, we can always come back. We can always come back and go into it, you know? But
just to say, so when I met Delirium in New York City in 2002, I literally, I’m brownstone, I’m walking through the streets, I’m in like this Crown Chakra fugue, I’m moving from one space of being to another, and I met this woman, half-shared head, English accent, Delirium. Like from the Sandman series. And I’m like, and I was feeling myself as an avatar of destruction.
Like that wave of Shiva, because I do have awareness that there’s no separation and that actually destroys the illusion, by definition. Which can be unsettling for people, but it’s part of my function. It’s also creation. And so, but when I met Delirium, I was like, I’m in the realms of Delirium. If I’m meeting her for real, then I’m in Delirium. But then, so then I was like, okay, what’s going on? I need to get
CeeJay Barnaby (1:00:20)
Yeah. Yes.
Peter Fae (1:00:29)
From Delirium, this relates to the character, back to Delight. Because in Neil Gaiman’s series, who also wrote American Gods, Delirium used to be Delight. And I realized that, you know, anything that any artist creates, any artist, including myself, is a reflection of the patterns of the age. And so, he’s having, my interpretation was that that was a divination into these primal forces that affect everyone’s life.
And the movement from delirium back to the delight, for me, was the microcosm of the movement from the Kali Yuga back to the Satya Yuga from the age of incoherence. The age of darkness, the age of like, ⁓ people manipulating you, just messing with you all the time, hard to stay noble, your own thoughts are working against you, you all this karmic debt. That’s what’s going on right now. I’m not trying to be not hopeful, I’m just trying to be realistic, like a Viking about it.
CeeJay Barnaby (1:01:26)
Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Peter Fae (1:01:28)
You
know, and it’s just like, that’s going on. But we want to move to delight. We want to move to the natural exuberance of being human. But this, this isn’t easy. mean, even for myself, I’m like, because I’m coming from the crown chakra into the root chakra, it’s been like an ongoing, this may be humble, right? An ongoing journey into like the, you know, cause you, you know, you don’t always get what you want, but sometimes if you try.
You get what you need.
CeeJay Barnaby (1:01:58)
That’s right. Yeah, I think we’ve all experienced that where you actually manifest your negativity and then go, ⁓ okay, I just woke myself up again. ⁓ You know what I mean?
Peter Fae (1:02:10)
Right, and
becomes this whole idea of like, what is just in our mind, and what is the way we’re interpreting the conditions through our mind. Like I was just like, law of correspondence, I haven’t gotten the mythic out there, I’m ride sharing for people, I’m a failure. But then on the other way of looking at it, it’s like, no dude, you came back, you did a Herculean, demigod level task of like mapping the Akasha, right? And now you’re delivering it to the people in perfect timing. Was that perception and self-hatred, was it real?
CeeJay Barnaby (1:02:18)
Mm.
Mm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Peter, look, we’ve come to the end of this episode, I’m afraid to say, because I try to keep it around about one hour. But as I said, this is going to have to be a series because I’ve barely scratched the surface of the questions I wanted to get to. And I know we’ve got a lot more to say. I want to say this before we go. How can people find your work now and where would you encourage them to start?
Peter Fae (1:02:58)
Oh my god, I win!
So you can find my work on IntotheMythica.com. That’s like into the mythical world, like into the mythical with an L, take off the L. IntotheMythica.com. And I also have an Instagram and I’m gonna start a whole thing of social media in my coming back from the quest, getting a car, just about to do it, setting up the thing. I’m just about to start my own podcast and do all these things. So, you know, I say to people, come check out what I’m saying. I’m gonna be teaching the physics of the quest.
I’m going to be interviewing characters from the world of the Mythica and providing like comics courses and content. And if you show up like, don’t know when you’re publishing this podcast, but I’m like right at the launch thing right now. So there should be lots of stuff for you guys to check out.
CeeJay Barnaby (1:03:54)
Awesome. Excellent. All right. Thank you very much for your time, Peter and all that you’ve shared. It’s mind blowing. I’m going to put those links down in the show notes. And ⁓ yeah, I’ll look forward to our next episode. There’s going to be so much more to talk about. Like I said, barely scratched the surface on the questions here. So yeah, this is wild. Thank you.
Peter Fae (1:04:14)
I’m super into it. I’m super into it. You’re awesome. Just let’s set up another time. We’ll get it done. Send me an email. We’re on it. We’re connected. We’re part of the resistance. Or the acceptance. One of them. I’m not sure.
CeeJay Barnaby (1:04:17)
Yeah.
you
Yes, it’s the same thing, different sides.
Alright, okay, I say goodbye to the listeners.
Wow, that was like mind blowing to talk to Peter just now. And exactly I’m playing for what I need to hear because I’ve lived this mythic life myself in my own way. And as I mentioned in the episode, I had an encounter with Saturn way back when where sat and manifest and I went through a lot of things. I’m not going to talk about it right now because I think Peter and I are going to get into it in another conversation. And because we’ve only really scratched the surface of how many questions I had for Peter.
We’re going to make this into episode one and I invite you all to come back to episode two, which we’ll be recording again soon. And ⁓ yeah, I’ll make announcements about that when it’s going to come out. So thank you very much for listening.
