You wag, you !

The Hero Planes are definitely Jungian, IMO, but the Sorcery World IMO certainly isn't ; the Spirit Plane is similar to different to what I know about Eliade's model (which suffers, as far as I can tell, from a fair amount of Old European intellectual arrogance) ; the God World surely is ; and the transcendental plane can be seen to be (the 'is' word is too strong, here) almost purely Campbellian in its implicit catholicism.

At the very least, Mircea Eliade is influencing Glorantha via Steve Martin.
Who dislikes Campbell. As I do, apart from the fact that he is an EXCELLENT initiator. One of our Seven Evil Uncles ... :-)
Julian Lord,

Very much looking forward to next week !!
