Where stories
become maps
for living.
Welcome to Stories Café.
Stories Café is a quiet corner of the internet for people who love stories and want to live more deliberately. Through essays on literature, films, and archetypes, and cultural reflections, I explore how the deeper layers of meaning in stories can illuminate the choices we make and the lives we create. If you’ve ever felt that stories contain more wisdom than we are usually taught to see, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Creator of Stories Café
I’m a writer, teacher, and mythologist. For more than twenty-five years I have worked with the symbolic and archetypal patterns found in classic and modern stories.
In my academic work, my teaching, and two internationally acclaimed books, I explore the deeper layers of meaning in literature, film, and myths. I believe that learning to understand these layers can help us live our lives more deliberately.
