Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian is packed with fairy lore, liminal spaces, and otherworldly beings. Exploring the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Sierra Madre Occidental faerie zones in Blood Meridian enables a reader to transcend the western woodland conception of fairies into the Duende spirit. A manifestation of an otherworldly evil.
Judge Holden, The Kid, and the men that look like "fairybook beasts" are archonic/archetypal characters representing something ambiguous to logic. What axiomatic tradition does McCarthy draw these ideas? In today's video, I will postulate the faerie energy/tradition aligns most with the characters of Blood Meridian!

People love to call Cormac McCarthy a nihilist. However, I think that's a pretty lazy label. Today, we will be hearing Cormac McCarthy discuss why he writes dark novels in a 2011 interview with Lawrence Krauss and Werner Herzog. McCarthy has never really discussed this at length before, and at some level, this is as close as he gets to talking about his own writing process. More videos dropping soon! If you want to join the McCarthy newsletter link is down below. Also, dropping daily McCarthy content on social media and on the McCarthy Underground Podcast.
This is the 3rd reupload because of some problems lol... Sorry!

If you want the best introduction to greek mythology Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" is my favorite pick! It is a classic work that isn't watered down for the modern audience and explores in depth the most important parts of Greek Mythology. This isn't an encyclopedic text that lists all the gods and goddesses, but rather covers stories (that involve all the major figures) in depth with beautiful writing.
