Join the Mythopoeic Society

MythSoc 50th Anniversary The Mythopoeic Society is a non-profit international literary and educational organization for the study, discussion, and enjoyment of fantastic and mythic literature, especially the works of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams. The word “mythopoeic” (myth-oh-PAY-ik or myth-oh-PEE-ic), meaning “mythmaking” or “productive of myth,” aptly describes much of the fictional work of the three authors who were also prominent members of an informal Oxford literary circle (1930s-1950s) known as the Inklings.

Individual Membership Options

Membership includes Mythprint, our quarterly news & reviews publication. Membership with Mythprint delivered electronically as a PDF is $15.00 annually, anywhere in the world. If you want a printed copy of Mythprint mailed to you, please select your location to determine cost. To subscribe to Mythlore or The Mythic Circle, please follow the links or visit our Publications page and remember, society members get discounts on subscriptions and Mythcon registration.

NOTE: The Mythopoeic Society used to send out membership cards with each joining or renewal. These cards are merely for display; they are not required for identification or for any Society purchases or activities. In an effort to reduce waste and move towards a more ecologically sustainable world, we no longer send printed cards as a matter of course, but we give you the option of receiving one if you would like one. You can make that choice in any of the ordering selections below.

Multiple people within the same household may join the Society for a reduced fee; they won't receive a second (or third, etc.) copy of Mythprint but they will receive the discounts which go along with membership. Additional member details below. The Mythopoeic Society also offers Lifetime Memberships for dedicated enthusiasts. The price varies by the age of the member; please see pricing, below.

Please note: if you don't wish to use PayPal you may also join the Mythopoeic Society by using the membership application (PDF - please download and print out) to specify your selection and mail us a check for the appropriate amount. Please be sure to include your mailing and email addresses and whether or not you wish to be included in the Members Directory.
