Members

Many Mythopoeic Society members have set up their own web sites; as a benefit of membership, we offer links on this page to the personal web sites of our members. We hope this list of links will help Mythopoeic Society members meet and communicate with each other, exchange information, and share interests and activities.

These links must reference personal pages, not stores or commercial businesses. The Mythopoeic Society disavows any knowledge or implied endorsement of what its members are up to.

If you are interested in being included, please send your web site address and a brief description (one or two sentences) to webmaster@mythsoc.org.
