Warren’s page. Yours starts the same way.

Your page

Build something sacred

What you make here isn’t content for a feed. It’s the record of your own self-discovery: the archetypes that symbolize you, the beliefs you have uncovered, and the stories you finally wrote down. That record is sacred, and it deserves a home made with care.

How people get to know you

Known by what moves you

Archetypes don’t just feel like you. They symbolize who you really are, beyond your job, your reputation and your face.

On most sites, those three things are what people meet first. Here they meet the animals, colors, places and roles that stand for you: a fox, the color purple, a library, a guardian. It says more than a profile photo ever could, and it gives people something real to talk to you about.

  • an animal
  • a color
  • a place
  • a role you play
  • an object
  • a myth

Two guides, every paid plan

The sage in the wood

Warren

Tell him about your day, or a story you keep telling about yourself. He listens, remembers, and finds the archetypes living in it.

Meet Warren

The keeper of dreams

Morpheus

Bring him last night’s dream. He helps you decipher it, and tells you which way he sees your figment flowing.

Meet Morpheus

Collect the cards they deal you.Every one is yours to keep

Start free. Keep what you make.

Most people begin with a free page. Become a Myth Keeper when you want to write on your page and talk with Warren and Morpheus, and a Wayfinder or a Myth Weaver to go further in.

Figment is what you spend to play Encounters, the site’s interactive stories. Free pages start with 30, and every plan adds more each month.

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”
Oscar Wilde

Your archetypes are the mask, and behind them you are free to be honest.

Social media, done differently

We still hope you lose an evening here. We just want it to be because something moved you, not because something was working on you.

  • Most social media: Third-party ads in everything you see.

    MyMythos: No third-party ads. Not in your feed, not on your page, not anywhere.

  • Most social media: A secret algorithm deciding what you see, tuned to steer how you think and feel.

    MyMythos: No secret algorithm trying to manipulate your thoughts and feelings.

  • Most social media: You perform as your face, your name and a reputation to protect.

    MyMythos: You choose how you are seen: archetypes that symbolize who you really are, so you can say what is true.

  • Most social media: Throwaway accounts, spam and trolls.

    MyMythos: Only Myth Keepers start posts, which keeps spam and trolls out. Free members can answer each group’s monthly question.

  • Most social media: Built to grow fast for investors.

    MyMythos: A passion project twenty years in the making, paid for by its members.

Grassroots social media

Kept alive by the people who love it

MyMythos isn’t owned by advertisers or investors. It’s paid for by its members, because we love this community and genuinely love being here.

Every Myth Keeper keeps the lanterns lit for everyone else, free pages included.

  • Member-funded
  • Independent
  • Passion project

Who is building this

This is my life’s work

I have been building MyMythos for twenty years. Not with venture capital, and not with a growth strategy. With modern social media there is no price for the account, and so you get spammers, vile people who don’t care if they’re banned, a feed full of ads, mental illness, and mass manipulation. Honestly, fuck Meta, and every other “you are the product” company.

When you chart your beliefs, who you are and the stories that have defined you, you realize quickly how much more that is worth than a Facebook post.

What we are building

Life without meaning is meaningless

If you lose all meaning in your life, you won’t even eat. So why aren’t we starting here? Build meaning, then live your life with that as your foundation.

  • A brass compass lying open on an old hand-drawn map.

    Meaningful

    You are not filling in a profile. You are charting what you believe and the stories that made you.

  • A cut violet gemstone resting on pale linen, catching the light.

    Beautiful

    Every archetype carries its own painting, color and hexagon. Nothing here is a gray card in a gray feed.

  • A crescent moon low in a pale twilight sky above a dark hedge.

    Enchanting

    Thousands of archetypes and corners that reward going and looking. It keeps a little of itself hidden.

  • A grey quill lying across a sheet of handwriting, by candlelight.

    Romantic

    Feeling over metrics, wonder over engagement. We would rather move you than measure you.

Is the free account really free?

Yes. No card, and no trial that runs out. You get a page at your own address, your eight archetypes and everything you collect, for as long as you like. New accounts also get 30 figment on your first day.

What happens if I stop paying?

You keep your page, your name and your picture, everything you wrote and collected, the boards you built, every reading Warren wrote you, and all the figment you have not spent. What waits for you to come back: Warren’s cottage, Morpheus’s border of dreams and the monthly reading, the premium worksheets, the monthly figment, page effects, and moving and hiding sections (your layout is kept just as you left it). Cancelling takes three clicks from your account page: Manage subscription, Cancel, and confirm. It is never hidden.

What is the difference between Myth Keepers, Wayfinders and Myth Weavers?

Every plan opens Warren’s cottage and Morpheus’s border of dreams, a reading from Warren every month, your own writing on the Commons, a page you dress and arrange yourself, and figment every month to walk Encounters with. The higher you go, the more figment arrives: 200 for Myth Keepers, 500 for Wayfinders and 1,500 for Myth Weavers. Wayfinders also set their page moving with figment motes, falling stars, lanterns or a gilt halo, and Myth Weavers add a self-drawing constellation and a crown of embers that no one else can wear.

Can I pay yearly, or change plans later?

Yes, both. Each plan can be paid monthly or yearly, and a year costs about the same as ten months. On a yearly plan your figment still arrives every month. You can move up or down from your account page at any time; moving up gives you the extra figment for the month as soon as the change is paid.

Can I take everything with me?

Yes. From your account you can download everything you have made in one file: your writing, your page, your timeline, your collections, your readings and your conversations with Warren. It is yours, so you should be able to carry it anywhere.

Do I have to use my real name?

No. Every page, free ones too, goes by a name you choose, and you can change it whenever you like. People get to know you through the archetypes you pick, not your face.

Will I see ads?

No third-party ads, ever. And there is no secret algorithm deciding what you see or nudging how you feel.

Who is Warren?

Warren is an old sage who keeps a cottage in the wood here; some call him the Owl. Every paid plan opens his door: sit with him, talk through what is going on in your life, and he will hand you the archetype cards that fit. Once a month he will also write you a reading from your own page.

Who is Morpheus?

Morpheus keeps the border where your dreams reach The Figment. He is older than Warren, and his friend, and every paid plan opens his door too. Bring him last night’s dream and he will help you decipher it: he asks how it felt before he says a word about it, remembers it next time, and deals you the archetype cards he sees in it.

What are figment and Encounters?

Encounters are the site’s interactive stories: you walk into one, make choices, and the archetypes you meet along the way can be yours to keep. Figment is what you spend to play them, about 10 a story. Free pages start with 30 and can walk every fully written Encounter once for free; every plan adds more figment each month, and anyone can buy more.

What is personal mythology?

The story you are living without noticing: the behaviors you repeat, the myths underneath them, and the events those myths began with. MyMythos gives you the figures and symbols to see it, and to write the next chapter on purpose.
